drag flicking points

Main drag flicking pointsDerek Pappas

The path of the ball during the drag flick

• The ball travels in a straight line towards the target. During training put a piece of tape on the ground along the line that the ball should travel towards the goal

• The end of the stick does not travel down a straight line since the stick is extended past the ball during the drag phase and the ball in effect “rolls” up the face of the stick

3 Steps to the ball• 1 short so that the flicker can make an

adjustment when the ball is pushed

• A normal step

• Then a step with the right foot so that the right foot is parallel to the baseline to begin the 45 degree turn right

• Then a step with the left foot parallel to the ball

The right step before the ball

• When the player steps with the right foot 90% weight should be on the right foot. The player must lean a little to their right to get their head over the right foot. The player explodes off of their right foot to create momentum into the circle.

• Why? The player MUST push off of the right foot behind the left foot. This is a rotation to the left of the running line. The direction of the run is changed 45 degrees or less to the left.

2. Body rotates right to set up the crossover.

Right foot foot parallel to the baseline.

foot. Both knees bent 90

degrees. 5. Big step towards the ball but not too big

6. Left foot rotates left and the right foot rotates around left foot along with the body, which routes 180

degrees to the left. The body ends up facing away from the line of the

Think about a circle. The left foot is at the center of the circle.

Drag flick stick rotation on the follow through

During the follow through the stick rotates around the center of the circle.

Left hand touching the bottom of the right forearm

• At ball pickup the top of the left hand should touching the bottom of the right forearm

• The left hand should not touch the front of the right forearm

Approach the ball with the stick on the ground

• The stick should be at or near an angle of 45 degrees to the ground

Ball pickup stick and body position

• The stick should be at or near an angle of 45 degrees to the ground and 45 degrees to the baseline

• The right forearm and stick form a straight line

• The face of the stick is 45 degrees to the baseline

• Left hand is rotated left

Right foot next to the ball• Then a big cross over step

• bend the left and right knees up to 90 degrees

• Create a spring to push off

• step behind the left foot

• Keep the body and head moving down the line during and after the cross over

Head level

• The head should be level during the drag flick and not moving up and down

• Use a stick to make the flicker get lower

Big left step

• Use the spring created in the right leg (by bending the right knee 90 degrees during the crossover step a spring is created) to push off and make a big step to the left

• Point the left foot at the target, perpendicular to the baseline

Right hand moves towards the ground when the big left step is initiated after the

crossover step

The hands travel down at an angle and then up prior to release to lift the ball

• After the ball pickup the right hand drops down

• After the the hands continue to drop down

The stick is angled down/rotated left after the hands drop down

Hands pull back/push forwards before the release

• The right and left hands must pull against each other and the stick must be angled to the right of the target prior to the release

• There should be tension in the hands and arms

• This motion sets up the release for the drag flick

The shoulder rotation to the right is maintained up to the release

• Top drag flickers have their left shoulder lower than their right shoulder during the drag phase, up to the release

The left shoulder is near the left knee at release

• Right forearm is near to parallel to the ground

• Right wrist is cocked 90 degrees to the stick waiting for the release

Rotate the body after release

• After the release of the ball and the rotation of the body, stick, … the feet should rotate 180 degrees to prevent any injuries and to continue the rotation

down by stage

Breakdown Drills

• Breaking down the drag flick into its various components allows the player to work on specific aspects of the drag flick

Setup for practice

• Cones diagonal outside the top of the D

• A line on the ground perpendicular to the baseline (tape)

• Mark the spots for the steps and ball with a small X (5 cm’s long) made with tape

Practice steps prior to ball pickup

Practice movement from ball pickup to the release point

Rolling the stock forwards over the ball and compressing the ball into the ground

Continuing to compress the ball into the ground during the drag

Point to stop the ball at the top of the circle

• Case 1: Aligned with the left post

• Fake right and drag low left : make the keeper commit

• Fake left and drag high right : make the keeper commit

• Case 2: 1-1.5 yards left of the line from the left post

Points to stop the injection Just inside the left and right posts
