  The Flicka is so much fun! It is relatively easy to use and you can become fairly proficient after a session or two. I feel that the most impressive feature of the stick is the way that it is effective at any speed. I am able to lift the ball fairly slowly and accurately in order to train with lower level keepers and then ramp the speed all the way up to eleven when I train my National League keeper. The stick is well made and as its made of wood, Im sure it will give me many years of use unlike my Obo Fatboy stick which lasted three months before shattering so maybe Obo have improved their quality control. Like any hockey skill, you need to keep practicing in order to get the best out f the stick. Most people will be able to lift the ball within 5 minutes and then build it up to being able to hook the ball high and wide to the left after another 10 minutes. This skill with this stick is being able to flick to the right and you need to learn to open your shoulder and make a deliberate rotation to your right to get it to go that way. Once youve got this skill sorted, youll be having great fun with the keepers you train. As with my other reviews of the Obo training equipment, I recommend that you have a look at their YouTube uploads to see how to get best use out of the equipment youtube.com/user/obogoalkeeping When I first got my hands on the Flicka I hadnt quite got the technique right and thanks to YouTube and my iPhone I was able to watch the video and repeat the action easy! I highly recommend this stick for coaches of all abilities and coaching keepers of all abilities and out of the three Obo Training products would rate this as my number one purchase, followed by the Deflecta.jonathan, lichfieldWas this review helpful to you?yes no
