Stop Shooting Like THIS | ROCKET LEAGUE

In this 2 minute tutorial, I cover the mistakes I see lower rank players make when shooting and how to fix them to shoot with more power and accuracy.

FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most Youtubers.

I don't want to take cheap brand partnerships or sell you a $50 course... although I'm sure I could make more money if I did either of those things (and there's nothing wrong with people who go that route).


Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.

How I got here…

🔹16 yrs old: Switched to uploading Fortnite videos on this channel. You can go to my uploads sort oldest to newest to see all of my old Fortnite videos
🔹19 yrs old: Rocket League went free to play and my channel blew up. To keep up with the demand for coaching, started the Grand Champ Roadmap --a rocket league course business
🔹20 yrs old: Developed company and continued to scale course business. Eventually, I dropped out of school to pursue Youtube and the company full-time.
🔹22 yrs old: @Virge joined as director of coaching to further improve the coaching experience and help us make more free Rocket league content that is accessible to everyone.

Today: Coaching is how we make our money - not youtube videos or courses.

To all the people trying, failing, and hustling to make their dreams come true, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. Don't let other people, their opinions, or their stones bring you down.

Do you,
Luke

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:00 🚀 *Aerial Shooting Technique*
- Aerial shooting is crucial for ranking up.
- Common mistake: Incorrect air rolling direction while shooting.
- Solution: Air roll opposite to the shooting direction for better ball control.
00:56 🚗 *Frontal Contact for Power*
- Mistake: Hitting the ball with the hood of the car during aerials.
- Optimal contact: Use the front or front corners of the car for more power and control.
- Result: Boost through the shot efficiently and maintain better control.
01:51 ⚽ *Shot Selection Strategy*
- Common mistake: Shooting too early without assessing the situation.
- Strategy: Develop soft touches and chip the ball forward before the final shot.
- Benefit: Increased space and difficulty for opponents to save the shot.

I would love to see you make a video on generating power from every different situation. Like when the ball is coming to you, going away from you, hook shots, passing from rolling balls, power from slow balls, etc. I don’t think I’ve seen a video explaining all the ways to get power from every position

You have the best rl tips tutorials and concept videos on rocket league. Been playing since the beginning and just finally decided to up my game. In a couple weeks ive noticed a huge improvement.

[cristianocoretti]

I'm Italian and I see a lot of your videos, even if I don't understand everything they help me a lot and, for me, you are the best youtuber that helps many players to rank up I respect you
greetings from Italy
e se non credete che sono italiano siete delle brutte persone (if you want to translate it)

[vocalsam]

Thanks for the lesson, Luke. I would never rank up if it weren't for your tutorial videos.

Keeping the ball on top of my car is one of the hardest things for me. I’ve seen videos and such but it feels damn near impossible

[yugenrl]

I love the editing man that's pretty unique when it comes to tutorial vids! keeps me entertained

[YoBrand]

These are all extremely obvious, but maybe not to everyone. I do like that you included the 10% for number 2, because there are definitely circumstances where you can outplay but not shooting with the hood. So that was a good tip. Number 3 a lot of duos and trios teammates need to understand better... so many times I go to control a ball or do a soft chip to myself and partner comes racing in for the steal lol

[RichyMTB]

The problem with the 3td is, that the enemies are challenging after i pop it even if they are turning to their own goal, and if i get to an airdribble, they save like everything

[ra_meze]

finally someone who gets to the point short and simple holy shit actually don’t wanna blow my brains out for once thank you

[simonmayr]

Editing on point, short and sweet! Keep it up!!!

Thanks so much for all these videos theyve helped me so much I've gone from diamond 2 to champ 2 in 5 days!

[andrewbartlett]

honestly loved the quick rip video style. big appreciate

[mrgoatbeard]

Super casual guy but these all make absolute sense...I am too old school didn't even know about the air roll shot gonna start practicing it more but makes sense with the front of the car.

[Zapple]

I'm so bad at this game I can only really do ground shots. It's a very difficult game to learn. I feel like I can't control my shots when going for ariels

[xblsumtimesclutch]

I've been hard stuck diamond for I don't know how many seasons really just playing basic as hell. This makes a lot of sense

[thomaslee]

at 2:34 those cars look insane I think the next season reward decal should look like that or atleast similar in a way
