Rocket League: Complete Guide To Flicks
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- This Rocket League video covers everything you will need to know about flicks in tutorial and analysis style up until you get VERY advanced with them. I've watched many tutorials on this topic before but none of them go into as much detail as I do in this video, in my opinion.

This video took a very long time to make. I got the idea during some coaching sessions when some players asked for tips on how to flick in Rocket League. They said they had seen plenty of tutorials on flicks before but none of them ever really explained flicks in the same way that I did and they all instantly had much more success than ever before after the tips I gave them. After going through that same experience with teaching flicks multiple times, I figured it was definitely time I make a Rocket League flick tutorial so everyone could learn from the same tips that I gave to those students that had so much success. No matter if you're bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, champion, or grand champion, chances are, you can learn a lot from this video. I hope you enjoy! - เกม
Finally someone who clearly explains flicks and the physics behind it. Nice video man
kevpert explained it very well too for back then
oh yeah it was very clear when he said “imagine your car is one of these... slingy toy thingys.”
@@soysauce05 yea it kinda makes sense
@@aqaridot Kevpert generally did a decent job of explaining mechanics and gameplay. This does a great job too, honestly I could watch both and feel like I'm taking away some good advice from each of them.
bone apple tea
"No you're gonna take it, and cradle it.... And then yeet it"
Hahaha had me in stitches. Great vid man keep it up.
same here lmaooooooooo

Your idea about cradling the ball is exactly the kind of thing I needed to hear. I've been struggling with consistency on flicking the ball. I've been following the advice of most others, which is to hold down jump so my car stays with the ball, but it wasn't always working out. Now I also need to work on dribbling, but I think it's good enough at this point to be able to work on flicks so I can pull them off in a game. Anyway, I think your idea of cradling the ball is going to make a difference for me. I tend to only tap jump anyway so now I just need to work in the movements for the cradle.
Great work Wayton! Keep it up, man!
If you really wanted to nerd out, you could talk about angular momentum and torque to describe how flicks generate power.
Daniel Riley, that was amazing lol. Sounding nerdy. I like it.
So happy you got so much out of this video! This comment means a lot to me. I spent a really long time making this one and it really seems like people are learning a ton!
@@WaytonPilkin I really appreciated the detail you went into. Thanks again, man! Hopefully I'll get to your level soon!
@@WebHead948 sounds like the perfect video for rocket science to make
Your channel is the definition of "quality over quantity."
This is so perfect. I have been procrastinating looking for a good flick tutorial and now you just went and made what I'm sure is the best one in existence. Thank Wayton!
Me: Starts grinding ones again.
Wayton: Releases a video on flicks a day later.
Me: Okay, I get it, I'm bad. You didn't have to call me out like that...
lmao
Wayton Pilkin lol
Man I've been playing above my average a good week+ now...
Reflecting on that I haven't really been dribbling & flicking at all.
I'm bad. Guess I'm headed to FreePlay for dribbling practice.
Holy shit! Quality information aside, the editing on this video is insane!
Thanks for making this video. I just hit Plat 1 in 2v2 and I'm trying to improve and you're right - all the videos I've seen on flicks are so basic I couldn't find anything that talked about the things you mentioned. I knew I was going wrong somewhere and didn't know what to focus on.
Same
Same I'm gold 3 but was in plat 1
his videos are awesome for lower ranks!
I'm so glad I could help. As I mentioned, it really did feel like there was a hole where quality flick tutorials would stand. Hopefully this fills that hole a decent bit. You'll be up to Diamond in no time!
Same I hit plat around the same time as you and now I’m plat 2 I hope this video can help me, especially in 1s
Easily the best flicks tutorial I've seen
First only 10 months late
"Dribbling in rocket league is like 10x harder than in real life soccer" That's where all the dislikes are from lmao
I mean, being consistent with them is pretty difficult. Anyone can dribble in soccer with 5 minutes of practice and shoot the ball decently. More of like a skill floor
@@Calebanton Do you know what consistent means
@@lleytonyang9207 I don't get what you're trying to say. Dribbling and the mechanics around it have a much higher skill floor to get a baseline consistency in rocket league. In soccer, you can get consistent faster, but your shots will be bad compared to a higher-level player. That's how a skill floor works
Caleb1243 I disagree and I believe that getting CONSISTENT shots in soccer is so overlooked and people are always like “it’s just kicking a ball” when it’s really not. Obviously a person could kick a ball consistently but they couldn’t dribble with skill consistently in soccer.
