Aim Trainers (Aim Lab, Kovaak's) static aiming guide (Sixshot, 1wall 6targets small) 

technique summary: - flick very fast with arm, and land pretty close to the dot - microcorrect with wrist (take ur time with the micro correction) -conciously try to underflick b/c it reduces overall distance

There's an expression used in the military to describe how you improve at tasks: "Slow is smooth; smooth is fast." The idea is to try to nail PERFECTLY the task you're trying to do, and over time you speed up through repetition. Eventually those slow perfect movements will build in speed as you gain experience.

Good video, agree with everything pretty much. Regarding what static is good for, a simple way it put it, is that it's good to be able to land you crosshair where you want. Also regarding speed vs accuracy, it's hard to say what is the correct approach, you have me, area, mbm who went for speed, and then you, who went for accuracy, and i find it hard to tell who is better between you and mbm atm. Also for real games, you can say someone who went for speed with 70% accuracy, is going to win more 1v1 duels, because he is going to shoot first, so it doesnt matter if the enemy has 100% accuracy, if he is going to be the secondary shooter anyways.

Love the guide bard, good job

Great guide! I'm so excited that you're starting to produce content like this :)

the flick fast, and take your time micro correcting was the perfect tip to break my plateau. Finally hit diamond benchmarks on voltaic today after using this method to break my 1w4ts plateau. Tracking is a breeze for me, but static dots are taking time to learn.. thanks for the vid bard, awesome guide

this cant be called a guide, this is legitmately a course we should all appreciate and support him for putting such crucial info in a free to watch video that we almost gonna never find anywhere else

It took me like a year to develop this habit now I feel stupid u just put it into words and it sounds super intuitive

Thanks for this video, i knew fast flick + micro correction was how I got better scores, but always thought drawing smooth straight lines from dot to dot was the "correct" way

Dude. You literally described the exact same philosophy I am using. But learning that you were stuck for so long (as I am right now)....man its getting hard. Its frustrating. Of course, someone will not understand this. But I am highly competitive but when you realize you're not that good. When you know you can be so much better.... You want to improve. Doing the grind. It is so...dreadful. When you stagnate (the process of unlearning the bullshit and slowly improving your better habits). Anyway, I dont wanna get this longer, its already long...but yea, thank you a lot for this. Great reminder even if you know...its a grind.

The point of a metronome is to use it as your minimum speed between targets, but still allow yourself to go faster when you can. It's very helpful for breaking plateaus sometimes.

This is exactly what I did when I started aim training, but after months of doing it this EXACT method I completely plateaued and realized when I started turning off my brain and not even confirming mentally if my crosshair was over a target I started breaking all my plateaus and CRUSHING my previous scores instantly. I'm not saying that this way isn't valid or right to do, maybe me doing that initially was necessary to build the control I needed to be accurate enough while turning my brain off and going for speed. Either way, that's how I progressed extremely quickly in aim trainers.

On metronomes: They are very good for newer players who can use the metronome at a lower pace that provides time to correct after flicking and stomp out the habit of shooting immediately after the first flick. I used them when I was new to fps, and they helped until I started getting into the top 20-30% of scores on tasks.(which is pretty quick if you're serious about training) Like he says in the video: being dynamic in your aim is important, and when you get to a certain speed the metronome won't allow enough time for corrections when you need them.

I may be wrong but my understanding of "cross hair placement" is not skill based like static flick to fixed location, but in my opinion knowledge based for example, knowing a map understanding when a person is walking around a corner/up a ramp/ using stairs/ or any other type of situation you know where there head will be so preplacing your x hair there is obviously going to be a huge advantage.

Great video and explanation! PS: your records are pretty insane. I've been a casual shooter player for like 15 years (I'm old) and I always did muuuuch better in games like CS/Val than in others. Never took it serious and mostly played casuals and DMs and stuff. Decided to do some aiming benchmarks in Kovaak and it showed me exactly why: I instantly hit diamond in most voltaic static-dot variants, yet only hit between bronze and gold in tracking scenarios.

This is a great point, I think with a lot of things I've forgot about going slow first. (walk before you run). When I was taught to run an excavator for example, I was told to literally put the machine on a lower speed and slowly progress when practicing accurate grading. After a few days you get decent with it. It was always weird seeing people grade perfectly at full speed and I think thats part of the pitfall for a lot of people. You see someone do something at incredible speed and think you can just go through the motions. Which may work for some to a point, but this seems like a better way for to train your hand-eye coordination.

