Reasons All-Star, 5F 9 uses 34 inch Hurley
1. To get sliotar into my hand faster 2. I
dont get hooked as easily or as often as I
would with longer Hurley 3. I can swing the
Hurley more efficiently

Downsizing
19 of Hurling and Camogie Players from 2008
survey have downsized in the past few years
Why?
  • Lighter Hurley leading to
  • Better touch
  • Closer and better control
  • Shorter, quicker, better
  • strike
  • Less chance of being
  • hooked/blocked
  • Easier to solo

Size of Hurley I have always
used a short Hurley. It is easier to produce the
wristy swing that is required in hurling with a
shorter Hurley
Weight of Hurley Power comes from the speed of
the Hurley rather than the weight. I have
always gone for a light Hurley

Hurley Length Test (Suggestion)
  • Ask player to stand erect, looking straight
    ahead, with hands by
  • his/her side.
  • The correct length player can shake hands
    comfortably with top of
  • handle. Still looking straight ahead- arms
    extended down side of
  • body.
  • Using the above grip with dominant hand ask
    player to extend it
  • straight out from the shoulder. Thumb of
    dominant hand on the upper
  • edge for control and stability.
  • If Hurley correct length and weight player
    should be able to keep it
  • extended without too much discomfort for
    20/30 seconds.
