Dummy flick, slip right, deflect at the left post

Attack · left side · Senior · updated 9 Nov 2026

Same shape and same defence as the drag flick. The flicker sells the flick, slips right to the second hitter, who slaps low across the face of goal for D1 to deflect at the left post. Use it once their runner starts cheating left.
