There are hundreds of different ways that players can score a goal in Rocket League, some making it even more stylish. Many players are still learning techniques that help others score goals, even after playing for a while. One technique that new and even older players will want to learn is Air Dribbling. It is considered one of the harder techniques to learn, but once mastered, it offers a huge advantage to help the player and their team win many matches.
Air Dribbling is a hard move to learn, but hopefully, after reading this guide, players will find it even easier to master. Air Dribbling is a skill wherein the player must control the ball while boosting through the air. This gives the player a massive advantage to be in a position where they can shoot for a goal or pass to a teammate. It goes without saying that a ton of practice is needed to ensure a successful air dribble can be achieved. Each of these steps helps the player recognize and even see what they might be doing wrong.

Rocket League has begun preparing for the holidays. Here is how to get the Nightmare Before Christmas items in the game.
How To Air Dribble In Rocket League
The first and most important step is to make sure that the ball is set up correctly. This means that the ball is on the ground in front of the car and can be dribbled into a wall or even hit into the air. Next, the player will need to jump into the air and flip diagonally, which will make the ball go straight up into the air. After the ball goes up into the air, players will need to stay behind it and immediately use their boost.
The boost is important, as it will help the player gain the height they need to keep their vehicle close to the ball, keeping control of it by staying right under it.
After players have maintained the ball in their control, it is important to be sure it doesn't move away from them to keep dribbling it. Keeping the ball directly aligned with the player’s car is important. This is also where the player should ensure they are using the correct momentum of the boost to maintain control and keep the ball away from the opponents in Rocket League.
With all the other steps completed and approaching the goal, the player should be prepared to finish the air dribble by either flicking their car toward the goal to score or passing the ball to a teammate who could potentially score if the player cannot score. This is solely up to the player and the situation they find themselves in and how they can score.
Combining all of these steps above, the player can complete an air dribble and help their team score many goals by keeping the opponents from gaining control of the ball.
Additional Tips For Air Dribbling In Rocket League
While these steps are simple, there are some further steps that the player can do to help improve their chances of completing the air dribble. Some of these tips are, of course, practicing the air dribble and camera settings, which can help the player see and have better control of the ball while it is in the air. It is important to make sure the player doesn't spin or roll while performing these moves.
Most players who attempt this tend to struggle to maintain momentum and positioning. They use too much boost or even just let control of the ball slip out of their reach. The best way to prevent that is to dictate what is best for the position the player is in. Most times, it is important to always fill up their boost before performing an air dribble in Rocket League.