@@lleytonyang9207 I said the skill floor is high. I can go into a field and can dribble the ball downfield and kick it into the net 10/10 times with 0 practice. Not possible in rocket league, so rocket league has a higher skill floor
From a fellow GC this is the best flick tutorial out there! Most RL mechanics have small "secret" maneuvers you must do during the set up but they're rarely talked about. Im sure the cradle analogy will lead to a lot of "Ah Ha" moments for people! Well done!
I have never been able to do a 45 degree flick before. The literal second you described "cradling" in this video, I booted up the game and was able to pull off a 45 degree flick straight away! This is a top tier video you have made!
your tutorials are always insightful. i've thought about the idea of the cradle, never had a word for it tho, and this vid helped me understand that idea very well. looking forward to training with these tips in mind.
Bro you make the best rocket league coach videos. That’s it. Never saw anything that accurate and precise. Gg
holy shit not even joking before I watched this the only flick I could do was a front flip and diagonal flip flick and after watching this I go into training and instantly start hitting 180 flicks like it's nothing wtf this video was magic lmao
Your quality is unreal man. You do everything so well. Great video
Wayton, this is literally one of the best rocket league tutorials I’ve ever seen. You just explained everything extremely well, your visuals and analogies just opened up flicks to me that I’ve been struggling with ever since I started rocket league (I’m champ now and can barely flick). Turning your car down to cradle, using that whiffle ball toy to visualize the flick, all of them just opened my eyes to the mechanics of the flick I never understood. Thank you.
I watched literally every flick tutorial youtube has to offer and this is definitely the most in depth and well explained one yet, Thank you so much for this video
This video is fantastic! I'm sitting in C3 in 2's and 3's and I'm sure what you've talked about in this video will finally help me break GC. Awesome video man!!
Top notch tut my friend. Flicks explained very well and the work you put into these is always very evident. Thank you for this. I needed it.
Your production quality/cinematics are insanely nice Wayton. Awesome video man!
This has been driving me CRAZY! I kept asking coaches and streamers how they flick because it kept popping off my car even when I listen to the usual advice (i.e. match the ball's speed, hold jump, etc.). But not "Cradling" my flicks is exactly why I've been struggling!
Thanks for your different perspectives on these mechanics, like this one and your shots video.
Thank you! I love guides with theoretical explanation and good visual examples.
I literally saw the video yesterday and try it, im so impressed that after almost one month of trying to wrongly flicking, i just started to hit them consistently EVEN in ranked. omg the most benefit rocket league vid ever seen
Exactly the in-depth analysis needed for this topic, breaking down the mechanics needed (cradle, scoop) and how they correct the things were all doing wrong, thanks!
That bridge between “here’s what you’re doing and why it isn’t working” and “ here’s the thing that fixes that” is important
Wayton: here are all the flicks
Breezi: Am I a joke to you?
9:24 "competitively viable" Breezy flick is a freestyle
@@christiantaylor1495 It's spelled "Breezi"
Upgrade Breezi not breezy
Breezi*
Is that better? Lol
The cradling makes sense! Great explanation.
I've flicked a few times intending to, but not knowing how and had the exact problem you mentioned - that I never know why it works and why it doesn't.
I understood I was "popping" it rather than "sliding" it, but didn't quite get what the issue was entirely.
Been following you for a bit. Your tutorials have improved my play skill more than any other videos could. Your unique explanations make everything click for me! Appreciate you!
This is the definitive flick tutorial. It covered pretty much everything a player need to learn about flicks, be it a high ranked player wanting to perfect their flicks or a complete amateur wanting to begin training flicks. Great video as always, Wayton!
Really good man. Great how you don't just say what other people do amazing stuff.
Been sucking with my flicks rn in a slump and washed so thank you!
This is an awesome guide!!! I’m c1 and never knew some of the things you said. I’m definitely going to get way more consistent now. Thank you!
insane vid as always, crazy how you keep finding such useful insights countless others have missed. Keep em commin!!
You have a very special vision of the game and thats why your advices are so good :D ! thx btw
keep it up man
Been too long
Great tutorial. The cradle bit will really help my practice with these, thanks!
