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.
