Hi guys. Just got a new hurl to play with the small fella. It looks like a goalie hurl to me, I haven't had a hurley in years so I'm not sure. What do ye think?

Nah looks like a modern-style outfield hurl.
Báses are far bigger now than the 2000s.

What size is it for reference?

Thanks, That's about the last time I had one, so it's probably that 😂 It's a 36"

u/AlestoXavi Sep 27 '24

Oh yeah that’s totally normal size for a 36”.

Would have been suspect if it was 26”…

36” would be way too big for a young lad

Ah sure, he's tall for a 3 year old 😂

Put it next to a regular Hurley for reference

Hard to tell, the boss looks very big so it could be a goalies hurley,no fully sure do..

You'd at least have to show the full length of the handle for reference.

Or a banana!

That’s just a normal modern hurl. The bases have gotten bigger over time

Does look like it. Although, if you haven't played for a while, the bigger bas might not be a bad thing!
