[@francisperreault5541]

Turns out the main thing that was missing for my airdribbles was letting go of boost for 1st touch, i watched countless videos including yours and the only thing i changed was that and instant improvement. Thanks!

[@sketchygfx]

literally same here

[@scoliosis6528]

while I was learning I figured it out on my own and the difference was massive, went from looking like a plat to gc when I air dribbled lmao

[@francisperreault5541]

Its crazy

[@SimonBettison]

This stuck out to me when watching the video - I think I need to watch for this, it would explain a few things :)

[@josh0147]

Well sometimes you do sometimes you dont, it depends whether you want a hard or soft touch. Harder ones are generally easier to follow

[@averageonagooddaygaming8585]

THIS IS IT!!! Finally a very detailed breakdown, step by step, highlighting the 'little things' that make all the difference...Personally, I've been training wall to air dribbles and have struggled with control coming off the wall. I will be uploading a video on my progress highlighting the tips from here that really helped me. This is a GAME CHANGING tutorial, thank you, Thano!!! Aim small, miss small amirite?

I learned to air dribble from Thanovics original tutorials. It's really cool to see all these years later he's giving a more educated, intuitive tutorial with an updated perspective that reflects his advance in skill! Good stuff dude!

[@beauonehunned]

I can't even lie your tutorials are amazing! Helped me get to diamond 2 in 2s.

[@Thanovic]

Great to hear!

[@paulhorton7792]

I've liked your channel for a long time. I know I'll never get to your level of skill but how you break everything down is perfect. I've been hard stuck c2 for years now. I did break through right before free to play and almost got to GC. But the change in pace and consistency was definitely a wake up call. Keep up the good work bro!

[@neonraytracer8846]

I loved your old tutorials, they propelled me from g2 to d1. From there, I did some neon heights, and learned to aerial pretty well. I'm currently sitting around 1000mmr, mostly playing casual. My next step was exactly this, and you hit all the nails directly on the head! I did my first PROPER aerial dribble in 3 tries. This video is gonna make me a champ next season, cheers dude! You are amazing, keep up the good work, you have a unique way of making videos and it's gonna make you go where you want it to.

[@miguelgoncalves8568]

Hey Thanovic, this is a very high quality video, easy to understand and easy to go through! That said, flip resets are probably the best mechanic between a comp player and freestyler and for some reason I can't get the hang of how to setup the ball for it and how to follow it up after you hit one, so I would love a video about that on your series. Great video once again!

[@vSharpYv]

His 100 hours of flip reset training is a good video for this. But it seems like he will create a higher quality one soon based off this video.

[@CasualYoutubeCommenter]

I would say the setup between the air dribble and the flip reset are very different for one specific thing (at least for me). You have to give yourself and the ball a bit of space before you jump from the wall in a flip reset. In an air dribble, you don’t do that, you go straight at it for the first touch. May not sound different but trust me, it helps a lot.

[@daveed2702]

@@CasualKZbinCommenter you’re right. when i started braking after hitting the ball, it really helped out my flip resets. instead of hitting the ball w no boost for control, i think it’s best to boost into it kinda like a ceiling shot.

[@brandonjohnson3096]

Yes really loved the video, I'm also struggling with the flip reset I either don't know if I'm going to get when I make an attempt or I am completely lost with what to do with my car if I do get it

[@daveed2702]

@@brandonjohnson3096 js boost into the ball before contact and tap your brakes immediately after, the rest depends on your own car control tbh, bc getting the flip for me isn’t that hard but how to stick close to the ball is my biggest struggle currently

Could you do another one on the speedflip? im gc1 but I struggle with speedflipping. edit: I’ve now learnt the Speedflip and have nearly reached gc2

[@t2tactical766]

@@Thanovic if you do, you should include the speedflip trainer bakkesmod plug-in! It's definitely the thing that made me get my speedflips consistent.

[@santiagocorrea1139]

I have been trying to learn it for a few weeks now and been stuck. This will help a lot, perfect timing. Thanks Thano!

[@Thanovic]

Glad to hear it! Good luck sir!

[@judd5380]

I started actually hitting my air dribbles, and used your 100 hours and original air dribble video to learn. This update gave good tips and added so much! Can't wait to see future tips and other videos!

[@ccubed4437]

Nice video Thanovic! This really helped me understand the mechanic of air dribbling. You’re my favourite KZbinr, keep up the good work!

[@jrolles98]

Loved the format and the content in this tutorial! I'd love to see one for (aerial) musty flicks. I've been working on them off and on and can't seem to get it consistent. I think it could encompass a few variations like off the side wall or after getting a reset from both the ceiling and the ball. I know that that is chaining a few things together, so maybe after you go through a standard ceiling shot and standard flip reset tutorial you can expand on them by teaching how to chain multiple aerial mechanics together.

[@bleasure8754]

I’ve recently gotten back into rocket league and really want to improve to a skill level I’ve never achieved before, your videos have been very helpful, just hit diamond 3 last night, I’m moving through the ranks pretty quickly, hoping to hit champ soon.

[@Chilipotamus]

Your editing and flow are untouchable in the RL content sphere. Overlaying x/y axis to show proper touches for air control is such a good way to break it down, especially for visual learners. Seeing you slow down and overlay the angles on popular mechanics have definitely helped me straighten out my mechs. Thanks again Than!

Glad you like the editing style!

So glad the tutorials are coming back! I just started getting back into the game after a 1 year break and these tutorials are really gonna help.

[@VedAR_]

I'd like a updated air-roll guide and more importantly a mechanical training routine that forces you to learn different mechanics ( just as a suggestion, maybe 1.5 - 3 hours to fit everything?), like general shooting, fast aerials, dribbles and flicks, etc. thanks!

[@you-are-loser]

I can maybe make something that fits your criteria in custom training I already will make one called ssl mechanics pack and how about a routine in its description with it too soo here it is 10 general shots 5 fast aerials 5 flicks 5 dribbles and 2 air dribbles 5 clears this is pretty much just a mini version of the ssl mechanical pack which is : 5 air dribble 15 flicks 15 clears 10 general shots 15 dribbles 10 fast aerials 5 double touches 10 half roll/flip idr what it's called 15 speed flip 10 flip reset Total 110 I made it for myself because I'm champ

Thank you so much Thanovic. This video was really easy to understand and helped me a lot on air dribbles. I just want to say thank you again bro.

[@lucasvance6282]

Thank you Thanovic. The tip about not boosting after the first touch has helped me immensely, and is one of the reasons I think that this is currently the best air dribble tutorial on KZbin at the moment. I know it's kind of basic, but learning powerslide cuts/bounce dribbling would be an interesting and unique tutorial next?

[@aaronmcateer]

[@ChineseDonutBoy]

Great video! I just sent it to a friend that is trying to learn air dribbles. It took me a while to learn how to keep the ball close in the air, but like you said matching the speed of the ball is the key. If you can match the speed of the ball during your setup, it makes it so much easier to do the same while in the air.

[@Thanovic]

Glad it helped!

Ty for making these videos all my diamond lobbies are people who only know how to air dribble without anyone in net so ive been getting some easy games

[@flitzkr]

I want to learn air dribbling and air usage on defense, as soon as possible, I currently seat around gold 2-plat 3 ranks, and I don't want to go too high so I struggle against others because they know how to air dribble. I think my rotations are pretty decent and I'm quite patient, i know when to fall back, get boost etc and solid in 1v1s (plat 3), and 2v2s (gold 1-2). I'm only struggling the air control and how to master the air, I will definitely learn how to air dribble before trying out to save an air shot. Thanks for the video.
