So, i have 2700+ hours.. honestly, didn't realize how many mechanics were in this game...I decided to start looking in the rabbit hole of possibilities and it's been quite overwhelming. Watching tutorials, RE-watching tutorials, not understanding, RE-watching tutorials, finding new ones and NOTHING was working. Something wasn't clicking with the air rolls.. the control.. the joystick movement.. I'm not quite sure why it took so long to click, so many failed attempts. HOURS of trying to get it. Maybe I'm slow ?? I know my grammar is terrible, but do I not pick up on things well ? either way.. the way YOU explained it. the way YOU broke it down. FLAWLESS and makes me very upset that this doesn't have another 975,000 views. at least. Clearly others were able to pick up on things easily (not being as young as some of these folks) who may be able to even just learn visually without instruction. There's just something with the way you explained things where it clicked. the feeling was incredible when I realized it wasn't a fluke that I actually connected 3 times air rolling, tornado spinning and finishing it off with a quick plan for a double tap. Watched my replay 30 times and now I'm almost getting consistent. BEFORE I end this absolute worship to your teaching skills.. I gotta say man. 2700 hours, zero progress in the air. Maybe a max of 5 hours of free play and customs with your tutorials and everything is starting to make sense. the game is actually fun again, point is. Thanks man. you really made this game worth playing for me. I was ready to give up. Thanks for breaking things down for this old fart. (P.S i subbed at your highest level). Can't thank you enough. Keep it real bro, i can feel it. those subs gonna start BOOMIN soon

Little edit to add another thought that came to mind while reading other comments: I didn't even realize the fact that you should boost to follow the direction you want to follow and I was training while holding boost throughout the movement which obviously doesn't make much sense... These days I was just training flying around the map with my car turned 180º (seeing the bottom of the car) to get used to "reverse" controls, and I felt like I was getting nowhere with that....

been 2 hours, my brain connections appear to be broken edit: LOL it clicked 5 minutes after, i used to look at my car's rear everytime, so controlling the boost direction was harder for me, as soon as i started looking at the car's front, the direction changes were immediate to understand

As a long time player who's hit SSL and used directional air roll for about 4 years, this video was an excellent break down. Another great tip for the rings maps is when you get comfortable and you're focusing on speed, pay attention to where your nose is pointing. Once you're on track to pass through one ring, be looking ahead and get ready to point your nose towards the center of the next ring. This is where directional air roll shines, because once you've mastered it it is much easier to pitch your nose up and down while maintaining speed as opposed to trying to do the same with free air roll.

Do you think you could look at my gameplay and help me it's just not clicking for me. I'm currently c3 but can't do nearly as complex things as all my team8s in the air

This has to be the best rocket league coaching video by far. They way you describe it makes it all make sense. Im definitely do this all day.

You had me in the first 30 seconds. Every guide I've seen so fair seems to jump from practicing without air roll to just doing it while spinning, with no explanation of how to actually control the car. I was sick of flailing about learning nothing so I've been searching for hours and I finally found THIS video. I think you did a great job breaking it down, and I feel like I finally have something I can practice rather than random flailing.

I wish this video was out when I was learning air roll. I already know air roll left, so as an experiment I decided to try out what you recommend here. Since I already know air roll left, I figured I'd use this as a quick review. I learned I have a weakness in control of the reverse tornado spin, as well as flying while angled to the side. I ironed those out, as well as doing some review on the rest, and I swear; doing this for about 2-3 hours total in the past two days has completely revolutionized my aerial car control. I recommend this to ANYONE, not only people first learning it. I'm gonna keep using this to strengthen my control, and I'm gonna use it to learn air roll right in the future so I may edit this comment for an update. Either way, though, if you wanna learn rocket league mechs quick I recommend subbing this to guy asap. The few tutorials he has out are easily the most concise and informative tutorials I've seen on the topics he's chosen. I wish you to the moon.

I always knew and heard Up/Right to go Right, Down/Right to go left "You're gonna suck but just keep practicing". Man last night! I spent 40 minutes playing with understanding the touches and directions and had the EXACT same video idea. I was excited to see someone had the same realization I did. Now I am not good at it but I am starting to get it, that matters more to me then "You will suck but push through". Anyway....Good video man!

