In Grifball as in many other sports – getting control of the bomb often gives a team the advantage. To gain control you have to be faster – or put yourself in a more powerful position. This launch can provide both! The launch can provide a faster route to the bomb, and also provide a different angle of approach (from the sky) to throw off the opposing team.

1. Know where you are on the court! There are 4 members of your team – under normal circumstances you will spawn at the beginning of a round in a line of 4 horizontally across the field at your bomb plant. (see illustration below)
2. For the initial launch you will be holding forward on the joystick in black screen. When you go into the round check your position. Numbers 2 and 3 keep moving forward and after 1 second jump forward. Numbers 1 and 4 should immediately cut in behind their team mates and hammer after 1 second (don’t be too close!).
3. This will provide you with the basic Inside / Outside launch.
4. More advanced players will add a secondary hammer swing to the launch. Number 2 will turn around to look at the back of the court (where they just came from) and hammer. This increases speed and range on their jump… if timed correctly the grav waves from the launchers & launchees will meet and give a significant boost.
