instead of a sportsleeve you can also use an old sock (i used an old one, which had a hole) and cut the part for your toes away, so you can stick your hand through

Its really amazing how i naturally just did everything you said to do in your video before i even found this video. As soon as i lowered my sensitivity and got more mousepad it started becoming 2nd nature to me. My aim has also become more consistent over playing with a higher sens.

This is why I invested into a standing desk just to I can have those 0.1 inch adjustments so that I can comfortably position my chair height so I'm not restricting blood flow to my leg as happens when you are sitting too high and your feet are dangling and then have my desk adjusted to the perfect hand height. My position while gaming and so much more has massively helped my qol.

3:49 This was the thing that I hated about arm aiming. What I started doing about 6 months ago is to take a piece of paper and fold it in half and put on half under the mousepad and the other half where my arm rests. This GREATLY reduced the friction and arm aiming is so much easier.

really helpful mate! after a lot of forearm pain I noticed that my arm was being restricted because of the desk and adding a huge mousepad that starts from the edge of the table has really helped along with the reduction in the DPI

My aiming is not stable. When I put 100% of my forearm on the table, I flick very well, but when I put 70% or even 80% of my forearm on the table, I feel different and my aim is quite bad. And you know that during a match, your entire forearm is not always on the table. So is my problem psychological or is there really a difference?

Most underrated aim coach i'm so happy I found you channel, your tips have really made me improve.

This type of content is very good, few people approach these topics. Arm position and table chair height make a lot of difference in performance and a lot of people think it's silly but it's not

After watching this video, I had to watch all the others on the channel! Great content, indeed! All very motivational too. I hope a video will come out on how to find the right sensitivity. Keep it up!!

Good stuff, as usual, Struth!

Been arm aiming on accident for years (I play surf) now I gotta build the Muscle memory to Hybrid.

Chair height is a very important aspect of how your aim feels like your mentioned and I 100% agree. I'm one of those people who sit at a slight angle towards the desk and I have a more lounge style position like the CS:GO pro JDM. My keyboard is right at the edge of the table but I have a nice comfortable pivot for my mouse against my forearm.

Dude I’m new to pc and this video is helping me it pointed out some things I’m struggling with my arm on the edge of desk making it hard to move my arm and how close I should actually be sitting you earned a sub my man your appreciated for the help I can’t wait to try this tomorrow when home from work 4:19

ive always been a little unconfortable ancoring my elbow on my arm rest. I will try this, thanks.

Tysm I started hating playing on kbm cause my wrist felt so discomfort this helped me a lot

thank you bro. i was struggling so much but you had extremely helpful tips🤙

Currently my point of contact is mainly wrist but i constantly use my arm to flick around,swipe and do larger flicks so i hope that counts as arm aiming because i am a fingertip aimer so it's basically considered wrist aiming

thank you for this. i've been transitioning to a lower sensitivity as i've noticed i play better with lower sens. i've so far been a high sens aimer with the wrist at the edge of my mousepad lol

great content man. got some of your claws in the mail right now, cant wait to give them a go.

As an arm aimer, seeing this made my day😊

Increased chair height as my irremovable armrest was becoming a nuisance. Tilted my mousepad a bit as you advised Started using my arm more than wrist coupled with medium edpi 350-400 W advices. Thanks a lot. GGs

Just changed the angle of my setup to be able to fit my arm on the desk, feels way more comfortable! Thank you ❤️

"Mum, mum wake up struth posted a new video"

Man, I've been trying to get this right for days now, but I just can't seem to do it. My arm always starts to hurt, whether it's after a while or instantly. It's almost like there are a few muscles that are super weak or something. I only feel comfortable when my whole arm is resting on the table, but then my wrist starts to angle upwards or doesn't rest correctly on the table when I start aim training. As I continue to aim train, my wrist becomes even more angled upwards. Alternatively, my posture may be compromised and not ergonomic.

