The Jab Lift

A sharp jab of the hurley under a moving or stationary sliotar to lift it into the hand on the run.

How to do it

Give the ball a quick little poke underneath and it pops up into your hand — jab and catch!

For Parents & Coaches

01

Head over ball

Lean over the sliotar so your eyes are above it.

02

Sharp jab

A quick lift under the ball — not a long sweep.

03

Two hands

Catch with hurley hand and free hand ready.
