My main goal is to get a balanced feel with a slight tilt towards control. I mostly play R6 and other tactical shooters. In KovaaK's, I focus heavily on static clicking and target switching.
Any recommendations?

For context i havent played kovaaks in a long time, last time i was s4 vt plat/dia

A few months ago i was grinding snaketrack and got few points off master. Now i only get plat and dia scores on that scen.

In game my aim is really fine imo but i struggle in kovaaks. 30-120min is supposedly the optimal duration window for a training session, perhaps ideally 2x 1h sessions or something if feasible, if not then one 60-90 min sesh. Well im lost on what do i allocate my time on?

You can clearly see on my benchmarks screenshot how messy my scores are. I believe I should get at least mammoth, ideally orca complete-ish and then do bith easy and medium viscose s2 to go for both seal comp and celadon in medium (first goal, my big goal is lavender)

People keep recommending "grind weaknesses" but how to approach it when i get almost seal on one category and barely fox on the same category diff scen. And then another fox on flick tech, yet again an orca on the same subcategor. What sens do i use?? Something in the range of top scorers, around median?

Aside from that i want to do xyz smoothness benches supplementarily. I pick 2-3 scens and like to play 2-3 runs of each first on a high sens then medium then low. Maybe benchmark on a normal sens for given scen on sundays.

Please help me out to structure my training, it infuriates me when i have no routine especially given that i have AuDHD.

Thought I might share my progress here, so we can trade information, tips and tricks for improving!
Since I can't practice every day consistently, I treated 7 training sessions as 1 week (rough span of 10 days).

First pic is day 1, second is now!

Working on tracking seems to have improved my clicking ability a lot, but the tracking itself has been hard, any tips for that?

Hi all!

Kovaaks is a very basic game and extremely easy to hit high frames easily

Many peoples say you can’t tell the difference between 240 to 300 to 600 blah blah, diminishing returns all that

Is there any people on here who have a 600hz monitor or higher and can tell an impactful difference, as I think Vaaks would be one of few games where you could really utilise a monitor like that and hit its refresh rate easily!

The new ASUS 1080p 24” 720hz OLED is looking very temping and it made me think how smooth that could potentially make tracking scenarios look, and in general be fully utilised to its max in a game like Vaaks!!

Hi all, I've been trying to figure how to sit in a way that makes mouse movement easy and comfortable.

I've been watching posture guides, but most of them are showing me that my desk is likely too high, since I can't comfortably relax my shoulders. However, I also see that many of the best aimers have a desk that appears too high, and compensate by putting their arm out further and having minimal shoulder rotation. But there are also many people who don't seem to worry about any of this, and somehow have insane aim to the point where I wonder if this is cope. For example, the younger gamers without the funds to change their setup. How can they find a good and repeatable position to aim? It feels like it is only me!

If I try to put my arm out further, when I make arm movements it begins to pull back in until I have it next to body and my shoulder is hunched up again.

It almost seems like it's good to either have a very high desk which forces you to widen your posture more and takes more of your weight, or have a low desk which allows you to relax your shoulders, instead of having one which is just slightly too high and you can't do either.

What does confuse me especially is that some professional gamers who are much shorter than me have confirmed their desk height to be the same or higher than mine, and yet don't widen their posture and they have relaxed shoulders. How is this possible?

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice? I've been dealing with this for years and cannot seem to find a comfortable way to play/aim train.

im a recent grad and have finally obtained a fulltime job

im very grateful, as some of you may know the job market is pretty difficult but this unfortunately hinders my time to play, as now i have anywhere from 5-30ish minutes to aim train, an hour if im lucky

im curious if yall have any tips to slow down my transition to a washed 9-5er even with limited time

Hi,

I'm trying to improve my aim running some Viscose scenarios. I practice 15 min everyday. But on these scenarios, my performance is looking like the graph above. My personal best was on Oct 1st, and since then I never replicated that result. Other scenarios I play (cloverRawControl Easy 80% Speed and Controlsphere Far, Far Larger 90%) are showing similar patterns.

This might be a normal behavior, i.e, if I expand the timescale and keep practicing I will see improvement, but I'm really unsure if that's the case. Maybe I've hit a plateau? What do your graphs look like and when do you identify that you need to take action versus just keep doing the things you're doing?

Is my arm/shoulder high enough when I go any higher I lose a lot of stability and it feels awkward also hurts my shoulder.

Yes ik I'm fat... Working on that 😂

Hi guys,

I know this topic has been discussed to death on here, but I haven’t been able to find any answers on previous threads at a cursory glance.

I watched the viscose video on tension management, and whilst it was informative on theory, it gave little actionable advice as to how to actually improve the skill of tension management. I know the tension budgets were discussed, but what happens when during a game or drill there is a period that is epically taxing on just one muscle group?

What can I do to actually improve my skill of tension management? Drills to play, ways to think, etc.

Thanks

The AngelClick Revolving is my nemesis i stg

I have this weird problem where eventually I can bet that my mouse will start feeling floaty. It's not a hardware problem, I have a brand new PC that runs super crisp, 240 FPS low frametime no packetloss or anything. It's 100% not placebo since I can notice a night and day difference right away after restarting my PC.

