The TRUTH About Directional Air Roll | Learn to Play Rocket League

[@agoddamndelight3278]

I've watched hundreds of hours of tutorials for this dumb game and this is the first truly cohesive explanation of why and when to use air roll that makes sense to me. So many others just say "make adjustments." It's not often I get excited to open up a training pack... well done.

[@RoddieH]

I've the same feeling - I'm sure I've watched 99% of the DAR videos out there and Griff's last video has been my guide recently. This one definitely clears things up for me and gives me very specific, very tangible things to think about as I practice. The only negative thing I have to say is that I'm traveling this week so I won't be able to put this into practice until I'm home next week. 🙂 I'm super excited about the training pack - Looking forward to getting comfortable with it and then tackling part 2!!

Best air roll tutorial I've seen by far. Advanced players (the teachers/video makers) often forget when teaching a new technique how it felt to learn with zero experience and knowledge. The way you break down the training and pack starting as simple as possible is extremely useful. Progression of skill application and difficulty is absolutely key. Hopping in and jumping straight into a wall-to-air dribble pack is overwhelming and super inefficient to practice. Thanks for the tips!

[@professordraxon3982]

I love someone who is willing to teach something that they themselves have not mastered yet, its like "here this is what my brain has figured out" delivered in the best word choice ive ever heard from any video trying to teach something, its not through spagetti at a wall and see what sticks type of method. this is showing people to slow down the game is not that fast paced even tho it is fast paced we take it faster than necessary

[@JellySlays]

Update. After training up to 48% for a couple hours Making sure I score consistently for every shot to move on. I can confidently say it all makes sense now. I feel so enlightened. I was able to figure out shots you didn't go over because the ones you did went a long way. I was pulling out car control I didn't know I had or could achieve. Thank you man. Can't wait for part 2 for further training and knowledge!

@@Grifflicious so many training packs I've tried just doing random things to score or block or whatever and end up practicing bad habits. Knowing what I'm supposed to do is clutch, thanks!

[@Fives179]

Except it's really not. That is to say that it doesn't give a good answer on how to learn DAR. He basically says he was wrong in his last video and the way he taught people to learn it, which is by using a single joystick input to learn to turn the car is way too limited, which is correct. Then he gives no alternative learning method for DAR. The map he created is NOT going to help you learn DAR. Most of the stuff he showed in the first few shots especially can be done just as well with regular air roll, but that's not even the point. He told you to 'practice' your DAR on these shots, especially the later ones. But how are you supposed to practice actually hitting/carrying a ball or even HITTING A DOUBLE TAP when you can't even keep the car up when using DAR because you just started learning it? This is a good map if you already can control your car quite well and turn any way you want. The bullshit he says about not practicing in ring maps is not true at all. You're never gonna learn how to control the car when you don't even isolate the learning DAR part, you have to be focused on not only just moving your car in a direction you want, but also carrying/hitting the ball at the same time. This will absolutely stagger your progress at learning car control using DAR. First actually learn to control the car using DAR, then start practicing shots like these.

[@xjoy2487]

IS THERE A PART 2!? Your videos are so good 😭😭

[@tr4nnel752]

I felt like i have had the same level in this game for three years now, only getting more consistent. This for the first time feels like it enables me to reach a higher ceiling. Truly great tutorials, I'm surprised by how well you understand the "why". I never came across that information.

[@SuperMario9080]

This is a great tutorial. When I first played this game in 2016, I initially disliked the way that advanced players seemingly freestyled their shots using air rolls, but I realized that they just had numerous hours of practice. So I focused more on the practical aspects: What is the best and efficient way to score this shot? And if it involved air rolls, then I made sure to utilize them well in a game sense. The downside of this is what will most commonly be seen or played in a match, it may not be enough for unconventional situations where I have to control my car in a certain way in the air to score a very specific shot. I know what needs to happen to score a goal, but my mechanics aren't up to par with my game sense-- which is why practicing mechanics is really important even if it's boring!. I don't play that much any more, but I always respect and admire the skill that these players have nowadays for the amount of hours they put in. Thanks for the video! It really made me think of the times I poured my time into this game practicing the mechanics that interested me and remembering that feeling of finally pulling them off in a live match.

[@TheBexis]

You know someone knows the subject when hard things look simple. Mate you broke it down to what really matters. That’s awesome help. Congrats and all the success to you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@altmetv]

I watched your first DAR video a year ago and I couldn't figure out how to apply it in-game like you said but the instructions you give throughout the video whilst doing the training pack open up so many new opportunities for me that I've never experienced before, this is awesome, best tutorial out there 100%.

