Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[LITB1997]

Thanks for giving your expert opinion on rims.

In fairness, KK’s Eddie Brennan was discussing it a couple of years ago and I think it was on ‘Off the Ball’ and he took an older sliotar from a drawer in his house and he stated that the rims now are far shorter and thinner than they were. He probably knows a thing or two about sliotars in fairness to the man…..

I’m guessing smaller/shorter means more aerodynamic as well. Also the more modern ones maybe be of a similar weight but with the material they probably stay that way even on a wet day? I remember the ones when I played in my teens and if the day was wet it added what felt like a few lbs to the weight.

Kilkenny always favoured sliotars with more protruding rims wheres Cork favoured more streamlined ones......give me the cummins all-star one anyday over the brutal high rimmed ones!

Will be good fun in a few years to see the impact of engineered hurleys once the ash has run out.

I’m pretty sure Hegarty uses a bamboo hurley as it stands

They might still be waiting for their first if that was the case. You don’t know where they (or us) would have gone from there. In my opinion we were their equals in 08
