Intro
(The review will be my personal opinions and I have not received any payment or products to conduct this review)
I ordered a Reynolds when they came out and soon thought that maybe people might want to read a more in depth review of the few synthetic hurls on the market.
Background
(Boulder is about 30 minutes Northwest of Denver, Colorado for those wondering!)
Our club quickly turned to the only synthetic hurley on the market, Cultec, which we have used for the last few years.
So why am I focusing on synthetic hurls instead of using the traditional ash hurl? Like I said above, the Boulder-Denver area is very dry, making it extremely difficult to care for ash hurls. We've tried soaking them in water and linseed oiling them, but they're still breaking. Some people have even resorted to putting a laminate material on the ash hurls to keep the moisture in. I've found this just makes the ash hurls very heavy and clunky.
With all this equipment I needed a hurl that I do not have to tend to after every practice or game and that performs well every time we used them which is why we turned to synthetic hurls.
Comparison Summary
In comparing these hurls I used all three in short, mid, and long range passing.