Static advice from static legend himself! Thank you :)

My score instantly improved after applying what you taught in this video. I'm definitely subscribing

Thanks Bardoz for the excellent video, hope you'll invest some more time on "aiming science" :)) I think there is also some basics that weren't corevered on this video for this kind of exercice : - Always have in mind your next target, and probably consciously visualize the pattern you'll follow on the next 4 to 5 shoots. This way, you know where you are going to flick, and how far. Having a good knowledge of the dots repartition is crucial into succeeding in this exercise. You have to somehow pay attention to newly spawned dots in order to know which pattern you will follow. - Don't do this exercise "passively". It's important to be focused on the task, because doing it passively, like while listenning to music hoping to beat a score is not going to build the muscle memory as well as doing it fully focused and conscious of your actions. So maybe use a white noise sound, something that permits focusing, instead of a fast beat that your brain will synchronize to while not being exactly the rythm you need in game. - About sensivity : Find the sweet spot between a fast enough and a too fast sens, that permits you to get from one side of the screen to another in one "easy" movement. By "easy", I mean fairly consistantly achievable, while still not having to "crisp" the arm or hand while micro correcting. Give the "PSA method" a try for this matter. - Another advice I can give about this, is to go some minutes on free play before any challenge sessions. By not having the pressure of "scoring", you relax your hand and your mind, and you learn even better. Then when confortable, you'll be able to do a good score for sure. - Pay attention to your posture, and adjust the height of your screen to a confortable level. Often people forget about their posture while "trying hard" and it leads to even less good performance. - Drink some water from time to time. Don't over drink, but don't forget to drink either. The brain needs to work at its max for those tasks and water is very important. Also, breathing and calming down in between sessions, is important. Drink some water, empty your mind by taking some deep breaths, then get ready to rock ! - About going accuracy first before speeding up, from my own experience, it's important to be "at ease" with your aiming, and being slow but accurate at first seems like a good plan. When you are at ease with your aim, you can speed up, because you have a foundation on which to improve. If you try to get faster without control, you'll be like those headless chicken, maybe you'll beat a score once in a while, but never have consistant performance. The most important thing is to find a stability in scores, from which to improve, step by step.

really smart really useful. I play an instrument so I have the same philosophy but I've never stuck to it grinding through low scores. thanks dude

Awesome video this explains some of the questions that I had, thank you for all the help last night. I have started on my aim training journey. Thank you!

This was an awesome video! Please make more guides, I'm trying to work on my precision as much as i can while speeding up as well.

you just ruined the career of many aim coaches LMAO.

2 uploads in 2 days my brain cant handle so much awesomeness

Great video man! I'd love to see more videos like this from you. Cheers!

This was a great video, which helped me out very much! I am focussing on accuracy first now in all my scenarios.

that dot thing is so true... when you're comfortable you can start learning how to look at a target and have that dot "turn black" ;)

i also have heard a lot of different opinions, that i "should do this do that", and i will have certain questions for you, if you will ever read it, which will be nice 1:50 - I have started with my gaming experience being none, basically i picked up Kovaaks and my first ever score was around 20-25% accuracy at CLSI, i picked it up beacuse i felt i am 20 years of PvP experience behind everyone else... 3:50 - how about, talking in terms of scores, sacrificing a desired amount of time in freeplay and forgetting this "challenge only, do the playlists" mentality, which is pure garbage in my personal opinion, and then "benchmark/challenge" when feeling ready? I found an advantage that i don't get constantly interrupted (with scenario ending) and mad at myself that i failed the challenge, i don't get to play with RNG some scenarios are prone to (like for example slightly closer faster-to-flick-to arrangements of dots in 1w6t TE) and affect the score? Also some of the challenges are badly designed, Vertical strafes require you to flick upwords at the start of every challenge. Nobody did present to me advantage of playing challenges, and when asked i saw response with one word and one word only - "challenges" - like they were blindly following the cult. 4:30 - ok, i finally found peace, thank you, i wanted to make a comment about how at 1:28 most of it seemed like "flick immidietaly with one move" but you touched on this so i am happy 7:30 - i find music, any kind, extreamly distracting just because i have some sort of metronome in my head that dictates speed when i hear the rythm, i do everything with just the sound from the game 8:45 - would grind them because targets in the game i play are increadibly small on my screen and with my FoV, any practice on them is incredibly valuable, also to flick to heads better (no need to explain head is way smaller than full hitbox) All in all very nice video i liked it, made me more motivated to play

A dynamic clicking and reactive tracking guide would be POG!

I am stuck on Voltaic Diamond cause i was moving too slow and not getting 100%, really needed this video!!!! and would like to see more in the future!

Finally!! Thanks for this.

