Do you have to swap the hurl between hands in a?
Yes - like in this vid when yer man is running towards camera.

Iâm getting no joy from Google. Anyone able to say with certainty when the rule in football changed to allow players take frees from the hand?
1989/90 league had a load of new rules, some survived like the free from hands and some were scrapped like 4 quarters. 1990 the first championship with frees from hands but not the same rule as modern day.

In 1990 championship the player fouled could choose to take a free from the hands. If someone else took it then it had to be off the ground.

Definitely changed for 1990.
The old rules still applied in 1989.
Canât remember if sideline kick changed at the same time, think it did.

Sidelines were definitely out of the hand in 1990

Playing 6, I had to go kick the sidelines as the wasters outside could not do so. Takes me back
This is going to cause massive problems.
The advantage rule. This means if player is fouled but still manages to score or release the ball to a player in a better position, then the score counts or play can continue? Would that be about it?
How about the score counts and they also get a free
Youâre not far offâŚif the ball goes to a teammate who has a scoring opportunity- would you call that an advantage?
Yeah leave it off but if the fouled player takes the shot the score should still count and a free awarded, if they miss then just a free
So it has to be a score? It doesnât actually say that in the rules thoughâŚit says an advantage, not a score
Itâd be interesting to see if the facts back up Barry Kellyâs assertions.
To me, you have a very good chance of getting away with steps as long as you donât hesitate or seem unsure. Itâs nearly impossible to count steps when youâre looking at other things too, as Gough says.
The time based one is interesting but tp be practical itâll be impossible for refs to implement. Its hard enough fpr them now
A referee could be counting to 5 in his head during an advantage and now they want a simultaneous mental count for steps. Good luck with trying to get Coffey, Phelan or Flaherty to do that in Limerick.

The 65 as a restart is a ridiculous thing. Basically, its near enough an automatic score for putting a ball out of play. The 45 is nearly as bad, but doesnt have the same automatic score as the 65.
A solution maybe to start with a line ball placed on the 21? It gives the team possession back, you could try for a score off the line ball, but its not a given like it is with the 65.
A Carlow lad lost his hurl yesterday and ran on with the ball hopping it off his knee in a solo type motion. A free was given. Similar to one of the Wexford players soloing the ball against Galway and giving a free away. Seems a ridiculous rule. Is the intention to force a kick or a handpass away?