Hey man! Saw this tutorial a while back when it first came out and I saved it. Unfortunately, whenever I have free time, I never dedicate it to training, but rather just playing in comp. I am a C1/D3 that has only been using the manual air roll key bind, and I make out okay with it. Well after having internet trouble and deciding to go into training, I can say this tutorial is amazing. For context, I only dedicated 30 mins towards the air roll turning using only one direction and I already have an insane amount of progress. I can now understand how to reliably control the direction of my car, although I have moments of blanking. I played a rings map I downloaded a long time ago, but could never get more than a few dozen rings, and now am almost able to complete half of the map. I imagine with a couple weeks of practice, I may be able to firmly learn air control! Thank you so much for you video!!! PS: I found that when air rolling to either side, look at the wheel opposite wheel. So if you air roll right, monitor the left front wheel. To turn a certain direction, start pulling when the wheel is almost directly across from where you choose to aim.

Im so glad I found this video, till now Ive had a misconception that putting ur stick this way or that way while directional air rolling meant left or right, but after testing out going round in circles of the ball using all 4 diagonal directions while air rolling ive learnt, it doesnt matter which direction u use for the direction you want to go, but how you want to go in that direction will be which way you decide to push the stick

Had to come back to say thanks for making this. This video single handedly pushed me other the edge to learn directional air roll. I knew that it would be game changing and being c3 without it was challenging because it felt like everyone else up there could. But here I am, 6 hours of training and a week later and I can feel the consistency building. I've been tracking my progress through your air dribble challenge back and Leth's neon heights and seeing the progress day by day is everything. Day 1 I only got to level 4 with 464 deaths in an hour, yet today not only did I get through level 6 in under 2 minutes without deaths, but finished on 17 with 148. To anyone whos on the fence about learning it: Do it. It suuuucks at the beginning, but it is so worth it. The joy you get when you clip a ring but habitually correct it back to a controllable state is everything. So thanks for making this and good luck to everyone else, I can't wait to see where I'll be at in a month.

I've been trying to learn air roll left for a few months now (on and off). I can hover around but the biggest stuggle I have is when I have to airroll and also hit the ball. I will definetely try this strategy. Great video!

Okay, so I am actually so damn stoked to have found this video, cause as a champ who has seemingly no mech, and not too many many people to play with that can help teach me as time goes on, I now have a direction (no pun intended) to go to practice more meaningfully than just flailing around like a toddler who got denied his McDonalds.

I'm back to update on my progress, having watched this video approximately 2 weeks ago. My aerial control is still a bit rocky, but the examples at the start showing 1 week of progress are no joke. I spend probably less than an hour each day on average practicing this, and I went from spiraling out of control every time I try to being able to reach level 12 of the neon heights rings map in 10 minutes while holding ARL.

As I didn't quite catch it in the video, here's a huge tip that helped me out a lot. When you try to only move using the one stick direction mentioned in this video, you can easily decide whether you want to go right or left by moving the stick depending on whether you see the front or back of the car. If you move the stick when you see the front of the car, you will fly to the right. (bottom right with left air roll and bottom left with right air roll) If you move the stick when you see the back of the car, you will fly to the left. (bottom right with left air roll and bottom left with right air roll) This observation was very crucial to me, so I hope this helps some who still struggle.

Finally, an aerial tutorial I actually learn from 🤩

what "clicked" for me: 1). Doing 1 input (push to top diagonal right)- every time my car was facing me in the upright position (hence you will move to the right) 2). Repeat the SAME input when your car is in the reverse position (not facing you)- and it will CORRECT to its original orientation or position I just kept doing repetitions on this over & over again. This was huge for me as I realized i could do both directional air roll AND correctional air roll with ONLY ONE input! I was able to do the rings map with just this 1 input alone. Felt like I had a super power! Now i'm adding the "other inputs" one by one (putting in the repetitions) until I am comfortable with'em until I achieve full car control. Weeeeeee!

This in the only video Ive seen that doesnt jump from explaining how to turn left and right with directional air roll directly to "spin around this map". Great explanation on getting to understand how to start.

600h - D2 This singular exercice helped me with one thing: it makes you learn part of the skill with a variable less. You don't have to think about what direction your left Jowstick goes, just when. And that was amazing. I figured out some stuff while training, and it was how to combine some left stick diagonal left (i am DAR right not left) when the car is facing me and boosting at the same time to go right and when the care is facing down and boosting for the left. But this is just for me and i'm still learning, I just wanna show that taking the time to understand how your car react to aa combination of boost and left joystick is amazing.

I'm KBM player and this tutorial made sense, even to my slowpoke brains without controller. Kudos! Still learning though, but I'm already seeing some progress!

