This field hockey play was used by Australia in one of their international matches. The ball is pushed out to the top of the D, where the ball is then trapped. A fake dragflicker runs through and "fake dragflicks". The trapper uses a slight movement to then pass it to the right, where it is trapped. A dragflick or slap hit is used to send it to the post, where it is deflected in.
This drill was made by a dragflicker who has scored successfully from penalty corners.
