how to keep my arms "rotational position" constant?

[rapid narwhal]

I noticed multiple times already that i aim better if i rotate my lower right arm counterclockwise, every aspect of my aiming improves.

By rotating it i mean so, that it lies flat on the table. If i leave it naturally i kind of have it rotated clockwise and i do not have the bottom of my arm touch the table, but the bottom right. As soon as i notice and rotate my arm back, every mechanical bit of my aiming gets better and more consistent again.

But i cant keep it in this position for the life of me. Its not that i lack the energy for it. But if i dont actively think about it i rotate back in a matter of minutes. Is there some kind of trick for this?

Ps: dont worry about my setup ib the pictures. They were taken at work, its only to show what i mean

in the counter clock wise position, i think what is helping u is, after testing it myself, the little bit increased tension/control of the pointing finger and thumb muscle area, do u feel it as well
my grip is the middle of them both i think
maybe ur clockwise grip just isnt grippin the mouse in a controlled manner, i can feel my thumb and finger muscle area gettin further away into being more of a distanced fingertip. for example u wouldnt write with a pen with ur clockwise grip u will put a bit more tension into it like counter clockwise, and get the fingers closer

about consistency, just do it non stop for days even if u forget, just when u remember keep doing it, eventually u will form a habit

just make sure ur carpal tunnel area isnt pressing into the pad

Yeah thats one of the things that helps. The other one is that the area where my arm touches the table is more consistent, therefore my friction us more consistent and therefore my aim is too. I dont really wonder why its better. I know its better (for me)

What i dont know is how i can get myself to keep the position 🥲

Just saw. I actually only fingertip with both of them just a bit flatter than most. (Like the whole part after the last joint, instead of tip only)

But you might be right. I probably just have to force myself until i do it automatically 🥲

now if only i could force myself to not choke on angleshot advanced...

Try choking someone else instead, to get it out of the system

Your body moves to what is best for itself. If you can keep yourself in the position where only the right side of your wrist touches the surface but you can improve in it and do better, then you could end up saving yourself from problems with your wrist such as CTS down the road.

Having tried this out myself I think the issue you're running into is when you rotate your forearm counterclockwise, you're essentially "twisting" your forearm muscles and putting tension on them, which causes them to want to rebound back to a normal relaxed state. Your ulna and radius (the two bones in your forearm) do not maintain a parallel relationship when you twist your forearm, and instead begin to overlap each other when rotating your forearm in the way you described, which is most likely contributing to the tension you're experiencing. My suggestion would be to not only consciously try to maintain this position as mentioned before, but to work on your wrist and forearm mobility through stretches, self-myofascial release, self-massage, etc.

noting he specifically mentioned no pain/tension, or do u, op?

[rapid narwhal]

oopsie, i missed that something was updated sorry, yeah no pain or tension at all (both ways)
