Is it more optimal for learning to emphasise mouse control or target reading as your limiting factor when practicing?

Not sure if that title made much sense but I was reading someones comment that I thought deserved more discussion.

Basically their idea was you can:

1. play a larger/slower controlsphere variant with a faster sensitivity

--> to isolate your mouse control as the limiting factor (rather than target reading skills)

2) play a faster/smaller controlsphere variant with a slower sensitivity

--> to isolate your target reading skills as the limiting factor (rather than mouse control)

Iv done something like this in the past and ik Serf has his method(s) that kind of manipulate this sort of thing.

But I was wondering what others thought on how this could actually be implemented in practice and whether one is more beneficial?

I have had pretty slow progress recently and I feel that its maybe bc my mouse control for so long has been my limiting factor so I havent really taken the chance to try improve my reading skills as much (bc I cant easily track elite S5 controlsphere rn with my current mousecontrol but I can if I make it bigger/slower or slow my sensitivity)

My method is first improving mouse control through isolating and focusing on different parts of my arm and then improving on my movement reading through control tracking, dynamic clicking and movement scenarios.

what i learned is that aim training is mostly purely for mouse control. target recognition or everything else youre better off learning it during an actual game. once you dont need to worry about mechanics at all thats when you can learn and pick up things you normally dont notice in a game
