Walter Walsh is left handed when striking and right for everything else.

Are any of these guys left handed? They may be predominantly left sided or bed say closed sided if their strong hand is their right hand.

Walter Walsh, like Gary Kirby, Kevin Hennessy, Michael Coleman are or were left handed hurlers. Top players all but, from a coaching perspective, I would tell a young lad not to copy their style (ie what Zulu said). I think, for me the model left handed hurler was Joe Deane..you would hardly know he was left handed..

well in picking this team i went by which hand they hold the hurley with ie the top hand on the hurley. this is the case for all the above players. i didnt base it on which side they predominately strike from

Is TJ Reid not a right handed hurler who holds the hurley with opposite hand?

Nope, Tj is a natural left handed hurler , watch him hit dead balls off his left side
