💡 There’s more than one way to drag flick…
Just because the ball doesn’t glide up and down the stick doesn’t mean it’s not a drag flick!
This version can add power — but it often sacrifices consistency and accuracy.
⚠️ I don’t coach it this way.
Why? Because brains beat brawn — and brains last longer too.

If you can drag the ball over distance, you can drag flick at goal.
I’ve seen players unlock it in minutes, not months.
The skill is already there.
The mindset just needs permission.

The longer you drag the ball, the more power you generate! 💥
Come up too early, and you cut the drag short — losing both power and control.
🎯 Accuracy comes from the follow-through — imagine rolling the ball to the trapper with your hand.
Be patient. Work hard. The results will come.
And remember… there’s no drag flicker without an injector! 💪🏑

I don’t believe you can be a world class drag flicker with just raw power.
You need deception and accuracy as well.
Practice dragging the ball on different lines and combine that with accuracy.
A keeper going in the wrong direction can’t save the ball!

Dragging back is a really important skill for you to be confident in. It creates space, holds possession and opens up opportunities.
Here are 3 skills to work on.
1. Simple drags back.
2. Drags back, adding in a look up and fake each drag.
3. Drags back, adding in a decision/movement. This decision/movement in a game would be a reaction to the opposition. It could be an another drag either side, a pass, a fake.
Great to build up to! SAVE so you can give a go next time you hit the turf.