This is one of those videos that I’ve come back to many times throughout the last few months and it has made a world of difference for my gameplay. The more you practice, the more you can practically “feel” where the sweet spot for the flick is
I literally started training flicks two days ago
This video helps a lot 😂
I really have to learn to dribble...but i cant use woorkshop maps because i'm a xbox player but after that i'll come back to this vid and try to make flicks...so thanks for the vid keep it up! 😃
found you little Tiger
@@-fynn131 no go away qwq
U wanna practice wit me
This made me understand flicks so much better. Thanks man ❤
Love this video! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so clearly with the help of graphics. I also didn’t know about the slo-mo thing in a private match so I’m definitely going to start utilizing that more. Keep up the great work the community loves you!!
100% the best flicks video yet. Ever since i could feel that scoop, or that wrap, that cradle, I have been way more consistent with it and this video just explains it perfectly and taught me how to do some flicks that I havent done before, but now i csnt wait to get home and try them out! Flicks are one of my favorite mechanics for sure. It feels so good when you land a powerful flick.
This is like the best video ever. I’ve gone way too long not knowing any of this
So underrated channel, been liking your videos hoping you get more subs.
I’ve always noticed the cradle but never really knew how to incorporate it and seeing this video helps so much
subscribed because of this. Honestly its great to mechanically learn all of this in practice then when you fail without knowing why you just keep grinding till it becomes second nature. Actually learning what's going on and visually see these images are great. Truly will save you a lot of time as know you know what you did wrong. Wish this came out 3 months ago, awesome stuff!
6:27 the slingy thing is called Jai-Alai
very confident with all these mechanics but yet i clicked on this video and honestly the best video i’ve seen about it
Awesome. I really looked 10 long videos about flicks and dribbles but you explained it soooo good. There are huge and small infos that only you covered in this video. 100% recommendation and great editing. Thank you so much!
Looked into your account and noticed that you don't have a air dribble guide. I really want to learn that mechanics and looked also dozens of videos about it but it is kind of random with the setup. If I randomly do the setup correctly I can pull off the air dribble mechanics and I think it is like it is with Flicks. Your key point the "cradle" was the one thing that boosted my flicks so hard. Maybe you can do a video like this one for air dribbles / ceiling shots or other mechanics as well
Such a good tutorial I think the same as you with the whatever the flick is, is where the sweet spot is but you explained it in so much more detail than most people could
The best rocket league creator content
Keep doing what you u make me laugh in all the vids
Thanks Wayton! This was an outstanding video - your editing is amazing and ofc your game knowledge is always top-tier. I think a really excellent follow-up video would be to go through each of the competitively viable flicks and give some tips/tricks on the mechanics and how to master them so players can find it in one place instead of having to search/watch lots of videos.
DUDE, you are just so helpful for RL community, much love man,, never stop
Thank you, I needed this!
cleverly done! this needs to be the standard for everyone doing tutorials. dont just SHOW how it is done. to communicate what is behind the mechanic you have internalised you need to really dissect that stuff. thanks a lot for this!
I don't know many other Rocket League content creators who have as much detail or helpfulness in their videos. It's also really well laid out. Good work bro
In my opinion this is the best video on flicks yet. Completely new look on flicks and it was so helpful. Great video man keep it up. (This video made me sub 👍)
My flicks are bad
Thanks for the video, it will help me to make my flicks better and train them
It is certainly one of my weaknesses
Great quality content 👌👌
The classy flick, i've been searching for this one for so long, thanks for mentioning it, looks so cool
Such a great metaphor. I would have never thought of that sling ball contraption but now its all I'll think about when I'm flicking.
great tutorial really helpful
thank you wayton, very cool!
thank you paco, great comment!
Subbed for the astounding on pointness(¿) of this tutorial! Most comprehensive tutorial ive seen. And consistently!!
Loving the production quality! 🔥 💪
I’m 1900 in 2s and I’m still struggling to dribble the ball and flick consistently. This video really helped me out!
I’ve hit diamond with terrible flicks. I was about to search up a video on flicking when you uploaded thanks!
I never really wanted to try to improve my flicks until I saw this video, you make it easy to understand and in-turn, easier to learn. I cant wait to take my 1s to a whole other level! Thanks
amaaazing video, so clear , clean, polished and fresh
Ngl this video was really helpful helping me understand even tho I'm pretty good at flick anyway
Get this man to 100k!
