I bought a small Doyle stick for my boy last year when he was 3 and it was a 24. Cost me £15!!!

Knowing you it must have broke your heart Tony - but you spent nearly as much as that on that wee Thai boy a few years ago did you not....

[Tony Baloney]

a) you don't know me and b) you and the site administrators will be hearing from my solicitor

[Minder]

I think you should apologise Nrico, that is a pretty serious allegation.

Hopefully your young lad will continue his interest in hurling and not want to take up football after this Sunday Deel Rover.

How do you get a young lad, will be 7 soon, to keep his right hand high on the hurl ?

He insists on holding the hurl golf grip style.

[dodo]

No more than Deel Rover's young lad, this buckeen is showing interest in hurling on his own. He's swinging away with what even I would see as an overly complicated swing. Will I just leave him on with making it up on his own ?
He'll be going to play hurling with a neighbouring club soonish anyway as our club is football only.

Thanks

Regard to grip, I wouldn't push it. I hurl off my left side normally, and I have the right hand on top. It actually makes you harder to hook because you don't have as big a swinging arc, you throw the ball up from 'under' the hurl and swing across the body.

What I would do, and I'm trying this with my 20 month old already, is to get him swinging on both sides. That's a big advantage. Start him with swinging left and right on the ground, and when he's able to puck it out of his hand, make sure he strikes off both sides. He'll actually get more distance off his left side, with the bigger swing, if he gets comfortable with it.

With my little lad, I have him swinging at daisys or tennis balls, left side, right side, but I make a game out of it Same with the football, kick with left and right.