Thanks for the video, going to try to implement this. Static has been such a pita for me.

love it bardOZ. keep up the good work

Solid. I just started playing small dots over large. My first shot accuracy is a lot better. I play way to many aim games lol. More than real games. I find it calming and a lot more fun tbh lol. Nice vid. Just found your vids. Subbed.

hey bardoz will you make videos about tracking as well? Also the part about accuracy and speed was so helpful, i personally stuggle with accuracy while going fast although i can go pretty fast with above 85 accuracy its way too inconsistent and would like to keep it at above 95%

Bro your channel is so underrated

I don't think a metronome is necessarily bad if you're using it to keep someone on target while slowly doing the flick/micro technique. Once they have the technique down, then you won't want to use a metronome so they can adapt to the dynamic nature of the task

i can confirm that this works... watched this vid 10 minutes ago and tried it out... my first score in sixshot was 60k or sth cause i had to get used to it (my pb 83k) at my second try i got 67k in the next 2 over 70k and already at my fifth try i beat my pb with 84k... gonna keep doing it for the next months... lets see what results imma get ^^

Insta Sub, not too long, very detailed, good points, relaxed. Love it, thankyou.

this is so fucking useful, I beat my high score that I was stuck on for 2+ weeks a few minutes after watching this

bardOZ, you are the goat for this video.

Thank you. Helped me to jump from 650 where I was stuck for a while to 840. I've been beating records one after another for last two days. :) I've started using my forearm to aim in 1wall6targets small, but I still prefer to use a wrist and fingers in many other scenarios (Reflex Flick - Easy for example). Thinking about is it necessary to start using forearm as main to aim, or I wouldl manage to improve with wrist+fingers. It is hard for me to understand how to fight against fast moving enemy in close quarters if I use forearm. Mousepad seem too small for this. Even my (which is bigger than yours). I used to die a lot because of that.

Great video, thank you for putting this out!

tried to go for 100% accuracy and beat my old highscore by 100 somehow lol. Great Guide!

would love to see more guides from you

In regard to the metronome I would actually subdivide the beat into 2 or 3 parts for clusters in order to avoid the issue you described while still having a point of reference to stay on pace. That being said, Its still not that good in many contexts.

I watched the video and instantly get 1500 thanks bardoz

best video ive seen, thank you. Please do tracking

going for accuracy and not speed is a tough pill to swallow but i'll do it

should I go smoothly on the microcorecction? or do like a small calculated flick?

Thank you, for the guide helped out alot

Still the static goat in my heart

really useful, to the point. Thank you! :)

such a good video, thanks :)

I think your advices and reflections are very accurated. Ha! Shooter's Jokes! Thanks, really

What should I use artisan hein or zero?. I play both cs and apex. And thankyou!

thankyou for the encouragement

So I play mostly at night or with my windows closed so i like to play more with white dots on a low light background like greyish

Nice dude! I recently did the same thing(tried to be 100% accurate). And made some decent progress. Even made a video about it. Great information!

Thank this video really help me a lot.

Love the advice videos ❤️

ottimi consigli, peccato che la community italiana sia quasi inesistente su questi aspetti

Grande! un aim beast dalla sardegna

Thanks for the tips!

Bro i have shaky aim how can i fix

Absolute legend!

So do I need to be smooth or fast? I was trying to make perfect lines before trying to do them faster, but now I don't understand. Do I need to do the fast flick even if the line isn't that good?

if im high sens, i still flick fast with wrist and micro correct right? because flicking with my arm on my sens is extremely inaccurate for me, i only swipe to do 180 or 90 degree turns

but will my initial flick improve with recorrecting my flick?, if i flick far and i keep recorrecting correctly, will i get closer to the target over time?

Old but gold. Would this apply similary at dynamic as well?

do you play a on a different sens in game vs kovaaks?

one more question dose tilting your monitor help

after watching this i beat my high score second round in

Hi bardOZ, how do I know I'm doing straight lines and when should I increase speed?

also i notice that when i use a dot crosshair it helps with static

Should I try to maintain the same sens on every game I play? like valorant to apex, siege, and etc...

Thank you for the video.

..But what aimlock program do you use?

thank you bardoz

i know it is a late a comment , but my i know what kind of chair are you using in this video(and if you are still using it)?

what mouse sensitivity would you recommend? I've seen you play 37cm/360° and over 60/360. I have tried different sensitivities (50+ cm my arm gets really tired if I have to do 180 turn and at 35+ cm I feel like a have to much tension in the arm and wrist)

Ciao bardozz, which is your dpi and sensitivity? and which mousepad you use?

BardOZ did playing kovaaks improve you in any games

Love u bard

Can you also do a dynamic aiming guide?

Thx for the tips!!!

great tips!

very useful love the video

should i approach every static scenario like this?

What is your advice for Dynamic Clicking Tho (Stuff like Popcorn and Pasu or B180), Like do i also go for the accuracy

Whats your chair ?

Thank you

Great content 👌🏽

What is best sitting posture?

who tell me bardOZ's sensitivy

Double mousepad meta?

Thanks!

Hello.i have a question. Are your eyes focus on center of screen or do you focus on targets. Please let me know.

finally
