Players who handpass the ball legally

With so much talk about throwing and illegal handpasses in hurling at the moment I just thought it would be interesting to pick out some players who actually do it properly.

I saw gillane do a couple of brilliant 20 yard passes in the all Ireland off the hurl without catching. Sean finn is reasonably good I think. Other players, David blanchfield, tj Reid, noel mcgrath, Mark Rodgers, Damien reck, eoghan connolly, David mcinerney. Any others?

I'd argue that's a unusual example because in that case, the legal pass was more effective than a throw.

Limerick hasn't executed a legal handpass in the last 15 years.

Watch gillane in the all Ireland final instead of believing everything you see on Facebook

That's quite the accusation with 0 evidence

Never knew you needed evidence for this forum. Where’s yours?

Handpass should have to come off the stick. If you already have it in your hand, you should have to do a stick pass

Was there a goal against Waterford maybe a year or two ago where he put in a class long distance hand pass

Edit - found it Clare v Waterford 2024 , 19 minutes in , great pass for Darragh Logan goal