I thought the sweet spot was my problem when I started watching then saw your explanation for the cradle and it helped so much. I could consistently dribble but half the time there was just a bit to much space for the flick to go off but once I started taking your cradle advice I was hitting them much more consistently
Best tutorial out there. Tried many, but this helped me get real power on my flicks!
Not sure if someone commented about it already but I actually know what the wiffle ball toy swingy thing is called! It's based on a game called "Jai Alai" (pronounced 'high-a-lie'), which is played in mainly Latin American countries as well as Spain. The racket you throw the ball with is called a "cesta" or "xistera."
I'm Spanish and I can confirm this information xd
Here's the pro version of it...th-cam.com/video/q5iQcnIRMa8/w-d-xo.html. The ball is sometimes going 190 mph (302 km/h)! Crazy stuff.
Yeeting the baby with the lion king clip actually made me burst out laughing. Amazing video buddy, so well explained and worth the wait!
Hey Scotty... Jesus man. 👊
Hey! I'm a mid gc who was looking for a way for a few months now to get better flicks. I bounced around pro vods for a while, and they do indeed use the cradle! I observed this before stumbling upon your video; I thought they were doing it simply so their flick has more follow-through, I didn't know it was to reduce the space between them and the ball. Now that I know this, my flicks have finally got to that next level; thank you, Wayton!
Finally, my best youtuber at giving tips uploaded the video I needed
HE POSTED, glad he didn't die lol, but this was a good video keep it up.
What are you camera setting? P.S. Love the videos
Besides the incredibly useful information, the video is beautifully put together. Keep it up man!!!
Your guides are freaking awesome. You explain things in a way no one else does and it makes way more sense.
Who else is watching this in the low ranks
Cradle then Yeet. 😂
You got it!
Wayton Pilkin 😂😂😂😂
If I do that to my kid that is jail time but in rocket league that ball is my baby so great advice I'm going to yet it sad thing is I'm 8 out of 10 on my gc wins and dropped down from gc to c3
You explained the cradle so damn well i hit a flick literally the next try after understanding what you ment. Thats a sub from me thanks man
Yoo I love the animation and editing. You do such a good job explaining how and when to flick now my flicks are on point, Thanks. Keep up the great work.
this is just missing "controller inputs" so we understand more how you do the craddling/flips to execute the flicks

And who cares if you were first or weren’t.... not to be mean or anything but what are you accomplishing by saying this
@@huzy.k11 prob salty bc they cant dribble or flick
Agree so much! Flicks are one of my strongest assets, and I resonate with pretty much everything you're saying. And you're also articulating things I feel like I know, but that I haven't put in to words. I really think you did a great job here :)
I wish Id seen this sooner, its helped with my focus on flicks, and the cradle is something I havent seen much or thought about. In my practice the cradle portion is something I am having the most trouble with though. Most of which comes from not quite getting the turn/air roll spot on. Idk if you have it in mind yet, but I think an expansion on how to properly cradle could be invaluable.
Anyways love your content and tutorials. My favorite one the one that Ive seen the biggest jump in skill/rank from has been your "sudden aerials" training pack!!
"dribbling in rocket league is 10 times harder than in football"
*casts doubt*
For someone who has never touched a soccer ball, its way harder to dribble in soccer than in a video game.
I’m trying to learn to flip reset, yet I’m a silver 2
Stop.
cool.
Why?
Stop.
Probably reason why you are silver 2. You should care more about rotation.
Wayton... You have changed my RL life! I can flick now fairly consistently! Literally I haven't even finished watching the vid. I got to 5:05 where you explained the cradle and that's what I'd been missing! Thanks dude!
I am not sure if you still read comments this late but I watched this video and have been trying to learn to flick for the first time using slow-motion and heavy mods. I started the game 2 months ago so it was quite a challenge but after about 4 hours in freeplay and local matches with mods, I can do a 45 flick constantly and I am working on a 180 just for fun now. Thank you so much!!!

Very solid video! Informative, smooth edits, and best of all it makes me wanna practice!
He makes things so easy to understand, good job man love you vids!
Thanks so much keep making videos like these they help more than you can imagine!
DUDE, please continue on this type of videos because some of us need it🔥💪🏻
I love that you included jon leaning out of his seat! I just watched that video right before this one!
Great video, very informative, helpful and I couldn't help but laugh at times. The sweet spot for me in terms of video composition.
Good video the slow ball tip really helped me and u explained really well and u didn’t rush the video and that I thank u for
