| The hands are very important to the make up of the flick. Hands that slide are never going to provide the same level of power as hands that stay still. Hands that stay still are going to have the required control, accuracy and are also going to be able to whip over the ball at the end of the flick. The right index finger pointing down the stick is also critical to the success of the flick. This finger provides stability, leverage and also allows the flicker to get a better feel to what is going on at the end of the stick with the ball. | |
| The hand position should look like this on the stick. Index finger of right hand should be pointed down the shaft (This gives more leverage and feel when the ball is on the stick). Left hand needs to be at the top of the stick using the wraparound grip, it is turned slightly anti clockwise. It is the same grip as you would use to hold the stick when dribbling the ball. Both hands should be still and gripping the stick tight. Hands that Slide are never going to get enough power and control once you pick the ball up. |  |
| When a hand slides it is always the right hand that slides up the stick. This is generally because the flicker is not getting low enough and is compensating by sliding the right hand up the stick. You can remedy this in practice by taping the index finger of the right hand to the shaft of the stick! | |
