Hi Don,

You can lift the drag flick in the air without it being called dangerous. This is why when you watch the top internationals you will often see them finding the top corners.

There are instances when lifting will become an issue however. If the charging defender is within 5 yards, and the ball hits this defender above the knee, the ball is considered dangerous and a free hit to the defensive team will be given.

Hope this clears up your issue,

Josh
