  • one click attempt per target
#

Do not spam click, double tap, or double back to click targets you missed

#
  • shoot, then immediately move
#

Do not hesitate after shooting to see if your shot connected.

#
  • do not leave targets until you’re ready to flick.
#

Mentally prepare your next flick as you confirm your shot. Do not flick until you’re ready

#

Submit a new VOD that achieves these guidelines

thanks for the tips

#

those weren't supposed to make you pb

#

those were to fix glaring errors in your form

#

now i can actually adjust your errors since I can see them

#

you have hard landings with a noticeable bounce to them as you land.

#

good chance you're using tension in the forearm and the hand to stop flicks

#

you can't micro effectively unless you save that tension for your fingers to micro

#

you need to land with less forearm tension.

#

bring me a run of this scenario; I want you to try and flick without using the following:

  • fingers
  • wrist
  • forearm
#

ShimmX novice

#

60cm is adequate

#

you can use fingers for targets that are directly adjacent to each other; otherwise the restrictions are in place

#

you see the whole arm move as one unit down to the elbow, yes?

vast quest
#

yes

edgy roost
#

👍

vast quest
vast quest
#

and i did one attempt per target click then immediately move

edgy roost
#

It should feel almost like upper arm / bicep yes?

vast quest
#

yes

edgy roost
#

Ok cool

#

Now we do Y axis

#

ShimmY novice

#

Use this scenario

#

Same thing

#

No fingers wrist or forearm

#

Do all the work with the larger pulling muscles present in the shoulder

vast quest
#

i'm so much slower on the Y axis

vast quest
edgy roost
#

Have you ever pulled on a door?

#

That is Y axis down.

#

Shouldn’t need any forearm tension

#

Look at my shoulder here

#

See how much the upper arm moves as I move around the pad

vast quest
#

yes

edgy roost
#

This will be hard if your elbow is below the desk

#

You might need to sit higher in your chair

#

I think u should be sitting up more

#

Your arm is extended really far out

#

Elbow is up but at what cost? If that makes sense

vast quest
#

i fixed it

edgy roost
#

Ok

#

How about now

#

Y axis not so weird?

vast quest
#

i will try and send vod

edgy roost
#

Nice

#

Your upper arm should be feeling warm from the exertion

#

Ok

#

So the upper arm right?

#

This will help you a lot with the tension in your static technique

#

It is a different pool of tension

vast quest
edgy roost
#

Yes warm; like you are doing a workout

vast quest

#

Muscles should be feeling used in the shoulder

vast quest
#

yes its used i feel

edgy roost
#

Right now, you are doing most of your big motions and small micros with the forearm (red circle)

#

We want to try and get the upper arm and shoulder (blue circle) more involved in larger motions

#

This lets us cover larger distances with a different muscle so we show up relaxed and ready to work

#

Play this scenario on 80CM

#

1w2ts vertical

#

Use the upper arm to do all the big movements and keep the forearm relaxed while it travels

#

When your big arm flick gets there, use your hand to micro to the dot.

#

This is a very exaggerated demonstration of this, but it’s good for beginners

vast quest
#

its 80 cm

edgy roost
#

Ok so

#

This is kind of how it feels yes?

vast quest
#

yes

edgy roost
#

Good; that’s what I wanted to communicate

#

When we use our arm like this it lets us relax our hand in between micros partially

#

Before, you were tensing up your hand and forearm to stop your flicks and you were starting them with the forearm also.

#

So that means using tension twice for one flick

#

And we haven’t even micro corrected yet!

#

You should also feel that with bigger movements if you arm flick it’s easier to land without needing tension to stop

#

If you can use the upper arm to help make big movements more, you will have more energy left over to make swift micros

#

Try 1w3ts again

#

This time try to involve the arm for big movements

vast quest
#

okay thank you

vast quest
#

the spheres are too close to each other i feel like i cant use my arm

edgy roost
#

So we have a new problem yes?

