Flip Reset

## What is a Flip Reset?

A Flip reset is when you restore your flip by landing the underside (all four wheels) of your car on the ball. This can only be done if both jumps are used (or a jump and a flip). A white flash will appear to indicate that you have performed a successful reset meaning you are able to perform another jump or flip without touching a surface. Flip resets can be performed as many times as possible in the air.

Flip resets are used throughout all ranks and are essential to master in order to help you rank up. There are many variations and different ways to perform a flip reset.

## Stalls

Stalling is a very useful and effective way of getting a flip reset. It is used constantly especially in grand champion games. It can be chained together with many stalls and is effective in getting you across the field with control of the ball without needing to boost (except if any adjustments are required). Stalls are often combined with gold shots or purple shots which are effective strategies for scoring. The stall to gold shot is the most common form of attack in the higher ranks, especially grand champion. This is where a player will stall toward the goal and then gold shot the ball.

How to perform a stall:

1. Align the centre of the car with the centre of the ball
2. Jump
3. Half roll so that the underside of the car faces the ball and makes contact with it (make sure this is enabled in settings if you are playing on touch)
4. After receiving the reset, half roll again
5. Repeat

Things to note when stalling:

* If you are starting from the ground, you must jump twice before half rolling because both jumps need to be used up before a flip reset is able to be gained.
* Holding jump when stalling is also recommended because it allows the ball to travel further for each stall and so that your car reaches the ball each time.
* Always make sure the car is aligned with the centre of the ball when stalling. If the car goes off centre after a stall, feather your boost so that the car realigns with the ball before stalling again.

### Turbo Stalls

Turbo stalls involving combining multiple stalls together in quick succession. This can be done vertically or horizontally to move across the field quickly. Turbo stalls are difficult to pull off so it is recommended that you first practice getting stalling slowly but consistently before trying to do them very quickly.

## White shot / rapid reset

A rapid reset or more commonly known as a white shot is when you flip into the ball and get a reset just after flipping into the ball. This can be useful in situations where you need to clear the ball away by flipping into it to get more power, but still be able to get a reset to perform a follow up shot.

Steps:

1. Get the ball into the air
2. Half roll so that the underside of your car is facing upward
3. Position the nose of the car to face the ball and make sure the distance between the car and the ball is about half the distance of the length of the car.
4. Flip forward

## Maktuf reset

The Maktuf reset is another variation of the flip reset which involves using a manual flick to get a reset. The reason for the name is because it looks similar to the Maktuf reset in Rocket League. This mechanic isn't very useful in a match because it is basically a slower way to stall. It does look cool so it is used for freestyling purposes.

Steps:

1. Align the centre of the car with the centre of the ball. Make sure the distance between the ball and the car is slightly more than a stall to allow time for the manual flick
2. Once in the air, jump (without flipping)
3. Manual flick - using the stick, manually turn your car so that the underside faces the ball touches it to get a reset. Make sure this is done very quickly and immediately after pressing jump.
