Flick

Solution 1
A flick is a method for lifting the ball off the ground by making a rapid, controlled move with the stick. Unlike a hit, which normally keeps the ball on the ground, a flick pushes it into the air.
Solution 2
This technique is mainly used for taking penalty strokes. It is similar to a push, but the ball is lifted slightly off the ground at a low height. In hockey, the flick is an important skill in which a player raises the ball using the stick and then shoots or flicks it forward. Although it is commonly used for penalty shots, it is also very helpful during normal play. To learn the flick, a player should first ensure correct body positioning and then use proper body and stick movements to lift the ball and direct it in the desired direction.
