The aims of this paper are to examine the application of performance indicators the Skill of Ball hitting by the Flat Face of the Stick in Field Hockey. Sample of the research consisted of 4 female players from the Egyptian Field Hockey National Team, as each player performed 2 attempts to improve the skill of hitting the ball by the flat face of the field hockey stick. As such, the number of trials that were subject to analysis was 8 trials. Results were as follows: (a) the left hand is the main factor in holding the stick in the hockey game, which in turns affects the performance of the basic skills especially the skill of hitting with the flat face. (b) The spin-off velocity of the stick handle increases it leads to the occurrence of two things: first, the collision of the stick will be from the upper half of the ball which affects ball not going high from the ground at the spot of the collision of the ball with the stick. Second, the location of the collision will expand over the flat face of the stick and not at the curved area, which in turns affects the ball not going high to form a risk and a foul, which affects the velocity of the ball at aiming. (c) The value of the angle of the elbow decreases, the stick height gets up, which is regarded as a legal error.
