There is something fascinating about drag flicks; the technique, the transfer of energy, the hard work that goes into it, the injector and trapper... It's like trying to bowl leg spin when you're passed the ball on your run-up.

10 years on and I still watch this video to get pumped for games 😂

The guy @ 1:57 is really good, picking up the ball almost on his feet...FREAKING BRILLIANT!!!!

realllllly nice ....well done!!!

How could you leave out Sohail Abbas the best dragflicker of the ball in history.

You know what guys,i suppose this sport is actually kinda sweet I can't lie, much respect for all of you who play Sincerely: a lacrosse/hockey player

This tactic has become a way of ignoring the rules on the first shot at goal - dragflicks are often as fast or faster than a hit, yet the hit is limited to backboard height, the flick can be straight at your head and cause serious injury. There are several flicks on here that break the rule on dangerous play (currently 9.8 - Players must not play the ball dangerously or in a way which leads to dangerous play. A ball is considered dangerous when it causes legitimate evasive action by players).

Hey nice work dude!

Very good Video :)

cool vid!

hockey=best sport ever!!!!!!!

i agree! broke enough fingers in my 12 years of playing

i loveeee hockey field!!!!!!!

low in the bottom corners are the best cos if it doesnt go in youll hit a foot and get another short corner

i love this video

Video making fuxking amazing n awesome Like x 10000!!!

hockey is the best sport ever

Field Hockey > Ice Hockey

This is without a doubt "Canon in D" by Johann Pachelbel. Just in a more hopping style. And in that I mean "Non-Classical" Nice vid bruduh!

Oh, you got me!

drag flicking is real cool, i can never do it well though, i cant get enough speed, so im stuck with being the injector for now :')

its so different for me to watch this because where i live field hockey is a girl sport. (guys can play, but it would be odd) but its cool to see a different side to field hockey

Just have 5 minutes of Sohail Abbas flicking if you want "The best of Dragflicks"

lol i broke my nose and have broken ribs getting in the way of lifted shots on goal.... still love the sport though!!

the song is a outher version of canon rock

I love this music. What is it?

DK IS KING!!!!!!!!!!!

niceee

i wanna learn dragflicking!

scored a top courner one today againist the top school in the leage =)

@cshillam Even more so, having no talent in sport should help you appreciate it even more. I'm shit at every sport I've ever tried, and I think these drag flicks are actually sick, and to be honest, probably in the top 5 epic sports techniques.

It looks so easy but actually it's one of the most complicated Hockey skills! I can do it myself now after training for 2 years and still it's not so great. And of course HOCKEY is Tha BEST SPORT EVER!!!!!

wrist shot!

hey did u change the song for this vid? i liked the canon in d version better ):

first off: loving these comments. so funny ^_~ wish you knew how ridiculous everyone sounds haha ice hockey vs. field hockey! ooooOOOOooo frightening haha second: this makes me really wish we had actual field hockey turf, not the football turf we have to use

I'm starting to play field hockey on January - This is making me nervous !! Shit :D

@buttersbitch39 this is real hockey, and your hockey is a variation actually

@Slipknot5301 have u seen how close the ball gets to the defenders heads in this vid? field hockey is as dangerous as ice hockey

@TheDragflicker sorry folk but i think this videos is juz incomplete coz in my opinion without sohail Abbas any video abt drag flickers is incomlete peace..........!

great vid if only i could have skills like that whats the song

Taeke Taekema for the win!

@ 2:26 : thats style.

sorry folk's but i think this videos is juz incomplete coz in my opinion without sohail Abbas any video abt drag flickers is incomlete peace..........!

WKS Grunwald Poznań....My dad's team :)

wish I could dragflick. I'll settle as a stopper.... :(

what song is used in this??

@insho0o haha abbas was the guy who shot wide xD

I have a legit question, why don't players put their bodies in front of the ball to block it on its way to the net?

@Slipknot5301 Yeah course....... Tell that to a member of my hockey team who right now is sitting in hospital with 107 shards of fractured skull around his eye socket.

what's the name of this song?

The reason you picked up more injuries during field hockey is because in field hockey they were forced to put you in due to lack of players. (the injuries are from you being a girl, and being bad) Now in Rugby, the reason you didn't get hurt was, well you didn't leave the bench obviously.

@YoCazure Not many women dragflick and when this was made there were even less,

@rupertedmunds flid ?!

What rules mate? Dragflick?

song?

when will this rule be brought out?

@IndieApparatus all the personal insults really detract from your argument. I think what hes saying is that hockey is a much more physical game. I think what hes missing is that field hockey is more of a ...something sport. I think what Slipknot5301 is say is that hockey is a much more aggressive sport. Its like comparing (American) football to baseball and saying baseball players are pussies. It just doesn't make sense. Ones a physical sport and ones a precision sport.

@secutorclaudius and we need to know this why?

@henryneilson you're not allowed to block the ball with your body, weird

I would like to see anybody saying field hockey, or hockey isn't manly get a stick in the chops, a smack on the knuckles or the shins, or be in the way of a strike at goal. I picked up more injuries playing hockey than I did rugby even.

hockey or ice hockey* haha :P

Dont get me wrong i love hockey .. but doesnt anyone think drag flicks are dangerous for defenders??? it could kill someone!! anyone know why it is legal??