[@traviswaldorf]

I really like the foundation style of learning and building up the skills here. I would really like to see this or a similar training pack like the Musty Speedflip Kickoff Test, which constrains the effectiveness of the most efficient path to the ball to create a true test I can take that gives very direct feedback. Not sure how that would be created for these types of scenarios, but something I've always wanted.

[@PTHTrickshots]

Dude you have changed the way I play I literally spent 100 plus on training and watching tutorials but you where the first one to truly help me under stand on how you only do it on adjustments before I did it the whole aerial instead of just adjusting my car to the right position and you helped me understand which point of contact on the car to head for getting a certain angle and you taught me what you practice since I have always been told ring, Mabs I never put this map into consideration. Thank you so much.

[@Grifflicious]

You're most welcome! I'm glad it could help.

[@brianoleary6562]

In the follow up you need to mention how important facing the ball is (both on ground and off the wall) before pushing through for air dribbles/hits. I think a lot of diamond and even champs dont do this well and when you get to the higher level that second or 2 is long enough to get beat in the air. This is something small but it makes a big difference and is essential for reaching GC and up. As always great vid. Look forward to more content.

[@diego090bw]

Definetly yes.. Im basically GC1 Id say.. (hard to say after this seasons weird reset and those crazy mixed Champ Lobbys.) But yeah especially against good and faster players you notice instantly how much of a difference a perfect, decent or bad first touch does.. and by bad I dont mean losing control just having it to far away from you.

You’re most welcome. Happy to have you along for the journey!

[@is_this_tutchy]

i definitly agree with this. I started learning AirRoll Right with rings map but it just created bad habits like always spinning like a fckin beyblade in the air without knowing why. That's the right way for me to start learning airol for the beginners. great vid !

[@Relivion]

The tip of letting go off boost and letting the momentum carry me the rest of the way helped me gain so much for my ball control in general

[@Alexiuso]

Thank you SO much! I'm champ in 2v2, but have always thought that turning around and directing the ball before I shoot will be SO hard to do. Getting shot 3 on my first try was an eye opener! :D

As someone who typically watches a tutorial and clicks off, and is decent enough to be champ 3.. easily the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Please continue making these

[@JellySlays]

I think im gonna give this a try. As a console player, it felt like learning this mechanic was a pipe dream due to no hoops maps. But this made it seem possible

[@hammondgurka]

Hows it going now?, im on console too and feel a bit hopeless too

[@JellySlays]

@hammondgurka I definitely recommend you try this out. Watch the video along with the training pack and it literally teaches you what you need to get started. I've been waiting for a part 2 video to cover some more about it but may not need it. After a bit of training, your body just naturally picks up the rhythm and motions needed to perform. Just a note, don't get too addicted because you prone to whiffing the ball more than you need to lol

[@Trizzy1914]

As a gc2 3s player I highly support this tutorial. I've seen too often people over adjusting and whiffing because they whizzed right past a ball or couldn't manage to readjust after air rolling way too much while not knowing or having mastered it.

Definitely a mechanic that requires lots of hours. Something important I realized is to have full control learning how to fly the car while backwards and sides helps with this training as well.

[@noahhulbert1565]

I appreciate your deeply insightful analysis of the most efficient methods to use air roll. I'm a C1 that's only been playing the game seriously for the past year, and I have been intermittently trying to master air roll for at least 6 months. I'm to the point where I understand how to use it just before touching the ball to angle the shot to preference, but am horrible and slow at making multiple chained adjustments to control the ball through the air altogether. I'm always one to try to put as much knowledge behind what I'm doing as possible, and this is certainly no exception. That said, you're the only one that I've run into that breaks things down into the nerdy way that I like to analyze things, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you! Putting metrics and reasoning to the methods definitely increases my confidence in learning. Thanks a ton, please keep doing what you're doing!

[@ross9263]

As soon as you showed your training pack where you have us practice simply rotating the car I was like wow this mans a genius. Now my brain can learn what it looks like to rotate and hit the ball at different angles

[@HrvojeMikovic]

I've been saying this for a long time. Rings are great to get the muscle memory down but learning to use DAR efficiently is something else. I figured it out in defensive training packs when your car is positioned is way you can only save the shot if you use precise DAR.

[@Grifflicious]

Ooo, I like that! May I borrow that!?