#

The arm

#

Too powerful!

#

😂

#

How do we only use a little bit?

#

Largely this will be for you to figure out as you train.

#

For now, try 80CM.

vast quest
#

okay

vast quest
edgy roost
#

When I was new

#

I would practice on 100 or even 120cm

#

Just so I could even control my arm

#

Over time, I am now able to do this at 50-60cm

#

My goal is not to have you achieve perfect control of this new idea immediately

#

Only to become aware of its presence

#

So you can learn for yourself through training how you can use it to solve problems

vast quest
vast quest
#

am i supposed to hit a new pb rn ? or just train

vast quest
edgy roost
#

So a pb might appear

#

Might not

#

But you’re only using 2/3 of your arm rn

#

So here’s what i want you to do

#

Keep training as usual

#

Focus on not using tension to stop the mouse for your big adjustments

#

At the same time, try to start using the upper arm for particularly large movements.

#

Work on both adding the upper arm into some of your movements, as well as trying to reduce the number of shaky landings at the end of your flicks

#

Pokeball scenarios are your friend here

#

Once you feel like you have done a decent job of implementing both of those ideas into your play, a new high score should be easily available to you

vast quest
edgy roost
#

If you want something to try right now

#

Just do 1w3ts at 80CM

#

What I am telling you otherwise is stuff to practice for the next few weeks

vast quest
edgy roost
#

If you want; we are making a lot of changes all at once so I am not necessarily expecting a new personal best from you right away

#

You can send one anyway, so we can both see whether you are implementing these new ideas into your run though.

vast quest
#

i feel like i'm missing a lot of shots even tho i am rlly focused on flicking with upper arm micro with hand

edgy roost
#
  • before you shoot, do two things:
  • confirm your shot looks good
  • mentally prepare your next flick and tense for the next movement

Do not shoot a Target until you have both confirmed and prepared your next shot. Once you are ready, shoot and immediately move.

#

Adding in this short pause should help you stay focused and keep your accuracy high. Once your flow state appears and you get to hang of it, reduce or remove this small extra pause as needed.

vast quest
#

and sometime im about to do a new pb and like 1 miss and its over

edgy roost
#

You’re still not confirming enough

#

Forget about PB for a minute

#

Add a full pause and come to a stop after your micro is done

#

Just bring me a run where you have good flicks, secure confirmations, and then shoot and immediately move

#

And 4 misses or less.

#

I’ll kick it back if you miss more for now

#

Nice

#

Some of these look really good

#

And you should be feeling nice on these runs

#

A consistent problem I’m seeing is that you’re overflicking by quite a bit

#

However

#

We just implemented something new to help our flicks yes?

vast quest
#

yes

edgy roost
#

So that will get much better in a few days

vast quest
edgy roost
#

IMO this actually looks pretty good

#

Let’s play one where flick accuracy isn’t as important

#

Find a static variant with more medium sized dots

#

Twice as big as these preferably

#

Doesn’t have to be a bench scenario

#

Let’s try some of this stuff on more comfortable dots

vast quest
edgy roost
#

Hmmm

#

There’s a billion

vast quest
edgy roost
#

Looks great

#

Let’s try this one so you’re not so stuck in the weeds on flick accuracy for now

vast quest
edgy roost
#

Looks good and there’s no heaviness here at all

#

Alright

#

I think you’re in a good spot

#

Your flicks have degraded a bit in response to new ideas

#

Give it 2 weeks to absorb into your skull

#

Here’s a playlist to use with these ideas while you absorb them

#

Coach Ben Static Clicking VT S5 - Novice: KovaaKsChokingLongCrank

#

IMO looks good tho 👍

#

I see nice things happening

#

Keep working on involving the arm when you think it works, and keep working on reducing shaky landings

edgy roost
#

I think so too

#

This playlist will be good for you

#

Once your flicks have good accuracy again

#

Play the harder playlist