@jonohyatt11 Sorry mate you don't understand the rules. There is NO rule that says a shot on goal cannot be dangerous, the rules simply state that a shot on goal can be lifted at any height. If a player is forced to duck or move out of the way to avoid being hit, the rule says it's dangerous, FHD. I am aware this is ignored at high levels but a truely skillful player could score in the net without endangering any other player, as it is, they just expect a goal or a PS for their own carelessness

速すぎｗｗｗ

i think lacrosse is a little more manly...

@Randomthingsaboutme : just practice ur technique mate i managed to do it at 14 and my technique being good makes up for our physical make-up.

could do without the intro bit, too cheesy for my liking. nice that you bothered getting the good flicks outta the EHL footage tho (Y)

They all do the exact same perfect stick trap come on trap it ur self

Such a weird sport, I don't know how its related to hockey lol

these aren't drag flicks, they are short/penalty corners!

Sandeep Singh > all of the guys in this video

yes i have seen a game of football, ive played football its ok but it takes skill but with all the pauses everytime the ball is downed it becomes to long and boring. But it doesnt take anywhere as much skill as hockey.

@Ghbose Ducking out of the way

Why are there always no girls ? They are pretty good too

um how about the male hockey teams competing in the olympics?

haha it was sarcasm that rugby's like football there completely different sports only sharing two things in common big hits and a egg shaped ball. Have you even played field hockey before?

whys this video got gay music now : \ killed the video man

Because in some places in the world that's all it is. Just sayin theres a reason for ignorance

Anyone who thinks hockey is a girls sport is clearly stupid just because it isn't as televised as football or rugby doesn't mean it is a girls sport. Football is much more girly than hockey they way they all spend most of the game on the floor yelling foul or if they score they do a massive pointless celebration. in hockey u can't stay on the floor long or u get hit u also don't celebrate goals as much ur still happy but u want to continue the game. So if ur gonna talk about how wimpy hockey is

I thought this sport was made only for girls. Guess I was wrong :D

Yeah the problem with all that is that ice hockey is real hockey, field hockey is a girls' activity, and not everyone in the world speaks english and even if they fucking did i still wouldn't make it correct. Football is a real sport because it combines extensive strategy with extreme physicality. Field hockey isn't a sport for the same reason girls lacrosse isn't

No not all the world speaks English but even in other languages this is still called hockey. Ice hockey is only a man sport because they get into fights right. Yep adzactly people who play hockey are gentleman and not complete idiots. Have you ever heard of the great sport of rugby its like football apart from being a mans game and we don't wear pads or helmets amazing rite :O For hockey being a sport, if its in the Olympics its a sport so yes ice hockey a sport but football i don't think so.

Gay... ice hockey ftw

ok 24th gayest but no. 1 dumbest. imokaywithis.jpeg

Let me see.. 22 highly motivated and super fit athletes with weapons in their hands.. Yes, I can see that Field Hockey is a woman's sport. I guess you like your women in the shape of amazons do you PeeWee?

Why can't Americans call Field Hockey, just Hockey and why do Americans call Ice Hockey, just Hockey? How about we both call it Ice Hockey and Field Hockey!

Why dont you ice hockey fanboys go and dragflick in your so called male sport and watch some videos on it :P

findings easy there is what is it 14 teams here there all male i'm in a all male hockey team. your just upset the u.s 24 in the world and that's MENS ranking.

@Callanderlongboards1 learn how to skate!

Are u kidding me?! Its most defnitly not an all women sport! Lots of people gets seriously injured playing hockey!

It's like 20 seconds between plays? You can't wait that long you have an issue. Besides, almost all of those european sports go longer tan that without being interesting, especially rugby league and soccer. Oh look the ball went out, let's stand around and get ready to throw someone up in the air. Why the fuck are you throwing someone up in the air in the first place???. You've played football? In New Zealand?

ok i don't like soccer either its boring and a real girls sport. To be honest i'm not sure why we lift people up. English rugby league is boring but NZ and Australian league aren't boring. Yes i have played football the Polynesian's love it because of there size and there speed.

rubbish they wont get rid of the drag flick! it plays a too bigger part! your probably just part of a crappy side full of od timers!

Haha there is a lot more skill in ice hockey buddy

*yawn* what a boring sport, good video tho

lol field hockey is a womens sport

Lol ice hockey better lol what a joke there is no skill in ice hockey compared to field hockey ;) bring it ice hockey fanboys

Except eggs don't have points on them.... Why would I play a girls' sport? Good luck finding a male field hockey team lol. Ice hockey is so much better than this

lol stop calling it hockey, it's FIELD hockey. Hockey is played on ice by men. Field hockey /watch?v=LE6-_1euAyg /watch?v=WuVbXFKxylQ Ice hockey /watch?v=N1-25s4uwFQ /watch?v=iIlLbJHKw8M

Oh so now europe's the world? But yeah, keep telling yourself they all speak english and call the activity by it's english name. Girls play field hockey, why the fuck would I play a girl's 'sport'? Every american plays soccer--until they're 10 or 11 where they switch to real sports. You're denying men's sport is better than women's?
