Advanced Ground Play | Catches, Dribbles, & Flicks | Rocket League Tutorial

Kevpert - Catches Ground 1 F7: 8FA1-DC94-C18D-D82B

Here's an in-depth ground game tutorial, with an analysis on one of the current 1v1 greats, Mawkzy. Whilst catches/dribbles/flicks are a basic idea and some of the first mechanics you learn, there's a huge difference between what the top pros do, and even Ranks #51-100. The elite players really do have a different grasp of the fundamentals.

This was top of mind since I put out the "1s 'Til I Lose" video out on Thursday, and there was a lot of great discussion on 1v1 attacking. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer!

You are low key the most influential RL educational content creator. Keep doing what you are doing. Every time a fresh champ player ask for advice I always tell them "advanced aerial routine, ultimate defense, long and air roll shots, that's all you need at your level".

[PrecisionzFPS]

I love the way you're showing pro gameplay at the beginning of these tutorials, it really makes it easier to picture the usefulness of most mechanics, since they are so consistent at it

[andreherth-zander]

The higher i get up in rank the more valuable your videos become. Thank you!

[gadg]

You do a great job putting me in the mindset of someone as good as you, I only have 100 hours but I feel like I’m learning and playing at an accelerated rate while watching your breakdowns

[ToriKo_]

Banger. I love that your focusing on ground play too. Defo gonna give this a try. Now I’d love a shot for basic shooting because I’m absolutely terrible at that. I only practice dribbles and flicks, so somehow I’m better at those things than basic shooting

[TheBladeIsMe]

I worked on your training plan and I really improved my Mechanics and even ranked up from c1 to c3 and im very thankful. I wish you had patreon so WE can support you back

[caieelovesjesus]

Thanks for putting out these tutorials!

[WillSlimeU]

Aye was waiting on the vid today. Preciate u staying consistent

[melvincooly]

We all appreciate you’re videos so heavy man. You’ve got a great following, keep it up!

[Palaecro]

What I still don't understand is the counter movement you need to perfectly respond to a ball touch without allowing it to throw your car off

[rocketlcs]

You're the best man. This is exactly what I needed. I get so tilted everytime I miss open nets because of not catching or flicking the ball correctly. Thanks

[mind_of_dro]

the ball on the actual training pack is faster than the ball shown here, making the pack unplayable because we cant play it like you demonstrated

[joshd]

no way ur back! i used to watch ur videos from 6 years back!

[FLUFFYCAT_PNW]

Yoooo! Didn't know you made YouTube videos, but def enjoy your training packs! Hope you're well man, and keep up the great work!

[tobeytm]

A question not topic related. I often feel like the car moves slow when i start playing Rocket League, it then gets better the further the day has gone by. I also feel like I often to random stuff instead of executing the mechanic like i should. For the first part, do you by chance know any cause or counter to that weird feeling? And for the second part, I think this may be because i yet don't have the muscle memory for these mechanics right?

[Multiple_Launch_Rocket_System]

on the second one the ball hits the wall begfore i can even get to it and im hitting boost the whole time and still cant make it to the ball i dont understand i did the binds and says there working so i dont know why im having issues even reaching the ball

[greel]

They binds you copied into the binds folder in the video, are different then the ones in the description! Have they been updated? Also does holding airroll prevent recoil? When making contact with the ball in shot 1 for example... because I only have airroll left/right bound and I'm getting ball slapped all over the place!?

[forpz]

super good timing as im looking to main 1s next season im c3 in 2s hopfully a season of ones will help me push up into gc and higher grate video❤❤

[thecorvus]

The ball looks so forward on his car during his quick flicks. It doesn’t look like it should work. Maybe it’s his super far camera angle. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Lilredlambo]

Um, isn't a tutorial supposed to include instructions on how to do the things the creator is discussing? This is just a "here are things that work" video
