Steps

Step-by-step controller inputs, with timing tips and common mistakes, are being written for this mechanic.

Step by step

  • Tip: Stay in your lane. Swinging wide and hooking back turns it into a hook shot.
  • Tip: Let the ball hit the side of your car, not your nose.
  • Tip: Hold powerslide too long and the car spins round and loses its speed.
  • Tip: Practise in free play: roll the ball from the corner, overtake it and cut, on both sides.

Free-play drill: In free play, roll the ball ahead of you, then powerslide around it and hit it with your front corner so it cuts sharply sideways. Practice both directions at slow, medium and fast speed.
