Rocket League: 10 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

6. Use Your Double Jump For Speed

First discovering the double-jump in Rocket League is an amazing feeling. After a game or so of trying and failing to reach every single high ball in the match you finally realise just how everyone else had been doing it €“ and you€™ll probably promptly start overusing the feature to the point where you€™re gliding over the ball every single time you go airborne. Although the double jump is effective, sometimes a powerful rocket-propelled double jump isn€™t the only answer to the ball being right in front of you, as often an attempt at dribbling with light taps to position yourself before the proper strike will provide a better tactical advantage. But it€™s not knowing just what type of jump to use when you€™re on the ball but also how to use the jump to your advantage when you€™re on the defensive. If you€™re out of boost, the double-jump works as a way for you to get around the arena faster than simply driving, and for a game where speed and positioning is essential, the added boost from a double-jump can prove invaluable when you€™re all out of options.
