What is hurly stick?

Hurling stick, also known as a hurley stick, is a wooden stick that is used in the Irish sport of hurling. It is an ancient Irish sport that is played in two teams of 15 players each. The game is played with a small leather ball called a sliotar, and the aim is to score points or goals by hitting the ball with the hurley stick into the opponent's net.

The hurling stick is made from ash wood and has a curved blade on one end. The blade is flat on one side and has a rounded edge on the other side. It is curved in a way that is ideal for hitting the ball while running. The grip of the hurling stick is similar to that of a hockey stick, with a rubber grip handle.

The length of a hurley stick can vary depending on the player's preference, but it typically ranges from 26 inches to 36 inches. The blade of the stick is usually about 11 inches long and 3 inches wide.

Hurling is a popular sport in Ireland, and the hurling stick is an important part of the game. It is also used in camogie, which is the female version of the sport, and in other Irish stick games such as shinty in Scotland.
