The dragflick can be the most deadly offensive weapon used at a Penalty Corner. A good dragflick can top speeds of 70mph and can leave the goalkeeper with no chance of making a save. You can curl it, squeeze it, put topspin on it, shoot high, shoot low, be deceptive with it and above all else score goals with enormous regularity. In Sydney 2000 62% of all Penalty Corner goals were scored with a dragflick.

Dragflicking is the most sought after specialist skill on a hockey field. There are very few people in the world who have mastered the skill, even fewer who have mastered teaching it.This site and presentation will break the dragflick down for you and show you exactly how it is done. From the footwork to the training exercises that are used for accuracy and repetition, this presentation will cover them all.

Warning! If you want to pursue this skill make sure you master the right technique before trying to flick the ball hard. If you use too much force with the wrong technique you can overstrain your muscles and tendons which can result in serious injuries. Besides, when using the proper technique not much force is needed to flick a ball hard and desception and accuracy are often much more effective that speed.