[@Atezian]

The best thing I did that allowed me to start using it more correctly was after watching flakes 1v1 series about ball possession. Now I practise keeping ball possession I try to hit the ball in the air in a way that I can keep possession while in the air or after the air which means no more spamming direction air roll. It now HAS to be done intentionally to get the angle I need and then stop rolling as soon as I have that angle to get both an outplay and ball possession

[@MoreTickle]

I love this idea and I'm going to try out this training pack to see how I fair with the current state of my DAR. As for single stick input, it creates a bad habbit because our default reaction to a blackout moment is to go back to what we know (which would be that single stick), so instead of learning the single stick method, beginners are better to learn how to control their car from different angles, learning this not only improves overall car control but provides the player the foundation needed to learn DAR, this is something I've preached a few times on reddit (different username) for the past year and a half. I, like you, began by learning the single stick but a month into learning I realised I wasn't progressing and I couldn't figure out how to use the other inputs, I then realised I needed to learn how to control my car based on my camera's POV. So I used pillars and spent my time flying in a figure 8. 1. Normal - (hood facing camera) 2. Backwards (hood facing away) 3. Left - (hood facing right) 4. Right - (hood facing left) I started with number 1, once I could do a figure 8 at least 3 times without crashing I progressed to number 2, then 3 and 4. This trained me to know how to control my car regardless of the direction it was facing, took me about 2 weeks to complete steps 1 to 4 (three times each) without crashing, then I started implementing it into DAR which made learning so much easier because now instead of having to figure out the controls, I just had to figure out the timing for my inputs. This method (at least for me) dramatically improved my car control, removed so many blackouts for just normal game play and helped me learn DAR.

[@GrrumpyPants]

I think I commented on your original video saying something like "this finally made it click for me". Using 1 directional input worked for getting through a lot of the rings map, but I can't get to the ball at all. It feels like I'm almost starting again training myself to use DAR with more than 1 directional input, and the only way I've found to train it so far was to just try incorporating into training packs with aerial shots. I'll be waiting eagerly for part 2!

[@nikolasmiljkovic5847]

Essentialy what people struggle with when they learn to somewhat roll is that they use too much input and their nose of the car points around the ball, hence wasting the boost and the time yuo need to come to the ball. Excellente video, explains that simpler always has its soul :) Although on first shot i have to correct you that there is absolutely no need to air roll, just hit it with the hitbox that's closer to the goal. Meaning that when you showed how you went over the ball and pushed it down, you're doing the same thing with air roll, youre comming above it, hitting it in the same place just with your car rotated differently.

[@gangstaboy9387]

I still primarily use standard air roll for most aerials. I have air roll left bound but mainly use it for recoveries occasionally. I could believe that when first playing the game that directional air roll might be easier to learn, but I don’t think it has that much of an advantage over standard air roll if that’s already been mastered. However, I do agree with most of the advice given, especially learning to minimize the use of air roll.

[@sokrateskjoelner6132]

Love the video, Griff, as always. Can't wait for part 2. I really like the off the wall coast to coast training. It seems like some delayed flip control is naturally in there too, which is great. I just want to note that playing with gameplay speed turned down (maybe more relevant for part 2?) is like a 10x multiplier to learning air roll faster. Or at least I guess anecdotally it was great for me.

For the past month or so I forced myself to try only air rolling as needed for my shots. My consistency and accuracy in the air improved tenfold. Habits matter.

[@LeDeyo]

I've always thought my aerials sucked and at some point I'd have to dedicate more time to air rolls. My approach tended to be, get to the ball fast then worry about the shot or pass angle later, so I'd tend to fly straight to the ball and worked on my ball reads and predictions rather than a ton of rings. Some people would call me out for ugly air rolls but this makes me feel so much better hahaha

Even though I'm clueless to directional air roll. I have you to thank for that previous directional air roll video. At the beginning of that vid, you said something along the lines that you should first focus on being able to hit the ball in the air normally.

following your guidelines made me realize just how much ive skipped fundamentals. I can do all of this consistently while using directional air roll. I can NOT do all of this consistently while barely using directional air roll. Its like i ran before i walked lol C3 ish lol Edit: Understanding fundamentals thoroughly before understanding advanced multi input mechanics is why high ranked or pro players understand when to slow down in a play etc and can do so without having a blackout moment where they aren't sure :P Ive only barely had a few moments recently where ive began to understand how advantageous circumventing a fast moving game with a seemingly random slow down is. You dont have to be Super sonic all the time if you really try to understand certain plays/patterns in your rank. it allows you to cut off fast moving plays with great positioning.
