Strike from the Hand

The core hurling strike — tossing the sliotar up and striking it from the hand for distance and accuracy.

How to do it

Toss the ball up a tiny bit, swing your hurley, and smack it out of the air with the flat side!

For Parents & Coaches

01

Small toss

Drop-toss the ball slightly in front — not too high.

02

Step in

Step onto the front foot as you strike.

03

Flat bas

Strike with the full flat of the hurley.
