grip unconfortable

[quaint wolf]

Good morning,
I'm currently playing with a Lamzu mini pro but I can't find a comfortable grip for playing Valorant. Same with a g pro superligth / Starligth 12 medium.
But above all I think that nothing is comfortable for me because I think about it, I am looking for the most optimized for flick, I just want to be an impressive player. Do you have any advice, because even after a break I can't not think about it?
In addition, if you have any advice for love in general I will take
(I have a basic hand, 19x10) Thanks in advance (sorry for my english)

To point out: grip is preference. There is no "optimal grip" that makes you massively excel at specific aim types. So if your "discomfort" is related to having somewhat inconsistent aim, then know that your grip is not the issue. That is a technique issue that you have to improve simply by aim training.

If your discomfort is however related that you cannot find a consistent grip on the mouse, or even some form of aching/pain, then you simply need a new mouse. Both the Lamzu mini and Starlight 12 are pretty small mice and the Gpro is on the bigger side, so you need to make sure what exactly is causing the discomfort.

What is your general/default grip though? Claw, fingertip or palm?

[quaint wolf]

Yes it's inconsistent and I can't find much that I like without thinking about it, I love both mice but the only time I don't think about it is when I play lol ahah.
My default grip is a kind of finger/claw, I hold the mouse with my fingertips, not stuck to my palm there is a small space between but the palm is placed on my mouse pad

[covert oxide]

I see. the starlight is I believe often praised for the fingertip. Another option could be is the Pulsar X2 or X2 mini.

But I think you thinking about it is the issue. You just want to "grab the mouse" and focus on the game. Whatever your hand defaults to is your grip. As long it doesn't cause pain then it is fine

[quaint wolf]

Okay I doubt it a little yes, but regardless of the grip, as long as I train properly I could be just as good as the big players. I really like Tenz, I know that I often try to test these grips, I expect to be as good as him because I use his grip ^^

[grizzled quiver]

i think if u want to find a comfortable grip u should try each grip for like an hour before u decide if its u like it or not, i remember thinking claw grip was super uncomfortable but after getting used to it, claw grip became the most comfortable grip for me and the other grips actually felt less comfortable

[covert oxide]

But like I said, your mouse grip has no impact on your performance 😉 so no point in copying what other people do.

[quaint wolf]

yeah ahah Tenz fan what you want ahahah yeah thank's for the response ! i just wanna work hard !

[quaint wolf]

Excuse me, i try the benchmark valorant, after this i just train where i'm low we are okay ? but i see your response, one sens for tracking, flick etc is better for train aim ? if i play only with one sens is bad or just not recommended ? sorry for my english one more time

[covert oxide]

It is fine to train on the Valorant benches if you want to train your Valorant-specific aim things only.

And yes, within the aim trainer it is viable and advised to use different senses depending on the scenarios you play, given that you are training different muscle groups and aiming aspects. Certain scenarios also won't work well on different scenarios. For instance, if you use a 70cm/360 sensitivity, it would be too slow for tracking scenarios.

[quaint wolf]

Oh okay I see, so if I do higher tracking, for static a little sensitivity and for multicilbe between the 2 if I understood correctly

starting from my basic sensitivity (0.4 for 800 dpi) I increase by 25% and go down by 25% depending on the scenario, it shouldn't be too bad I think ^^

👍

[quaint wolf]

thank's you so much for your time !

[quaint wolf]

Hello, excuse me
I finished the benchmark and did it again, where I have a lot of trouble is tracking. Are there exercises external to the benchmark or spam is the benchmark good? And I would like to know, consistency comes with time I suppose? haha
Finally, is there a difference between koovac's and aimlab or just a question of preference?
Thank you in advance once again.

[covert oxide]

I would use the precise tracking scenario in the VDIM playlist to work on your tracking. Much better than the limited options in the benchmark: LG56's Daily Improvement Guide
KovaaKs: https://bit.ly/LG56VDIM
Aimlab: https://bit.ly/VDIMdoc

And yes your consistency will come with time, but do note that it will take a lot of time and that it is also normal to have peaks and dips in your performance. Some days you will play/better worse than others. It is normal.

Kovaaks and AL choice is indeed preference. It depends on what kind of features you want. Kovaaks has a wider selection of scenarios and allows you to timescale (slow down) certain scenarios, but Aimlabs has an integrated VOD/replay system and currently has the Valorant benches which are really good.

[quaint wolf]

ok thank's for this and yeah logic, we not at the best all time ahah
if one last question sorry, but what exactly is called static? like the micro adjustment is in the flick category I think...thanks again!

Have you a tiktok/ytb channel for follow you ? t's super nice of you to take the time to respond so if I can give a little strength ^^

[covert oxide]

"Static" refers to the tasks where the bots don't move, AKA they are "static".

Don't have a channel, or at least not a channel where I post stuff on, but thanks for the interest 🙂

[quaint wolf]

Thanks to you !

[quaint wolf]

Hello @covert oxide excuse me for the ping but i have more question if you have the time for help me ^^'

[covert oxide]

Go ahead. I might respond sooner or later. Will be heading out for dinner in a bit.

[quaint wolf]

I thank you in advance! good dinner ^^
So I've really been dragging for a few weeks but I keep changing mice, does that have an impact? I don't think so but I'm still asking. And is doing 4 hours of aimlab/day a good thing? or not ?

[covert oxide]

It doesn't matter, but don't change mice around thinking as if one will apply some sort of "aim buff" to you. Use a mouse that feels the most comfortable in your hand in terms of your hand size, grip and shape preference.

And is doing 4 hours of aimlab/day a good thing? or not ?

It is a little excessive but not that much of a problem.

Average recommended time is 30 minutes to 2 hours max given you eventually hit diminishing returns. 3-4 could work if you take a lot of breaks but honestly I wouldn't push it further than 3 hours

[quaint wolf]

Ok great thank you, and yes I suspected that about the mice thank you

[quaint wolf]

Hello,
So for several days I have been training at first a lot on the tracking and already this sense in my aim, (small clip for fun), so currently I am going to try to pass diamond everywhere in the benchmark, then asc etc. ..
In any case it works well, thank you!
By the way, my grip changed on its own without paying attention to it and it suits me very well ^^
I just have one last question, for the switching and flicking category do I keep my sensi with which I play or do I also edit?
Thank you again!

[covert oxide]

The general ranges are: 20-35cm for tracking, 30-50cm for dynamic and switching, and 40-80cm for static. So jus do what fits
