That was my main complaint with the flags. If there was a collar at the top of the PVC tube that would tighten around the flag and hopefully hold it in, then it would be much better.

Of course, if it wouldn't come out from a ball hit, and instead took the hit and deflected the ball, then that would give teams the ability to strategically place the flag and give themselves a probably unfair height advantage when playing defense. So, who knows?