This is basically the way I learned it and guys.. It‘s for sure the most efficient way and the funniest part is how you can improve while playing rank matches! Like for real, I only used the tornado spin and I didn‘t even realize how much I improved until I accidentally started to start every aerial dribbles with air roll. (I really didn‘t even notice that I did that until I saw the replay). It will help your mechanics a lot! Wish you all good luck and don‘t forget to actually play the game so that the training part doesn‘t blow your mind

All the OG's from the early season learned everything air control wise from Kevpert the goat of tutorials, that was how I personally mastered air rolling with free air roll. Switching to DAR was never hard for me but maybe that's because I already had free air roll mastered for years, this approach to it is definitely different than how I did it but is very accurate. After watching this I wanted to test my dar and see if I could move just like that with only 1 movement option and was able to do it naturally without thinking, so you are definitely correct that people who master DAR learn how to do that without being able to explain it. Hopefully people find this tutorial before doing what most of us did which is just winging it forever.

This is the kind of tutorial i was looking for! Thanks for breaking it down to us, I'll try asap and let u know how it goes

Instantly subbed. This video and your speed flip explanation are outstanding. I've watched countless tutorials trying to learn necessary mechanics to rank up from D3 into Champ, and your videos are hands down the most thorough, and easily digestible. I've only just now found your channel, and haven't had a chance to deep dive yet, but if you don't already have a video on rotations, and how to adjust and compensate for teammates who DON'T follow rotations for both 2's and 3's, that would be helpful as well. I find myself always playing too cautiously because I can't depend on random teammates to rotate, so we either get scored on a wide open net because someone didn't rotate out, or I'm essentially playing goalie all game. I want to break that habit and learn to read the field better, if that makes sense. Thanks again for your work and ability to break things down so eloquently. Keep up the great work!

First off - Just to corroborate the notion everyone here is making, this is by far the best video to learn this mechanic. It shines where most of the others fail miserably: Education. It really helped, and is still helping me to improve my game. That said, I am here to point out some aspects where I think it could improve. Along the way in my training i got stuck in some points that i think could be solved with some adjustments to your content. First, there´s a part in the video where you show some other player saying that "you should move your analog stick a lot" and you say thats a misconception, which led me to try to move it less, or only when I needed it during the air roll. That was not working for me, and looking at your overlay it´s clear that you move it very frequently, I imagine the misconception is in regards to variation of movement, moving it in a lot of directions which goes against the core of your training to start one direction at a time. But the importante of micro, frequent movements is not clearly shown in your video, and it is (in my perspective) a key aspect to make this work, and when I figured this out it changed the training for me. Of course one could see that in your overlay, but seeing how you are so carefull in the way you explain your content, I thought you would like this feedback. Include a part in the video about micro adjustments, i think people will get even better and faster results. All that said, the video is already great, just trying to help, i have some other insights, but this is the main one. Sorry if some of my writing is off, english is not my first language. Thanks again for these videos!

Thank you and you're most welcome! I'm glad this is helping people as much as it helped me.

Been trying to understand air roll on and off again for 2 years, and I just felt completely capped out. I had the mappings of how to move in different directions when the top of the car was facing me, but I just did not have the intuition of how to do _anything_ when the car wasn't facing me. It felt like this completely impenetrable thing -- like how can you possibly know what direction to press and when to boost in the seemingly infinite orientations your car might be in that are not just "mostly upright but pointed kinda forwards." I would watch videos with people's inputs on and see them boost and directional input at what felt like completely uniques times, I couldn't figure out any "rules" that would give me a foothold in how to improve. Then I saw this video... Thank you so incredibly much for taking the time to make this. My first day trying to follow your instruction I mostly flailed around, but felt like I was learning _something_. I could start to see how it would be possible to fly around just using one input. The second day I had the realization that I could use bakkes to slow down to like 0.25x speed and see where the nose goes based on when you add the directional input, and that felt like a complete revelation. I then switched to 0.5x speed and managed to fly around for quarter and half laps, and then a full lap. Then I switched to 1x speed and it took like 5 minutes, but the things I learned slowed down kicked in and I could start to see when I needed to directional input and boost. Now is day 3 and I'm able to sometimes do full laps on pillars with the one directional input. When I push the control stick I know what direction I'm going to go in (mostly), and that is just one of the best feelings I've ever had in rocket league. I can't wait to get consistent with this and learn more directions. For anyone that happens to see this comment and feels like they could use clearer "rules" as a foothold for how to build this intuition, I wrote this note for myself last night (I use air roll right): Vids generally try to teach air roll by learning the directions your car goes if staring straight at flat top of car (up diag left = left, down diag left = right, left=up, no clear forward/back) would instead be helpful to start with one dir, and learn timings/spacings for component pieces (e.g. for up diag left: flat top + one quarter rotation of boost [oqrob] = left, halfway to backside + oqrob = forward, backside + oqrob = right, halfway to flattop + oqrob = backward) for up diag left, can conceptualize as the nose being kinda pushed towards where the right wheel is headed for that quarter rotation (once I realized this, it was the most massive "click" I've had with all of this)

I would follow you into hell. Of the countless air roll tutorials I've watched, yours is the only that broke the technique down in to its lowest term. I'm finally dialed in on it. You deserve a Grammy.

