If the handpass was banned altogether it would be imperative on the player to keep the ball moving and not take it in to contact. I'd allow a pass off the hurl only. At the moment, players take the ball in to contact looking for a free and if it doesn't work out they give a hand pass.
I would also reduce inter county hurling to 13 players to allow players time and space. The game has changed from 15 a side, it is too many.

Same solution as football should implement.
Handpass all day long if you like, but you can only handpass backwards. Job done. Simple. Tactics will evolve.
Football is a disaster, only diehards can bear to watch it nowadays. Myself included, follow for tribal reasons rather than any love of the game anymore. Spoke to ex-Dublin footballer, says its unwatchable. Hear this everywhere.
Hurling thankfully still fantastic to watch - but correct to nip this disease in the bud in case it ever went the way of the embarrassment football now is.

A backwards only handpass in football would be a great idea. I've never heard that one I'm sure. But anyway, that's football. I haven't been following this thread; do we need to ban or amend the hurling handpass?
