A momentum transfer(MT) is when you glide into the ball with speed and grab it retaining your momentum. If done without the ball you just have to glide down and grab it. If done with the ball the following sequence will have to be followed:

  1. Find a way to gain height, you can accomplish this in many ways, for example an airstall, click super, Longhorn, etc.

  2. Drop the ball once the beetle is a bit higher as horizontal in comparison to the ball.

  3. Glide down in a ╰ like manner or J like shape (deep dive).

  4. Grab the ball and enjoy your speed :).

    The momentum transfer technically could refer to any momentum transferred onto the ball but if someone says it in general there will be referred to this way of doing it.

    It can also be done from any height and the higher it is done from the more momentum the player will retain therefore the better in most cases.

Momentum transfer is one of the most basic mechanics in Beetleball and a non-debatable fundamental in the game, it is used to gain speed and outrun enemies to quickly get to the goal in order to score. It can be done from a lot of height or from little but in the end it gives you speed.
