As a defender facing drag flicks, I tell you the real threat comes not from the stick bow alone but the flicker's ability to hide the release point with a swift body rotation and a low initial ball position. The height rule is for the umpire to watch; for me, it's the sudden change in trajectory from that whipped, rising shot that beats the goalkeeper. Every Sunday practice in Panaji, facing my cousin's wicked flick, teaches me the bow just gives speed, but the deception is all in the wrists and that final snap.
