any one know any good hurling grips. ?

I usually get the karakal grip but of late i find the rip very easy after a short period.

I do not like marc grips as i find them no good in the rain so does anyone know any other grips to purchase?

I know that SLR but still I could easily go through 2 grips per hurley in a week and I have 6 or 7 hurleys and its €3.50 per grip. so i want something that will last a good while..

alot of its my own fault as i hold the top of the hurley firmly so that might be why they rip so easily.

"Championship" grips.

Light but durable. Perforated so not to hold moisture.

They are the only job, the other brands are a joke
