To execute a speed flip in Rocket League, you’ll need to master a sequence of actions combining a diagonal flip and a flip cancel with precise timing.
The speed flip is the fastest kickoff and movement technique in Rocket League. It’s a more advanced version of the diagonal flip that uses a flip cancel to maintain speed and car control.
Here’s how to do it:
🎮 How to Speed Flip (Step-by-Step)
🔧 1. Diagonal Flip
On your controller or keyboard:
Tilt your joystick diagonally forward (e.g., up-right or up-left) to start a diagonal front flip.
🛑 2. Flip Cancel
Immediately pull your joystick in the opposite direction (diagonally down-left or down-right).
This cancels the flip animation, keeping your car aligned and accelerating smoothly.
🕹️ 3. Boost During the Flip
Hold boost the entire time to maintain top speed.
Timing is crucial—start boosting right before the flip and keep boosting during and after the cancel.
⚙️ 4. Air Roll (Optional for Control)
Some players add air roll to keep the car straight or land more cleanly, especially when recovering from a kickoff.

💡 Tips for Learning
Start in Free Play or use custom training packs.
Use slow motion training via mods (like BakkesMod on PC) to perfect timing.
Try the “Speed Flip Training” pack (Code: 2E8C-7A9D-DAE1-BA90) to practice consistently.
Key Points:
- Timing is crucial: The transition from the diagonal flip to the flip cancel needs to be very quick. Practice the timing of pulling down immediately after you jump and tilt your stick.
- Smooth Motion: Aim for a fluid motion from the initial diagonal input to the downward flip cancel. Avoid jerky movements.
- Subtle Diagonal Input: Don’t push your joystick too far to the side when performing the diagonal flip. A slight angle is all that’s needed.
- Practice Flip Cancels First: It’s beneficial to practice regular forward and backward flip cancels before attempting a speed flip to get a feel for the joystick movement and timing.
- Consistency Through Repetition: Speed flipping requires muscle memory. Practice consistently in free play or using training packs designed for speed flips (like Musty’s Speed Flip Training Pack – Code:
A503-264C-A7EB-D282). - Visual Cues: Pay attention to your car’s movement. A successful speed flip will result in a quick, forward thrust without a full flip animation. Your car should stay relatively flat.
For Keyboard and Mouse (KBM):
The concept is the same, but the inputs differ:
- Diagonal Flip: Press ‘W’ (forward) and either ‘A’ (left) or ‘D’ (right) simultaneously with your jump key (usually Spacebar).
- Flip Cancel: Immediately after the diagonal flip input, press ‘S’ (backward) while releasing ‘A’ or ‘D’.
- Air Roll: Press your air roll left or right key (often ‘Q’ or ‘E’) as you land to stabilize.
Learning the speed flip takes time and practice. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right away.
