Hand-Stitched in Sialkot, Played in Ireland
We are not drop-shippers. We are the factory. Every GYMHUR Sliotar is hand-stitched by expert craftsmen in Sialkot, the world capital of leather sports goods. We control the quality from the raw cowhide to the final stitch, ensuring every ball meets match standards.
Yes. We manufacture match-grade and training sliotars strictly adhering to official Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) weight, size, and rim specifications. We produce standard Size 5 for senior hurling (110–120 grams) and Size 4 for camogie and juvenile levels. Every ball is quality-controlled for optimal rim height and thickness to ensure a consistent strike and flight path.
We construct our premium match sliotars using highly durable, waterproof Polyurethane (PU) / polymer cores to ensure they retain their shape and weight in wet Irish weather conditions, unlike traditional solid cork cores that absorb moisture. The outer casing is stitched from premium,synthetic leather (2.0mm–2.2mm thickness) for maximum durability on the pitch.
Absolutely. As an OEM sports goods manufacturer, we provide full customization for clubs, schools, and private labels. We can custom-stamp or screen-print your club crest, sponsor logos, and brand name directly onto the leather panels. You can also customize the thread color used for the pronounced rim stitching to match your exact team colors.
Our Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for fully customized, stamped sliotars is highly accessible for individual GAA clubs and wholesale distributors, typically starting at 50 to 100 balls. Standard bulk production takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks, with direct-to-door air freight delivery options available to Ireland and the UK to ensure you have your equipment before the season begins.
