Trying to use ben staudts flicking video warmup

[severe swift]

heyy so static and flicking is defo something i struggle with so i watched bens video and now im trying to do 1w4ts. now im wondering if my movements regarding arm, wrist and fingertip usage are okay (as far as you can see on the handcam lol) and if anyone has any feedback

thanks in advance!

and also maybe mute the vid.. sorry for the music, me and my gf are chilling in the same room

overflicking is still an issue for me as my arm makes me overflick when i try using it

music is tuff

I wouldn’t overthink the blending ideas; you’ll get better over time.

You overflick quite a bit; try and control your flick distance more to make sure you’re putting the crosshair right in front of the bot

That’s what the prep should be for.

Coach Ben Static Clicking VT S5 - Novice: KovaaKsChokingLongCrank

This sharecode has some good axis isolation scenarios to work on your wrist and finger blending

[severe swift]

Sweet, ill give this a try! Ill focus more on controlling the flick distance

[severe swift]

how often and how much do you think would be a good start with this? 1 time a day? multiple times the same scen?

No comment

Play it, take a nap

Train consistently; it’s developmentally appropriate for you

[severe swift]

im consistent with my training but i struggle finding the balance. i currently have a lot of free time so i can tend to overtrain which is mentally and physically bad for me. ill just play it once when i can and leave it at that for now

[severe swift]

hey coach ben, do you have a playlist specifically for smoothing out wrist/arm movements?

[somber sail]

No such thing needed

Play centering easy no strafes 90

15cm to 30cm, 1 cm at a time per run, for pure wrist

25cm to 80cm, 5 cm at a time, for pure arm

Smoothness on a fixed speed comes from getting the right level of tension and staying there

Focus more on avoiding changes in tension that cause shaky, low quality touches, and just be smooth

Avoid the range of motion in the red here

Past this part of the wrist the arm needs to get involved

[severe swift]

okay thanks for the info and great explenation! will give this a try :)

@somber sail heyy, sorry for the ping but i have a question regarding these scens (photo added). are there any key things to think about when doing this scen? it feels weird to do without knowing what im looking to train with it. Thanks in advance!

Time stamped

For diagonal variants you’re supposed to do both joint blending ideas simultaneously

[severe swift]

hmm alright thank you!

still really struggling on VT 1w4ts novice s5 pokeball too

[severe swift]

do you think flick speed here is okay or should it optimally be faster?

if i try to end my flick right before the target i just start dragging instead of flicking

i tried slowing my pace a little, how is this?

Form wise this looks great

Should feel very consistent

In the next few weeks as you keep training static, you need to work on getting the initial closer to the target

Right now you’re flicking about 85-90% of the way and then coasting in

This isn’t awful but we really want the flick more like 95-98% of the distance to the bot

[severe swift]

Meh still feels weird. Ill keep doing the first scen of that list you gave me to speed up my arm movement.

Ill also work on what you said

[somber sail]

Didn’t say normal

Just consistent

Your runs and scores shouldn’t have a lot of variance

[severe swift]

Ah like that, yeah could be

[severe swift]

another question, what sens should these scens be played on? i saw 60/360 somewhere i think when i edited the list but i was wondering if that is indeed the purpose or not
