| The follow through of a drag flick is very similar to a topspin tennis shot. The stick picks up the ball and then releases over the ball thus putting topspin on the ball. This makes the ball swerve, turn and spin in the air which makes it harder for the defenders to track and the goalkeeper to save. The follow through is where the aim and the accuracy come from. The photographs below show the follow through in the different stages. | |
| See how the ball is actually off the turf and still on the stick. Pay attention to the stick angle, almost like it is carrying the ball like a shovel. Also pay attention to how far the ball is in front of the front foot yet it still hasn’t left the stick. |  |
| See how the wrists are wrapping the stick over the ball in order to put topspin on the ball. Also notice all the weight is still being transferred and the hips are still rotating. Pay attention to the head beginning to come up so that the flicker can see exactly where he releases the ball. |  |
