Catching ball 3 times

obi604

in regard to hurling, I know you cannot catch the ball 3 times.

so lets say you jab lift the ball, CATCH 1, then you solo the ball and then catch the ball. CATCH 2

could it be an option at this point to play the ball to yourself.

i.e. do a little flick pass to yourself right in front of you

and then jab lift the ball again?

Yes you can do that. Or you can do that 'Kyle Hayes' thing of bouncing it off the ground back into your hand.

Just have to make sure after your second catch, when you're hitting to the ground it has to come of your hurl or be a legal handpass.

kyle hayes thing is tricky to do at speed :)

but as long as you can do a little "brick walsh" type flick out in front of you and run on to it again and pick it up, that is fine, I was kinda thinking an obvious pass like this to yourself may mean a free the other way

Shefflin made a career out of throwing the ball out in front of him once he came in to contact and regathering it. Never got pulled once.

Plenty of lads now making a career by just throwing the ball to a teammate!

"The Kyle Hayes thing"

Tell me you're new to hurling without telling me you're new to hurling.

Easier to say than bouncing off the ground with the hurl.

But good man 👌🏻👌🏻
