Here’s how to learn one of the most important tactics in Rocket League: the Speed Flip. With players trying to rank up as high as possible in Season 2, players are looking for new habits they can develop to give them any advantage possible over opposing players.
The Speed Flip is a move that is invaluable. It can be used in kickoffs, rotations, defending, and attacking. It’s the most efficient way to move around the map and use boost.
In order to pull off this move, you need to be able to flip cancel. This means after jumping, you have to pull in the opposite direction that you have flipped. If you find yourself flipping left or right, it’s because you are not pulling straight down on the controls.

Once you’ve mastered that, you can practice the Speed Flip, which is a very straight, diagonal flip. This means that when you’ve flipped forward, the nose of your car is pointing slightly diagonal towards the ground, which allows you to keep boosting through the entirety of your flip.
This move is difficult to master, as it is basically a slight barrel roll, and sometimes you can feel like you’re completely missing the ball. I’ve been through these issues where I’ve completely missed it many times and have wanted to give up. But, if you’re looking to take your game to the next level, just keep at it, these moves will help you immensely throughout Season 2, and well into the future.
With all that’s new to Rocket league from songs to cosmetics, make sure you keep your game up to par with everything else and nail down the Speed Flip.
