I started my aim training on Tuesday and I have gone up to silver within a few days. I've already noticed great improvement in my aim and tracking.

#

Today was a rough day I managed to get a few new highscores but the rest I feel like i did worse than usual and its kinda of frustrating doing it over and over again just for it to not go up at all and my averages barely went up

#

also for some reason my pinky hurts every single time i aim train and i dont know if im over using it or putting too much pressure on it

#

I also noticed that whenever im on a roll with static and I dont miss as soon as I miss one I miss everything else

#

If anyone has any tips it would be much appreciated thanks!

Today I lowered my sensitivity. I realized that my sens was too high and was making me miss a lot of micro adjustments so I went from 15cm to 30cm it took sometime to adjust but I managed to get some highscores today and even move some scenarios to silver

Also any advice on how to properly reset my mouse positioning? I feel like when I am doing a tracking scenario my arm always goes to an uncomfortable position or it is nearly falling off the desk

#

I'm no expert but the way I usually do it is I wait for a moment of deceleration during tracking where I can quickly reset my mouse. You will also get used to resetting quicker as you aim train more. As you get more advanced, you can eventually mitigate the amount you need to reset - when doing the "centering" type scenarios it can actually point out this issue - for me, for example, my mouse slooowly migrates down my mousepad as the scenario goes down. I can mitigate this by counteracting the angle my shoulder is placing on the mouse by using my wrist. So I'm actually very slightly counter aiming my arm by using my wrist/fingers

No problem ❤️ don't overthink it, in the beginning just developing your mouse control is most important and will give you very fast improvement. As time goes on though you can focus in more on the small details

#

Also I guess I didn't ask but it depends on how much desk space you have too, if you have a tiny mousepad it could be worth spending 30 bucks to get a bigger one

I think that's enough space, it's probably about what I have

fossil dagger

#

well now it's DEFINITELY enough space 😂

fossil dagger
#

Yep lmaooo

#

Hit some new highscores today my arms is hella tired

#

My psalmTS and skyTS are both lacking maybe ill try again later today

#

But atleast im finally getting new highscores

#

I also removed weights from my mouse (LogiTech G502 Hero) and honestly I like the lighter weight a lot more

#

Yeah ive been doing the 60cm like you told me

#

and my arm got really tired out

#

so i took a break and went back to 45cm and it felt a lot better

#

so thank you very much for your help!

I hit a few more highscores today and got Pasu and bounce to gold

#

Im still tracking with all the switching senarios i feel like those are probably my weakest right now

#

cant seem to get psalm and skyts out of bronze

#

Ill probably take a break tmw wont really have time to train

lyric bridge
# fossil dagger

nice both your dynamic is gold! ts especially sky is very speed dependent as well ass accuracy. sky is fast flicks and accuracy and psalm is that and smoothness. try to remember that idea when you play it again. send in a vod or two on it n we can see how we can help

fossil dagger
#

Sounds good thank you

#

Mostly likely will send a VOD on Sunday gonna be busy this weekend

lyric bridge
#

heard that brother have a great weekend

fossil dagger
#

I havent really had time to aim train past few days

#

I got a couple highscores

#

Still stuck at psalm and skyts

fringe nymph
# fossil dagger Yeah ive been doing the 60cm like you told me

i have an unpopular opinion on these matters that i think is valid:

opions is that your aim in game can be high if within a reasonable range. for reference i run 20cm in val and most of my benches in voltaic are currently done on 20-30cm sense.

now the caveats:

you should be training on both very high sense (10cm or something) and low sense (60-80cm) when you train so that you train arm and wrist control exaggerated

the purpose of aim training is mouse control and as long as youre training that you will improve. 20cm is like 600 edpi which some pros run in val and many run in other games. also true aimers can do pretty well for a large range of senses

fossil dagger
#

Okay thank you for the advice!

lyric bridge
fringe nymph
# lyric bridge 20cm in val is criminal

it is for a lot of people but there are pros that run 800 or even over 1000 edpi in that game and 20cm is only 640 edpi or around that. its absolutely not mandatory to run 80cm sense like some people do.

