Once you have practiced the basic technique of the net flick, you can try and develop deception in the shot.

Have a partner hand feed shuttles to you in the forecourt area: step in and play alternate net shots and net flicks.

To develop the deception you will need to present a net shot and as late as possible flick the wrist.

The longer you can hold the net shot racket position, the more deceptive your net flick will be. Don’t forget to practice cross-court flicks as well as straight ones.
