Drill Balls can be used in many ways to improve the skills of hurling in young players. Two different lengths of cord are supplied to suit various drills and age groups. The amount of possible drills using this equipment will depend on the imagination of coaches and those taking part. Each set contains four drill balls on shock cords (two x 4.5 metres and two x 6.5 metres), mallet, peg extractor, instructions and carry bag. Example Drills: Jab-Lift and StrikeFirst player jab-lifts ball with hurley, catches, then strikes ball hard about waist-high straight over ground peg and steps aside. Next player moves in to control the returning ball and repeat. Any number of players can line up to take part in this drill.