Great video I’m gonna be editing this comment with what day I am on and how much progress I’ve made Day 1 1 hour of training, can stay in the air for 10 seconds but eventually fall and can make half a circle 25% of the time Day 2 1 hour of training went into a private match with slo mo, best thing ever helped me so much with awkward angles and can stay up for a minute Day 3 1 hour of rings 2 can make it to level 6 Day 4 45 mins of training more of the same Day 5 30 mins of training got really sick and just doing airdribbles to get better Day 6-11 1 hour of training, was busy and unmotivated just going for wall and ground air dribbles, don’t know how to train air roll though Day 12 1 hour of training I hate this mechanic but I beat rings 2 for the first time in around 20-25 mins Day 13-18 30 mins a day just doing airdribbles from wall and ground also did some aerial training packs and have become pretty consistent at air roll air dribbles and aerial shots Day 19 1 hour of training, it clicked for me today and now I understand how my car works with air roll, I feel like the learning journey is done, now it is just time to master this mechanic Day 28- finally using it in game and can air dribble and flip reset with it Tips that I recommend Once you are really comfortable with spinning across the map, start trying airdribbles if you are bored and pass the ball to yourself and pop it up and try to follow the ball do this at least 5 mins each day it will get easier trust me Good luck with air roll y’all let’s all start spinning!

Came back to say I’m so stoked to read this! I’m excited to took this journey and shared it with us. I too have been grinding and refining. Lots of little tips and tricks to develop as you work on it for sure. I’m going to do a video on flip resets soonish and one of the biggest tips I will give for that is spend as much time as you can just popping the ball of the wall as straight as you can and fly/steer the car upside down. When you grind this, you’ll be able to get resets far more often because you won’t need to have a “perfect” setup to get them.

@@zebatronn what’s your next journey? I have some video ideas and I’m curious if they align.

wow I don't think I would ever be saying anything like this on a KZread vid but man you explained that perfectly. I have over 15+ days just in game playing been hard stuck d3 I came upon this vid and I watched it fully I have used air roll right the whole time and one thing that I learned from one of my buddy's was to always move your left stick to change the direction of the car and he said that would be the main thing to work on and of course because he was way better than me I listened to him. the first two or so minutes of you explaining things and I started to understand it more I hopped into training right after I watched this vid and did some shots I always had problems with and boom got them with no problems. thank you for this vid and hopefully you can continue your teaching skills and grow your channel to have an even bigger audience.

I just came back to this video to say that you are, unequivocally, the best Rocket League KZread explainer on the platform. I feel so cheated by the videos that originally taught me air roll, as they made it so you can only adjust with the hood facing you. You mention these videos in your video, so I'm sure you know the offenders I'm talking about, but I'm just realizing truth watching your videos how a lot of these big creators just serve up garbage information. Your information about turning any direction with one stick adjustment is golden. I'm having to go backwards with regards to my air roll to learn this the right way, but it will be so worth it, as these other dudes have had me hobbled, which I can now see, as being able to adjust when you car is only in one position has proven to be worthless for anything other than rings. I just want you to know i appreciate the work that goes into making these, and that you have a fan in me. I hope you're well.

Only 7.4k? Glad I found this goldmine. Best tutorial I’ve seen. Less than 30 minutes practicing, and by far the best results I’ve seen. Been wanting to learn this for 2-3 years, always given up because I just couldn’t grasp it. This is the key. Thank you good sir!

Honestly if you are silver 2 you might want to consider trying to improve the basics first like power shots, aerial and ground play, before you learn how to air roll, but if you're already getting the hang of it then it's ok I guess

Great tutorial, but I'd like to say that saying you were only using down and to the right can be a little misleading, you were using the down right quadrant to be exact and the minor differences of degrees you pull towards in that quadrant alone is important as it can be the difference between successfully orienting your car or failure. With that being said, your point still stays.

