There is a few lads in portaferry who handmake hurleys to whatever spec you want, big toe, weight etc. They're not bad but most people want these wafer thin yolks with a big bas so that's what they churn out.

If you give them a hurley they'll make an exact replica or if you go down there they'll normally make one for you as you wait.

Polish ones? Is that the ones that are imported and sold in west belfast. If so they are very bad. Too dry and break very easily
