Spot on, the most important gift you can give any kid playing hurling is a proper gripO Regan has no chance of playing senior intercounty.
If he was the most disciplined committed lad in the country he would find it hard because he made it to adult level with that wrong hand grip.
Walter walsh is going to be the last ever senior hurler with the catching hand on top and he only survived because he is a giant tank of a man with some pace.
Lads who turn the hurley in cant even get to intercounty now..
Theres a lesson there for people who dont believe it matters what way kids hold a hurley.
It does.
Incredibly some still see this as a small issue not a game changer, I’ve witnessed former club hurlers tell kids it’s not an issue, I even had to go to one parent, who played a bit of inter county, and plead with him to encourage his son to change his grip, thankfully he listened
