static help please , tryna get master 2

I get the impression that you are wasting a lot of of tension using it as a
Brake

bitter ocean
#

huh

#

what am i doing wrong ben

bold garden
#

You’re using a lot of counter tension to stop your flicks

#

I would look at addressing that first; it should free up tension in your budget to use elsewhere.

bitter ocean
#

am i going to slow

#

i stop alot to flick then slowly micro adjust but that causes time

bitter ocean

#

Ok; you’re tensing your hand to stop your flicks. You should just let the mousepad friction do it. Your form has shaky landings so you need to either add finger friction or not flick so hard

bitter ocean
#

bought this pad yesterday , also im on 80 cm

#

might be the problem

bold garden
#

Sens is fine

bitter ocean
#

i hate lower cm when it comes to static , i tend to overflick alot and not be as consistant

#

oh really

bold garden
#

You just look not in control of your mouse. I would maybe slow down a little bit and focus on getting really clean and efficient lines and then work your speed back in. There’s always a bit of an adjustment period when you switched to a different pad.

bitter ocean
#

yeah i death grip alot to be more accurate

#

alright cheers ben , ill stop going fast and just practice slowly

bold garden
#

Instead of death, gripping, why not try using your pinky and thumb to dig into the mouse pad more to add friction instead? That way you can use less tension elsewhere.

bitter ocean
#

i try to release tension , but i just cant

bold garden
#

Generally you want to drive most mid range or long range flick with the arm. This gives your hand and wrist and opportunity to reenter itself and relax so you don’t fatigue yourself.

#

Less specifically related to a helping you achieve a higher score… Are you really satisfied with a technique that forces you to be so uncomfortable?

bitter ocean
#

im a wrist player , my pad is kinda small aswell

bold garden
#

I feel like a big part of why we aim train in the first place is to develop a better technique and not just push scores higher

#

Obviously, we do better technique because efficient movements let us score better, but you also want what you are doing to be sustainable

bitter ocean
#

yeah i know what youre saying , im honestly not sure if im comfortable

#

im gonna go ahead

#

and lower my cm though

#

80 is breaking my wrist

#

then just keep playing static playlists

bold garden
#

Being a wrist player is not inherently problematic, but this is not VALORANT; you are doing static clicking tasks with a fair amount of verticality, which the wrist is not well equipped to deal with

#

I would encourage you to start looking at incorporating the forearm into your flick technique so that you have more tension left in your budget in the wrist to do precision tasks.

#

You are going to have to push this delicate part of your hand harder and harder to continue to get results if your technique continues to look like this

bitter ocean
#

ok ok so use more of my arm and forearm to flick . i would have to high lower cm for that because my pad is super small compared to my ac2

bold garden
#

If you are wanting to do some scenarios that help develop arm technique, I encourage you to try some one wall six targets maps at 120 cm. Do not use your wrist or fingertips to manipulate the mouse at all and make the arm do all of the flick work.

bitter ocean
#

120cm

#

thats horrible

#

but sure haha

bold garden
#

Are you trying to get a better score or are you trying to develop your technique?

bitter ocean
#

just tryna get better overrall mate

bold garden
#

Using a super low sensitivity forces, you to flick at distances far too long for your wrist to do so, so it kind of forces you to start using your arm. Overtime, you can turn your sensitivity back up to a faster sensitivity, and you will get a better appreciation for when your arm is supposed to get used.

#

Currently, I can hazard to guess, without looking that you were probably using your wrist to do a lot of flicks that your arm is probably supposed to be responsible for

bold garden
#

This means that your wrist is being overworked with tasks. It isn’t supposed to be doing, which leads to muscle failure and shaking sooner than it should happen.

#

As a result, you are forced to death, grip and reach muscle failure, even faster to compensate

bitter ocean
#

honestly hand was killing me after that

bold garden
#

Doesn’t it sound nice to know that there is a technique that lets you go just as fast but with like half of the exertion?

#

lol

bitter ocean
#

yeah ofcourse it sounds nice , so you recommend using 120 cm on 1w6ts scenarios and getting used to using my arm

bold garden
#

I am not saying to eliminate tension from your budget; I am encouraging you to explore, using every part of the arm to better manage your tension

bitter ocean
#

I am tryna get good aim for one game though , idk what kind of game it is

bold garden
#

Yes; use a super low sensitivity, practice, static maps and only allow your arm to do the flicking tasks

bitter ocean

#

During the arm flick the wrist and fingertips should be completely relaxed.

bitter ocean
#

okay so no tension between wrist and fingertips , fully arm

bold garden
#

The whole point of incorporating our arm into our static technique is to give the wrist and fingers and opportunity to have a micro rest. Muscle muscles function much better when they are given small opportunities to relax during tense moments.

bitter ocean
#

Youre like a real life aiming robot

#

You know everything

#

I really do appreciate the advice though

bold garden
#

Again, you were already performing at a really high level and you were only using 2/3 of your arm. You will find it significantly easier to manage your attention if you just start using the other third.

#

It may also motivate you to buy a larger mouse pad. lol

bitter ocean
#

im using MPC450 , its decent

#

i bought it the other day

#

im definitely alot better at flicking and targetswitching from my old dusty ac2
