Fix your Aim with these Tips

One of the most common issues I see in my lessons is moving the mouse inefficiently with improper elbow and forearm positions. Try these tips to be quicker and smoother with your mouse control.

[@mr.lonely_xi1829]

Idk about others but even the height of the table and the chair plays an important role in aiming too so I suggest to get a comfortable height with a proper chair where u can rest ur elbow and that would drastically make ur arms more comfortable to aim. And also the height of the monitor so that it won't hurt ur neck when you play for hours

I actually had this mouse tilting + arm strain problem when I was using a super light mouse (58g) so I switched to a heavy mouse ( 135g) and my problem actually vanished, due to the extra weight my mouse doesnt tilt anymore and my arm stops trying to twist unnaturally

[@ronnyparra5966]

[@ethanwilson1168]

I love the content man! You've been killing it. Quick question for you. I've been doing a lot of aim training and working on mechanics. I've noticed when I'm working on flicks, my hand and mouse always end up sneaking closer and closer to my body/the bottom of the mousemat, even if I'm flicking up and much as down, or resetting to center after every shot. What causes this, and is it a bad thing? thanks again for the videos. Cheers.

when i go swipe my mouse to the right and then centre it without picking it up with few repeatitions like this my mouse starts to move behind where i started and at one point my elbow starts to float in ait and only my wrist is on the table!

[@bknight045]

what are your thoughts on vertical mice? I have one but I'm not playing on competitive fps, but I feel the grip is more natural. when I go back to the traditional mice, my hand tends to shift like when I'm using my vertical mouse.

[@Misery]

look at all those medals flexxxxxx

[@lukas.im.]

Also guys, I would like to mention, to prevent some pain and problems, stretch your arms (wrist especially) before playing, for your tendons it is an activity like any other!

[@b23beatz]

Keep having a problem with my arm locking up trying to microflick have fantastic aim otherwise by the tiny adjustments my arm just locks or tenses up and it's not getting any better idk what to do

[@JordieLifts]

Hey Rambo, so I have consistent aim for the most part but I've been struggling adjusting the angle of my body towards my desk due to my shoulder injury I've had for a long time. I use my arm to aim instead of my wrist. If I angle myself straight forward in front of my desk, it will cause my shoulder to hurt when swiping to the right. Do you have any tips or ideas to help with this? Thanks :)

[@allencloud5342]

I'm not sure if this will help, but I used to play with my forearm resting 45 degrees (to the right) as my "center-position" (also moved my whole mousepad to be in perfect position for this movement) Then I have equal amount of degrees to turn either left or right with my mouse/forearm. It also allowed me for easier and more responsive arm movements, as in it felt like having no restriction to turn left or right as well. I hope this will help you out!

[@pendrive4real]

so can you help me with this thing i do when i like swipe for a flick i dont move my mouse i kinda twist my wrist in that direction instead of moving my mouse.

I have always had too little space on my desk to use my full arm, and have grown accustomed to having my wrist on the edge on the table and only using my hand to aim. Now that I have enough space to use my full arm, I've tried to use it, but after so long of one way, its hard to change. Should I make the effort to change, or should I stay with what I've been doing?

You can get powders/chalk to help with it but really there’s not much you can do, it’s just bad genetics

That's wireless ZA, nice bro

[@mikecupples1234]

Have you ever heard of Floss bands? Nothing Im connected with. Im a trainer - I use them for arm care for throwing athletes and I myself use them before I play any shooters. They are compression based. They can increase your wrist ROM naturally (for a period of time after performing the routine) and I certify it helps with the cold wrist feeling when playing.

[@mikecupples1234]

Another Cool technique that originated from my sports performance background is before playing shooters run your hands under the coldest water you can tolerate, then the hottest you can alternating for 5-10 seconds, 3 total times. Genuine gold trick for when your mouse feels terrible in your hand.

[@SgtCarson]

@@mikecupples1234 will try this thanks man

[@SleepyCS2]

@@mikecupples1234 thanks man ill give this a try. I have days where I feel like I have insane aim and then days where I just feel utter dog and the inconsistences definitely hurts my confidence and we all know how important that is for shooters. Cheers.

[@mikecupples1234]

try something called box breathing. Right when you feel the pressure rise mid game, take note of it. maybe its 4V1 and you have your team spectating you. One of those miserable situations that you'd rather find it easier just throw the round than try and clutch. Try and completely change your breathing to a tempo of 3-4 seconds inhale , 3-4 second hold 3-4 second exhale until the clutch situation ends

[@hemantdave8569]

This mouse what did you do to it ?

[@digitalnation2876]

There is actually one best elbow position, put the keyboard close to your body, and the mouse behind the keyboard, put your elbow on the desk, where your mouse pad currently is,

[@Handle35667]

Reeeee

[@prnm91]

I think the position of your mouse is similar to how you type; everyone is going to type differently. Some people have a straight mouse position, and some people tilt it a little bit. So, there is no correct way to type, and the same is true with the mouse position. What makes the big difference in aiming will comes down to the practice time and the muscle memories.

Hey man cool video, it does leave me with one question tho. In another video you said to try and keep you arms close to your body(for consistency, which I wanna try), but here you admit that having your arm close rotates you hand outwards, and that flaring your arm outwards gets your hand more level?

Im just asking for some answer and it's about sensivity. I used to play 0.67 and 600 dpi on valorant and it felt pretty normal (I'm a wrist aimer) but recent I change to 800 dpi and use a sens converter thing and my sens was 0.503 800 dpi tired it and it was very slow why is it like that?

[@vanfl9911]

Might seem slower but it should actually be faster if I'm not mistaken (should feel faster just because it's a higher dpi so its more responsive) if I were you just switch back to your original dpi and try ot

[@cjfromgtasanadreas]

Table height, same problem here, you need an adjustable table if your chair doesn't go high enough, well, the table would be a perfect solution because you want your chair to not go high, your feet need to rest on fhe floor

[@DamonKraft]

Just jump from console to Pc but I don't understand some things. If I aim with the arm I use my wrist too for fine tunings or just the arm? I neither understand how to make swipes and 360's. Some people tell me to leave my DPI in 400 but what about the sensitivity in game?

[@LSHFT_Eido]

Basically a rule of thumb is set your sens in the game to when you move your mouse exactly edge to edge on your mousepad you will do a 360 in game right back onto a target and then from there do a "my perfect sensitivity chart" to see if it should be higher or lower depending on how you like to aim also the dpi I play with 1600 dpi because it makes the mouse more responsive and cuts back latency I would start at 800 and then up it later thrown the line keeping your sensitivity pretty low to compensate for the super fast DPI

[@DamonKraft]

@@LSHFT_Eido Thanks I will try in my free time.

[@IIHydraII]

Use arm for bigger turns and wrist to micro aim. 800 is the new standard for DPI as it has reduced input lag compared to 400 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHLSg5msbrxkZ5I ). You can use mouse-sensitivity.com to calculate what in game sensitivity you need for each game you play. Try to keep the Cm or inch/360 turn the same across all games for optimal results... the rest is just practice and muscle memory - good luck!
