Back Cross Technique
The flicker starts approximately 2 yards from the ball with their right foot leading. The flicker moves his left foot first so it is parallel with the top of the circle. The flicker then moves his right foot so that it crosses behind the planted left foot to land in front of the ball. It is important to maintain a steady and consistent distance when landing the right foot in front of the ball. The lateral distance between the ball and the right foot should also be kept consistent
There are no performance differences between the front cross and the back cross. The techniques are different as it all depends on the level of comfort that the flicker has and how consistent the distance is between the ball and the feet. I would suggest that if the flicker is struggling to get low then they might want to cross behind the left foot. This puts more distance between the ball and the right foot and forces the flicker to bend more and get lower.
