Tracking in general

[dusky grotto]

are you using only wrist on this?

seems like you are constantly flicking and reacting to target rather than reading movement, the long strafes etc, utilize arm more and 42cm is pretty high sens imo on this, i would try something like 50-70cm

[austere ingot]

yes but i don't have that much mouse space on my desk for slower sens

[tepid owl]

atp you're fighting against setup limitations than your own actual aim
aiming solely with wrist and very limited space will give u problems no matter what
need to widen the setup and get some more space

[austere ingot]

ill try switching desks for the meantime when i get home, ill come back with results

[tepid owl]

sounds good

@tepid owl @dusky grotto
I went down to 70cm and saw significant improvement, but i can't help but notice the same issues as i was facing before:
VERY hard time when target is moving right;
jittery movements seemingly out of nowhere

[austere ingot]

i was thinking maybe i should play some regen scenarios to punish my jitterness away from the target, would that help?

[dusky grotto]

its reading problem, think enemy momevemt as 1 straight line and when changes direction do the same

[austere ingot]

hmh i'll take that into account next time

[cursive flint]

please do not play 70cm

try something in the range of 25-40

reading is not bad, youre struggling with matching speed

play centering and smoothsphere variants

[austere ingot]

i see

well one problem i've also noticed is that i play VERY tense

[cursive flint]

yeah dont mask that issue with low sens

[austere ingot]

can't seem to relax my hand

[cursive flint]

70cm in tracking is abnormal

[austere ingot]

yeah i figured

[cursive flint]

you just play centering and smoothsphere variants

and youll be fine

[austere ingot]

i used to be a low sens enjoyer and it did feel cheating 😭

[austere ingot]

will this remedy my tenseness?

or whatever it's called

[cursive flint]

not directly

like, physiologically you can stop tensing

but youre most likely much worse because tensing is helping you with making small adjustments

centering will teach you how to do large sweeping motions while not tensing up, but youll have to stop tensing yourself

[latent jackal]

weakness when moving to the right often times comes from overextension of the wrist

if you're very far into the range of motion you can get shaky

[austere ingot]

i feel the padding of my palms rub against my mousepad when tracking to the right

[cursive flint]

thats fine just change your palm position slightly

[austere ingot]

aight i'll give em a shot on 30cm

[cursive flint]

youre going to be much worse

its ok

[austere ingot]

😰

i've also noticed the speed matching is an issue of mine

[cursive flint]

yea

play centering

[austere ingot]

suddenly i just have this burst of velocity

[austere ingot]

yeah i am

[austere ingot]

mainly when tracking to the right 😓

[austere ingot]

ok got a pb on 30cm on the first try

replay didn't work tho 🥀

[tepid owl]

70cm was way too slow for sure
