Hurley (stick)

A hurley or hurl or hurling stick (Irish: camán) is a wooden stick used in the Irish sports of hurling and camogie. It typically measures between 45 and 96 cm (18 and 38 in) long with a flattened, curved bas ([bˠasˠ] BOSS, "palm of hand") at the end. The bas is used to strike a leather sliotar ball. GAA Rule 4.5 specifies that the bas should be no more than 13 cm at its widest point, however this rule is "ignored completely", with most hurleys having a bas in the region of 15.24 to 17 cm.
