Hurley (stick)

Hurley, with sliotar

A hurley or hurl or hurling stick (Irish: camán) is a wooden stick used in the Irish sports of hurling and camogie.[1] It typically measures between 45 and 96 cm (18 to 38 inches) long with a flattened, curved bas ([bˠasˠ] BOSS, "palm of hand") at the end. The bas is used to strike a leather sliotar ball. GAA Rule 4.5 specifies that the bas should be no more than 13cm at its widest point,[2] however this rule is "ignored completely", with most hurleys having a bas in the region of 15.24 to 17cm.[3]
