I'm starting to take my Aim seriously (I never thought I'd do it, because I've always been okay with FPS, but I want to push myself further and it looks like I actually suck), so let's see how far I can go. I think posting here will keep me motivated. Using VDIM routines.
Starting Bronze.

I was on VC with some friends and we were chatting, I was bored so I did like 10min of benchmarking (on Switching exercices).
I've ranked up to Silver, and I'm pretty happy about that, even if I'm aware that progress at the beginning is fast.

Whei’s Aim Story

Today was focused on Evasive Target Switching using the VDIM. I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked, but never mind.
Knowing that I'm Silver, I could have used a Novice playlist instead of Initiate in VDIM but it was too hard so I decided to use Initiate for Target Switching.

good luck
i recommend you to sleep btw it can be hard to focus
if u keep being consistent progress will come so gl !
torpid frigate
i recommend you to sleep btw it can be hard to focus
yea, normally I sleep 8 hours and that's enough, but I wasn't disciplined yesterday.
ty !

I don't yet have the fundamentals to train movement aiming, so I decided to do the VDIM "Smooth Tracking" routine, as I'm lacking in this category.
I slept well, my session went well and I felt like I was improving, so I'm happy.
PBs:
torpid frigate
I slept very well, which helped me focus during the routine. I passed the two benchmark exercises in this category in gold complete, so I'm happy.
I've gone up a level in the VDIM routine too (Initiate to Novice), and I can feel the difference.

Yeah I’m about to kill muself it took me 4 days to hit silver and it took you 3 days to hit golf
What have you been doing just vdim?

Everything in this thread yes.
Also remember, everyone have a different starting point, as long as we keep training we will hit our goals, gl

I took a day off yesterday (because I was feeling tired and wanted to play solo games).
Today I did the intermediate benchmark and there's a real jump between Novice and this one.
Not even Platinum yet, there's a lot of room for improvement.
Tomorrow, I'll start playing the intermediate VDIM.

I would suggest trying to vod review any place you might feel stuck. If it doesn't feel challenging enough, you could try doing the advanced and see how it feels, but also keep it moderate enough to actually get practice in. I also had a plateau in speed, being one of my lowest scores in the start, but eventually became my highest.

I feel like i’m not precise enough (as you see my tracking is behind), so i’m not killing target fast enough in TS because I don’t track them good enough

Alright, that was pretty quick
From what I've read, the deep blue is a little slower than the rogue, but by how much I'm not sure, and the fact that g502 weighs more than 100 grams I believe, can make the experience pretty slow.
