Why Invest in a Specialised Drag Flicking Stick?
Mastering the drag flick can transform your game, particularly during crucial penalty corner situations where precision and power make all the difference. Our collection of concave drag flicking sticks has been carefully curated to offer options for every skill level, from club players to elite performers. These specialised sticks are engineered with unique face profiles that enhance ball control during the dragging phase, allowing for more effective energy transfer and ultimately resulting in more powerful and accurate shots. Unlike standard hockey sticks from our adult hockey sticks collection, these models feature strategic weight distribution and reinforced construction specifically designed to optimise the biomechanics of the drag flicking motion, giving you a significant advantage during set pieces.
Expert Tips for Choosing Your Drag Flicking Stick
When selecting your ideal stick, consider these key factors:
- Bow Shape: More extreme bows offer better ball lift, while mid-bows balance control and lift. Our ultra-late bow hockey sticks are preferred by penalty corner specialists for maximum elevation and power, whilst late bow hockey sticks provide excellent versatility for all-round attackers.
- Materials: Carbon-reinforced models provide optimum power and durability. Higher carbon percentages (90-95%) offer exceptional power transfer but require more skill, while intermediate models (70-85%) provide a more forgiving feel similar to our pro bow hockey sticks.
- Handle Shape: Thinner handles enhance wrist rotation during drag flicking. Some advanced models feature ergonomic designs for improved grip and control, which can be further enhanced with products from our stick grips & tape collection.
- Weight: Balanced sticks help maintain control throughout the flicking motion. Consider how the stick’s weight distribution complements your strength and style. For optimal control and protection during intensive drag flicking practice, pair your stick with quality hockey gloves.
