#Flick Tech: Overflicking Issues.

Hello! I've been trying to implement Coach Ben's flick control video into my technique. Ive been practicing breaking up my flick into 4 parts, initial, micro, prep, and shoot+move. I also try to implement 3 different types of flicks, long, short, and micro, and I feel like no matter how I visualize it or mentally think about it, I cant stop overflicking without dragging. I have a vod here if anyone wants to look. I understand I might need to practice more but I was wondering if there are any APPARENT problems in my technique that I cant evaluate myself.

Here is my vod, it has an unfinished run + finished run. (finished run starts at 0:40)

Note: Ive been gold complete but I cant get close to my gold score on multiclick novice 😭

Too low target acquisition: shooting without actually seeing the target.
Too high target acquisition: visually verifying that your crosshair is perfectly on the target before shooting.

i think i understand what you're saying

#

i cant go for speed if im too focused on NOT missing

#

that's one thing in the video was mentioned, not being too focus on your past target. just shoot and move

#

dont double back, multiclick

#

right

It’s strange that you’re playing Season 4 when Season 5 is already available. Is there a reason for that?

#

this scenario was suggested to me by coach ben because of it having the ability to train good fundamentals as well as peripheral vision targetting

#

oh nice

#

ive also been doing viscose benchmarks, i just hadnt touched aim training in a grip

Flicks are characterized by a fast initial

#

Dragging just means that you’re applying force to the mouse the whole time

#

Imagine if you can only touch the mouse right at the beginning and then not again

#

How much force is needed to get the mouse where it needs to go?

#

here's an example of me adding a length pause during my confirm

#

about halfway through, I reduce, or remove, this pause, and increase my pace

#

but nothing really changes from what i'm doing

idk if this is just me, but this video is just sound w/ 1 frame

#

might be a discord issue

#

its a fairly large file

#

if you're on mobile

#

love discord

#

hold on

#

let me do some YT uploads

#

they should work better

#

thank you, appreciate you a lot

#

flicking is complex

#

even if you explain it exhaustively, its hard to learn right away

#

the important thing is to get you flicking

#

you can't get good at flicks without doing a lot of them\

#

when you're new, I want your runs to look like this

#

an exaggerated pause during the confirm

#

use this to correct errors during your approach, and prepare the next flick

#

you don't need to score a lot if you're warming up

#

the goal is to warm up your flicks not push a high score

#

once these feel good, just take the pause away and you can go faster.

#

trying to push pace without warming up your confirms and preps leads to disaster

#

since you cut corners on the most important part of the movement (lining up your shot and preparing your next movement)

#

here is an exaggerated example of what I think you currently look like

#

dragging manifests as you constantly having to give the mouse new force to deliver it to the target

#

we want to cross 90-95% of the gap with one application of force, and all that speed needs to occur in the first 10% of the distance.

#

even if your flicks suck

#

flick anyway.

#

you need to be flicking

#

if you drag because you fear bad flicks, you are hidiing behind technique

#

and not actually engaging with what improves your skill

#

makes a lot of sense, i'll start implementing this advice and let you know how it goes. thanks again!

#

this scenario is also somewhat complex mechanically

#

its omnidirectional

#

play the 'Shimmy' variants in this kovaaks playlist

#

they will serve as useful isolation for you to work on blending X and Y axis movements with the wrist/arm and fingers/arm respectively

#

I believe that process should be handled by autopilot, but I don’t have the rank yet to defend that claim.

#

and requires trust

#

your brain needs to know where the hand is gonna go

#

that requires repetitions

#

well. maybe those hours wasnt wasted jeje

#

It should feel good too

#

The word I like is scalable

#

If you’re feeling hot? Reduce the pauses

#

If you starting to feel your control slip? Add them back in

#

It’s kind of like your own throttle you can adjust as you play

#

That way you don’t spin out, and throw runs by missing a ton

#

i dont feel comfortable yet but it's just practice more

lyric wolf
#

Should feel like you’re actually doing the thing

#

At your own level

#

All the information in the flick control video should feel like it makes more sense now that you’ve addressed your dragging problem

fathom kernel
#

i agree, i felt myself using the 3 different types (not necessarily micro but) it felt more implemented into my aim. I appreciate all your help, I'll let you know if I make more conclusions

fathom kernel
#

I have been starting to see more of my flicks happen in game rather than just dragging. I still think I struggle on the breathing part of clicking though as I arrive at the end of a flick and shake my mouse a little. Just time though, again thank you for the advice if you see this!