#

it is also more justified if you tend to take closer range fights like i do in that game

lyric bridge
#

i mean yeah like neon you can go like 45 but 20 is outrageous lol

#

even tenz doesnt play that high

fringe nymph
#

ill likely switch to .3 sense eventually but i cant be bothered right now. i said i bench 20-30cm but its actually .2 or .3 sense @ 1600 edpi. i do much better in static with that sense but my play style in val isnt too reliant on precise small micro corrections and instead needs faster imprecise flicks for the most part because i play tight angles in/with smokes usually. realistically val isnt super aim heavy anyway, the game is mostly about crosshair placement and tactics. i already have a significantly higher gunfight win chance than 50/50 against people my current rank in a 1v1

@lyric bridge

lyric bridge
#

no not saying it’s not possible js not recommended

#

hence it being insane

#

there’s a reason there’s a suggested sensitivity

#

also idk what rank you are but like i made it to plat off 30cm so i dont even reslly think its insane compared to that but rather that now i would rather anywhere from 60-90cm

#

almost pushed me to diamond when i played still and i think i was like barely plat on kvks

#

i’m not sure you understand the difference between a sens tho, there’s no best sens, there’s no bad sens. unless ur on like 5cm or 100cm but like it’s all more of your control of your mouse. any top player can play at 20cm or 90cm because they have the mouse control. matty does it.

fringe nymph
#

well yeah thats why i think a "recommended sense" is mostly propaganda

#

you can be good with anything with practice

#

it wont really matter that much as long as you train a variety to focus on both arm/wrist control

#

so what im saying is (and the whole point of this convo) is that OP doesnt need to worry about playing some recommended sense, just training at a variety of them.

I got a new highscore in 1w6ts today

tbh ive been feeling unmotivated so ive just been kinda isolating one scenario and then just grinding it out

Mostly because my scores are just not really moving and ive just been getting pretty frustrated with it

nah i get that i had that too. but when you can’t seem to get your scores moving there’s an error on your part. on your technique speed and accuracy. whenever you play and your scores aren’t improving you have to instead take the time to sit there and learn what you’re doing wrong and try to improve with that. your progress is already pretty good so you gotta realize that you can’t get a new pb every run. im sure if you took a day or two where you practiced your technique and stayed consistent everyday practicing you’ll improve

Well Ik since i havent been able to get a new highscore in skyts and psalm so probably speed but i dont exactly know how to improve speed

lyric bridge
# fossil dagger Well Ik since i havent been able to get a new highscore in skyts and psalm so pr...

basically make skyts like a static scenario with js a bit more smoothness skyts is hard to push anyway so its okay. but to get more speed you literally flick your arm faster with more tension. so for about 75% of the flick you are tense and the rest is untensed where you slow down for a micro. the way you get more speed is play widewall scenarios where it forces you to flick harder and be more accurate. once you can go faster while being accurate (like 95% or higher) then you have gotten faster. but the best way to improve speed is to speed up your flick and even if you cant do it perfectly and you overflick a lot literally just think about underflicking as you flick. then youll be faster. for psalm im pretty sure thats the one that moves if im correct? if thats true focus more on smoothness on it than speed, speed is essential in any scenario especially for ts but the first thing you should work on is your landing to make sure its smooth on the landing and smooth til its killed then switch. try to target the ones that just switched directions to make it easier as well. and sometimes you wont get a hs and thats okay as long as you play and notice your problems. send in a vod and lemme see if i can help you, but make sure to see the patterns im pointing out for you so you can notice them yourself and work on them accordingly. you also dont have to play the benches to get hs you can also use them as practice as well. a thing you can also do is watch better players vods. like minigod or matty for whatever scenario and compare it to your vod and see what the difference is (not just the speed) theres a technique to everything and mouse control.

#

sorry for the yap

#

but heres one from me my diamond score its obviously not like minigod or matty but it is a bit more realistic where you're currently at

Make sure you approach each training with focus on technique specifically. If youre confused on what to focus on, watch the youtube videos for the basic techniques.

For beginners and each scenario, general tips are:

Clicking: start with a fast flick that lands as close to the target as possible, then follow with a slower microcorrection

Tracking: focus on looking AT the bot rather than at your crosshair.

Reactive tracking: same as tracking but dont react too strongly to smaller directional changes

Target switching: this is a mix of clicking + tracking (smooth for speed reactive for evasive)

Dont worry about scores for ANYTHING other than the actual benchmark. You should be training VDIMs which is basically a playlist of scenarios that builds you up to the benchmark.

Your scores are a proxy of you getting better, not the other way around.

Also, keep in mind that improvement will generally happen the day AFTER your training. This is a result of the neural pathways in your brain being strengthened overnight. Dont sweat it if your scores dont improve day of, theyll likely be better next day.

#

The VDIM doc has an entire playlist of videos about what techniques to follow for each training type as well, you can watch those for reference prior to training. Ill link you the kovaaks one in a second since that seems to be what youre focusing on

You should hit the speedts it should be easy to elevate

fossil dagger
#

Im going to take a break today

#

ive been trying to get those

fossil dagger
#

I took a 3 day break and did the smooth VDIM today and it felt a lot easier than before i also got a new highscore for every scenario including smooth bot and preciseorb

#

Just 13 more energy and i am finally gold