@Grifflicious

Жыл бұрын

You're totally right. There are some slight nuances to that specific directional quadrant but for all intents and purposes, when I think about where I'm putting my stick, it's in that direction so that's what made it the easiest cardinal direction to explain. To that point though, there are times I totally push it almost 90 degrees to the right when doing this drill but in any case, I'm still primarily staying within that zone. Truth be told, it even took me a minute to record that section since I've learned to use the whole stick lol. I sorta had to fight off my instincts I've created since learning this whole mechanic.

this explanation is incredible. Thank you so much man. C3 with pretty basic air mechanics but at a plateau now. Hopefully this helps on the road to GC and beyond. always been a goal of mine since I started playing

I have been trying to learn directional air roll for around couple months now and could never build "muscle memory" because I didn't have the foundation to build on.

Love it!

I actually learned default air roll this way. Breaking down my practice to having ball cam on and trying to fly around the big center white circle(someone else's idea). However, I broke it down to only spinning left and down for a few minutes, then reverse then right and down. Would change the direction I fly around the ball practicing both ways as well. Later adding in only allowing myself to hold forward and left or forward and right. It is mainly about looking at the back of your car and knowing when you can hold down again once the back of your car is at the correct orientation, same for forward stuff. Main change I did on the pillars map is fly around the tiny center circle. I found it helped me fail quicker and have to be tighter with my controls. Definitely recommend trying to learn these techniques using ball cam first, then use that new car awareness on certain airial pass/shot/wall drills later. Time for me to finally learn air roll right lol. Edit: Before SSL was added I was C3 in 2s. I stopped playing shortly after SSL due to my buddy being busy. A few years later, I think I want to start practicing just for fun in freeplay. Maybe be a 1s main after that haha. Thanks for the tips about down and to an angle for general flying. Usually most people just talk about holding left, then holding forward for wall to air dribble stuff.

My friend recommended me this tutorial abd I gotta say, this is the best tutorial I've ever seen in my time I played Rocket league

this video is a bomb! I'll tried so much, this is the first time, i get control over that damn car getting crazy while spinnin' :D :D Thanks Griff. Awesome!

It’s crazy cause I use to watch a lot of vids on air roll & they all said the same thing. One day I see someone playing and I finally noticed he was only moving his stick when the body of the car was facing him during the air roll. That’s what you just explained and it’s 💯% true. Thank you for this video!

ive been trying to do this for 2 weeks with 0 progress and this video gave me the info to make more progress in the past hour than i have in 2 weeks

2nd comment today on this video. Gave this technique a try and it's changed my whole perspective on directional air roll. Identified huge gaps in my abilities after how I've been learning this until now. Basically, I've been hyper dependent on one or two joystick directions without even realizing. This will be a game changer in a week.

Something about the way you explained it made it click for me as well. A good tip for people learning, do not skip out of flying in every direction at every angle (without air rolling). The thing that helped me the most was first memorizing where down or pulling your car back/up is. The rest of the movements will come more natural after knowing this. I actually learned how to air roll before learning to fly upside down or on my sides but I was missing something. Now that i am comfortable flying in any direction I have way more control over air roling. Do not skip flying straight up or down with an almost vertical camera angle.

Awesome tutorial! Well explained and now I feel confident to start using directional air roll as my daily driver (get it XD) I watched a video like this years back (like 2016) where a guy explained the basic fundamentals of aerial control to such a small degree it was immediately digestable and I was finally able to start practicing aerials from the ground and walls. This will now get me out of champ as I always black out and don't use directional air roll to recover in the air like so many pros do. GGs

After reaching GC1 last season, I realized, Directional Air Roll is the next thing to learn, but damn, I avoided it so hard. Seeing this video gave me confidence though and I really improved within the first ten minutes. Way more than in countless random rounds of Rings - thank you Griff, you are a Rocket League treasure!

Dude, THANK YOU. I can't tell you how many videos i've watched tyring to get help with this. This made it simple and easy and informative, instead of watching a 15 min video that essentially says, just says "jump into free play and rings and figure it out." Insta Sub.

I have started recently to learn this mechanich. I honestly found this video and all of your content really helpful and meaningful. Your work is amazing! So I've been traning for almost a week now focusiong only on one input (down left) and feel like I can control but imprecisely. I can make it turn and someway get the front of the car up when it get too down and viceversa but I need some room to do this as it's not that sharp of a movement. I was looking on the comments seeking for some extra tips or people in a similar point as me as I'm not sure if I should already start with another input direction or keep improving this one but found you're working on a new video on the topic to expand this one. Honestly, can't wait for you to bring it to light!!! I'll keep working on it meanwhile :)
