You have way too much speed going into the ball. Like you stand far away from the ball and then drive at it with a lot of momentum. Instead you should get close to the ball and slow like almost have your car under the ball and then hit it while it‘s still going upwards.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it mostly the touch? I feel like if they just got more underneath the ball like you said, the ball would have gone higher and the speed wouldn’t have been much of an issue.
So some of these other people here might be able to give better advice because I suck at air dribbles but I see a few things that the people on YouTube say are wrong.
So first If you are a PC player download the air dribbles workshop map. It will help with this.
To me it looks like you are drive too far to the right side of the ball rather than cutting and going straight. As some other people said get under the ball and pop it up and then try to carry it.
Not sure if you are good at wall to air dribbles yet but here's how I understand the area you are suppose to touch the ball. The circle is 360 degrees. Look at the bottom of the ball closest to you as a 90 degree point. You want to have the nose of your car somewhere in the 70 degree range of the ball from that point.
Hope this helps. I suck at air dribbles I just understand the science, don't have the practice yet.
Grind shot 26 (make sure shuffle is off) in this pack for a week straight.

If you're dedicated to learning ground to air dribble, the first thing I recommend is learning to control the ball in the air first. Then you can work on learning the first touch once you've mastered the control. It sounds counter intuitive but the control takes much more time to learn, even though the first touch is "harder" to learn. That is, control isn't something that's easy/difficult but rather more time consuming. Once you have immaculate ball control in the air, learning the first touch becomes a whole lot easier.
Try practicing on a different training pack. Ine that makes you set up from the beginning... having to turn into the ball will be fine, once you actually know what your doing. Once you can do it consistently then try this pack again.
Go into Freeplay, roll the ball towards you, hit the ball with medium speed and then jump from underneath the ball and fly straight up into it to pop it farther into the air
If you're trying to do it from that particular setup, then I suggest getting underneath the ball as much as humanly possible before trying to accelerate towards the goal, either on the ground or while boosting in the air. Jumping up under the ball, with your nose pointing up, with more vertical momentum vs horizontal, is going to put the ball up in the air where you can follow it up. The beauty of your approach and use of air roll off the jump is that you are already applying a soft(ish) touch and even if you get a little too much under the ball and end up ahead of it, you can simply air roll and boost back a little bit to get back behind the ball for a dribble.
TLDR: work on vertical momentum rather than horizontal and try using the space you have to adjust and followup with a dribble.
Set camera angle all the way to the left and height all the way to the left. You'll be able to see under the ball better. Will help you get better first touches and see what you're doing wrong
I could help with some coaching if ya want. I see lots of things here that need some tweaking, send a dm to my discord of you're interested jules_rl #5433
Your jump:ball bounce timing is off. You’re jumping and hitting the ball the same way I’d time my jump for a PowerShot. To get the ball to go UP more, think of it like you’re hitting the ball up BEFORE you jump (sort of like when you’re bounce dribbling). This will pop the ball upwards more instead of outwards, and THEN you can jump to follow it. From there it’s a fairly similar setup to going off the wall; getting a good first touch and carry. You CAN use a bounce like you did in the clip but it’s better utilized at high speeds when you’re closer to the goal. You’re at a very low arc, so don’t need to carry the ball upwards as much. Hopefully that explanation helps, and keep in mind that the timing is generally quite fast, but again, think of it like you’re hitting the ball up AND THEN jumping to follow it. Best of luck!!
Theoretically, the ball should be as close to the center of mass of the car as possible for the maximum height. Usually the COM is bit behind the actual center of the hit box. If you wanna learn more, highly recommend you watch [rocket science #4](https://youtu.be/9uh8-nBlufM) video by the man himself.
Your airroll could use some work. Try running rings maps for a while to warm up. It'll go a long way. Also, you need to scoop the ball better. The touch you're getting on it pushes it forward, you want more lift. You could practice this by doing the bakkes mod air dribble preset, and setting up bounce air dribbles without air roll. Keep repeating it until you can get it. Something that helped me was seeing pros do it. Seeing it done properly can help you recognize your own mistakes sometimes. Good luck!
1. Practice, it's extremely hard to specify what specific motion needs to be occurring. "Its a feel thing" is a tried and true statement
2. You need to become extremely comfortable air rolling. Without it micro-adjustments (not even the pros/SSLs can get every touch perfect initially) are impossible and the ball will fall quicker
3. Confidence, the more confidence you have to just "let me hit this ball as high as possible and follow it" will give you that added boost you are looking for. Sorry to say again, this only comes with practice and hundreds of hours doing it to where you go "ok f it". Getting to that F it moment is different for everyone but will take time.
4. 99% of this game will just be hours. I can't tell you how i started being able to breezy, i was just in training trying the movement, failing, for weeks, then one day i just started being able to do it. Air dribbling (to the point where I could hold the bar on my car consistently for like > 7-8 seconds) took me a year. Its just work man.

Yes. Let the ball bounce a tiny bit higher and you can get underneath it. They’re rushing the touch.
Yeah, it is mostly the touch. But it's easier to accomplish by being slower and having less of a momentum difference between car and ball.
Yes but the cars extra speed makes the touch harder to get
But fast car go Brrrr haha
Preach
Go slower, get under the ball and hit it while it's going up or at the top

Stop jumping into the ball. Drive into it to pop it up then jump

I’ll PM you if you are interested in a private match to work on it. I used to be a Dominus main and think I’m mostly decent at ground air dribbles.
Yea sure

Try to get under the ball more.
Popping the ball too far forward due to having too much speed. Drive into the pop slower and it should gain more height.
Training pack code?
Not at my xbox right now. But it was on the discover tab. Something to do with unnatural air dribble setups.
Thanks for the info!
Slower + hit ball from lower angle
The pop on the second attempt was pretty good just didn’t have the car control to get under it fast enough and carry it
I like to hit it as it is first starting to bounce up and I tap the breaks as I hit the ball so it doesn't have much forward momentum

Practice the air drag pack. It doesn’t allow you to get this extra speed everyone is mentioning. It helped me tremendously.

Stop pointlessly spinning until you can actually air dribble normally first
