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.
The position on the left is there for support/ for a deflection from the goalkeeper. He is an optional player, and can be switched for a backup for the first trapper. The first trapper needs to use a slight movement, so that it is not seen. The pass needs to be slightly inside the D. A good idea is to soften up the defence with a dragflick in the previous penalty corner, to soften them up. Make sure that penalty corner is flicked in the air, aiming for top left or right (or even middle left or right). This drill was made by a dragflicker who has scored successfully from penalty corners.
