Question

When flick is used during a game?

Answer 1

1. A flick is used in hockey to lift the ball off the ground in a controlled manner. It is often seen during penalty shots, as the attacker tries to raise the ball into the goal to beat the umpire.
2. Players also use flicks to make vertical passes, throwing the ball over opponents to teammates and past defenders.
3. In tight conditions near the goal, a flick is an effective technique for lifting the ball over opponents or the goalkeeper in order to score.
4. It enables quick, accurate play in situations where holding the ball low may not be useful, especially when faced with tight defence.