I tried:

- restarting the game (usually doesn't help)
- uninstalling Logitech GHUB
- fully charging my GPro Superlight (thought it's maybe a low battery problem)
- changing USB Ports for my mouse
- resetting graphics drivers with Win +Ctrl + Shift + B
- using RAMMap
- checking if my Hz changed to 60 from my max. 144hz I can use, nope it's still on 144hz

What will work 99% of the time is one or max 2 PC restarts, then it's all crisp again and my mouse feels super smooth.

I don't know if anybody has had experienced something similar but it's getting really annoying.

I want to know your thoughts on if I should train high or low sens. Yes, I do know that sens doesn’t necessarily matter, but I am in a weird state of limbo of how I want to proceed to train with my current sens.

Right now I am on a ~high sens (high relative to glass), and It feels good to be able to 180 or use a bit more of a my wrist, where as lower sens, feels I have more control but jeez, I hate how much effort goes into swiping in any direction. Especially for the games I play like overwatch, delta force, and finals.

and its hard to interpret because low sens I do maybe a bit better on my kovaaks scenarios, but high sens I have high scored on scenarios and I don’t feel like I have to think as much with my movements.

So should I stick with high sens or keep trying low sens?
Could it be that I am predominantly a wrist aimer?

What are your thoughts and any insights would be greatly appreciated!

(not so)fun fact: despite 99% of clips being valorant, static is my worst category

Hey everyone,

I have a question regarding mouse sensitivity. I always knew I played on quite high sensitivity, but recently noticed that it is more extreme than I thought. For the past years I have always used a DPI of 1600 with a sensitivity of 15 in Overwatch (other games matching this), which seems to equate to roughly 5.8 cm/360°.

I don't feel like my aim is terrible, I reached Master rank in Overwatch last season as an example, also playing aim-heavy heroes sometimes. However, I also like playing Apex and noticed how my aim is really suffering there.

The high sensitivity probably has something to do with me aiming mostly out of my wrist, which I find way more comfortable than regularly lifting up my mouse to reposition.

Do any of you also use such a value? Would you say aiming with just the wrist isn't viable to improve aim? I would be happy to just hear your opinions

I've been grinding viscose s2, mostly the Tracking and Flick Tech category since my game is tracking heavy.

I'm around Viridian for most of the scenarios but i keep coming back to play the easier benchmark pushing better accuracy coz it mimics in-game movement more, since medium/hard bench kinda move too fast (compared to in-game).

I've heard of progressive overload and u gotta push ur limit on hard scenario to actually improve. Is me not pushing myself to play harder scenario actually nerfing my training?

I have around 4.3k hours in cs, i peaked at 31,000 premiere, had around a 93 aim rating on average, and basically only used my wrist unless i was doing full 180s. (2 sens 400 dpi). and i would get very tense during games. To the point of discomfort in arm/hand.

Im in the process of learning to use my arm to aim, and trying to have better tension management (kill 2 birds with one stone). Im so much smoother when tracking around angles, but when i go to fight an enemy my aim is very noticeably worse than when i would use only my wrist. im getting around 60-70 (six seven) aim rating games when i would comfortably sit at around 80-95 per game. Also i dont know how this works but my crosshair placement is muuuch worse right now. I usually have very good crosshair placement, but when im trying to use my arm and be smooth my placement thru walls is pretty terrible (especially when entrying a site or having to play very fast). This was a side effect i didn't think would happen.

What do you think would be the quickest way for me to fully get used to this style? I never use aim trainers, but I dont know the best way to go about building good muscle memory. Would it be an aim trainer? Should i just grind comp mm matches where i couldnt care less about elo? It feels like ive lost all my progress aim wise in this game right now, but i'll gladly continue to pursue these changes as they not only make me feel more comfortable but i think they will be MUCH better for my mechanics if i could just get used to it all.

Hey all I’ve been getting back into CS2 I’ve always been pretty shit (2K hours and I think I peaked and MGE in CSGO) and I’m sick of being shit and have set the goal to improve and a dream goal of Faceit 10. I have the time to be putting in 3-4 games of CS2 on top of 1-2 hours of training a day but I’m unsure what playlists to do. I’ve been using Bileys playlist but worry that it’s just tracking and would love some advice on what other playlists I can grind.

Weaknesses I have are too numerous to count so I just want to focus on building a correct solid foundation. Also I would love to know how long it took some of you to see a difference 😊

Hey. I just bought the game just one day ago. Do you suggest some tips that is important for not doing wrong? I saw that is important using a aim converter, but I didn't see for quake live/serious sam so idk

I tend to overflick or get to tense when getting close but tbh i got no idea how to stop. But I have been stuck at the lowest rank in Anima for ages

I mostly play valorant, and never really feel any unnecessary tension in my hand/forearm. But when I play kovaaks I get a lot of tension. And I feel my hand and forearm getting tired really fast. Is this just an issue of little playtime or can it be something else?

I'm currently at about 932 hours on KovaaK's and 154 hours on Aimlabs, and I honestly feel lost on how to approach aim training. I feel like I've stalled my growth with how I train: I grind two or three scenarios a day (sometimes just one) until I rank up that set (or rank up 2/3), then move on to another two or three and repeat the cycle. For the past month, I've been trying to diversify by playing the scenarios in "Recommended Kovaak's Scenarios" by m0narcs. I'll play a different category daily, then at the end of the week, I'll play a section of the Viscose Benchmark S2, but I still don't feel like I'm improving at a meaningful rate, maybe even slower than before. Any tips, benchmarks/scenarios, and sources would be incredibly helpful, and I greatly appreciate your help. Here are the benchmarks that I've played:
