Question
When flick is used during a game?
Answer in Brief
Solution
- 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.
- Players also use flicks to make vertical passes, throwing the ball over opponents to teammates and past defenders.
- 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.
- It enables quick, accurate play in situations where holding the ball low may not be useful, especially when faced with tight defence.
