Hurley (stick)
A hurley or hurl or hurling stick (Irish: ''camán'') is a wooden stick used in the Irish sports of hurling and camogie. It typically measures between 45 and 96 cm (18 to 38 inches) long with a flattened, curved ''bas'' ( , " palm of hand") at the end. The ''bas'' (which is less than 13 cm in width at its widest point) is used to strike a leather '' sliotar'' ball. Overview Hurleys are made from ash wood; the base of the tree near the root is the only part used and is usually bought from local craftsmen in Ireland (for about €20–50), who still use traditional production methods. However, for some time in the 1970s, hurleys made from plastic were used, mainly produced by Wavin. These proved more likely to cause injury, however, and were phased out. As of 2012, at least one manufacturer was producing synthetic hurleys approved for use by the GAA. On wooden hurleys, steel bands are used to reinforce the flattened end - though these are not permitted in camogie due ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
