There's just less of the hurling around the field. Firing balls over from long distances takes a lot out of it. More set pieces as the ball goes wide or over for a point, etc. Very rigid, very formulaic, there is just less play.......

I remember when a pointed 65 was seen as a great achievement.
Apart from the recent colour change has there been weight adjustments to the current sliother? I mean has it got lighter in the last 20/25 years? I’d agree that there are much more long range points happening in matches, Hegarty scored one yesterday from what seemed liked 90 yards out. I think it makes from great viewing but can see the issues with bypassing the forwards and just scoring from distance if you have the skill.
I can’t imagine how far Rockies legend John Blondie Horgan would be pucking it today.
Only worth it if you're getting the 12 month subscription?
County champs to kick off summer of live Cork GAA Championship broadcasts with the Irish Examiner
Over the past two years, we have been thrilled and humbled by the public response to our Cork GAA Championships coverage during an unprecedented and difficult time in our lives when restrictions prevented, then limited, followers from attending matches.www.irishexaminer.com
Irish Examiner will be a priced streaming model this year. I was disappointed at first when I saw the per game streaming cost but all in all not a bad deal when paying monthly. Hopefully they will show even more games this year. They will show 5 games across the first two weekends.
There will be an €8 pay-per-view charge per game this season for followers seeking one-time access, or you may prefer our sizzling summer subscription offer for the Irish Examiner’s entire suite of content – including daily ePaper, GAA live streams, podcasts and acclaimed sports writing – for a stunning €5 per month, or €50 for 12 months.
Irish Examiner’s live broadcast schedule:
Friday, July 22: Cork Premier SFC: St Finbarr’s (champions) v Eire Óg, Pairc Ui Rinn, 7.30 pm; Saturday, July 23: Senior A: St Michael’s v Knocknagree, Carrigadrohid, 7pm; Sunday, July 24: Cork Premier SFC: Clonakilty v Castlehaven, Rosscarbery, 7pm.

Managed to get one of the new yellow sliothars the day we lost to Galway in Thurles. The rim on the ball is very thin which is making it much easier to get a long strike of the ball. The weight of the sliothars hasn’t changed much I would say in recent years, however the rims have become much smaller.
Thanks for giving your expert opinion on rims.
You can pay €5 a month and cancel
As I said on the other thread, it's great value. The championship runs for 16 weeks, so only 20 bucks for that content.
