The Hook

Deflecting an opponent's strike by hooking the hurley around theirs at the top of the swing.

How to do it

As your friend swings to hit, reach your hurley around and give theirs a little hook to stop the swing!

For Parents & Coaches

01

Set the trap

Get in early and read the striker's back-lift.

02

Top of swing

Hook at the top of their swing, not the bottom.