the writing in cursive analogy was perfect

On one hand this makes sense as you have more degrees of freedom to move around, however, the added degrees of freedom leaves more room for a definite amount of error. For example, if you solely wrist aim the only thing moving is your wrist, sure there will be error when you move your wrist but since you aren't moving your arm you don't need to worry about additional error from arm movement. A hybrid approach has both arm and wrist error that an isolated wrist approach generally does not. Solely arm aiming likely incurs wrist error though because your wrist doesn't lock in place and will still shift a little as you play. This is purely theoretical and doesn't factor in playing at a much lower dpi. Just applying engineering tolerance concepts to accurate arm motion. Important to mention though that I'm not some god gamer, I'm definitely above average but not some monster at aiming. I generally play with a planted wrist at 950 dpi. Not sure what it ends up being with my in-game sense but in-game sense is kept low (2.0 on titanfall 2). If I get a larger mouse pad I may try arm aiming a little more but many of the weapons in titanfall have little to no bloom and I do hit most of my shots.

Yes, I've already known all of this, but it's a great explanation for those who don't

I did this method since a year ago with my intuition, and youtube algorithm gaves me this video So i think that this method is the right thing

me with a tiny desk and sitting in a wire chair with no paddding: whoa, slow down mr moneybags!

i wish i've seen this video before its been a year since i did that and i didnt know all of this until recently by my self and it helped a lot my aim kept being consistent which that was my problem really helpful tips !

Thank you for the video! Very helpful😁 Before watching, I used to have a pivot point on my arm which I would maintain at all times, thinking it helped with consistency. This made me feel uncomfortable and restricted. Now I understand it wasn't ideal.

Always great stuff bro. Salute

"arm getting stuck? CLEAN YOURSELF" HAHAHAHA

This entire time I thought I was wrist aiming when I was arm aiming...

bro aiming aside your arm is majestic

Great video, thank you!

I have noticed that when im aiming only with my wirst it feels more flexible and i have a larger span of moving left and right but when i try arm aiming im not able to use my wirst as much the span decreases and it doesnt feel as much flexible in short im not able use my wrist in the entire range of motion and it gets difficult to aim.Is it normal?

I got REALLY in to overwatch 1 around season 8 or so. near strict arm aiming saved my wrist and made me amazing at FPS with kbm. Im hoping to find advice for the keyboard hand. I can't seem to nail it ergonomics wise.

Could you do Analysis/breakdown of minigodcs’s aiming style . He is also very much like Hybrid aimer . He has several high score record on aimlabs

Really nice content for who want step up on FPS games!!!

but how do you pull down with posture? I saw your other video and end up with similar posture to yours, but every time I try to pull down to control recoil ( or just vertical movements in general) I find my chair blocking my shoulders and arm, and naturally my body compensated it by rolling my shoulders forward as the "starting position" like what you said at 3:06, so I have more wiggle room when performing downwards movement

My desk too damn skinny 😂😂😂😂 TIME TO SPEND MONEY!

Share that beautiful kovaaks theme please 🗿

Awesome your a pro man.I hope to be a tenth of what you are someday...Just for the funnies..Can we talk about this mans feet at 2.28 ? It has no bridge and it's flat...Like you have your feet firmly planted in life my man😁.Just joking you are cool

Nice information.

ty i need this

Damn. This is exactly what i do when i am gaming. You need a deep desk. I have 65cm deep desk and i am using almost 55cm with this method. Also non-texture surface mousepads makes an easier move capability without injury and uncomfortable moving. But the second most important thing is the monitor size and your distance to monitor. 35cm is enough for me with my 27" 2K monitor on Valorant.

For 9gag fans imagine a Confess Bear Meme with this text --- I always say to my boys that i will put on my gaming sock. They think i want to tell them that i give 100% now... but in reality i was just cutting the toes out from a long sport sock and use it as a sleeve when i just have a tshirt on and stick with my forearm while gaming. works fabulous!

100% right GOOD STUFF !!!

thanks so much man, my posture was so bad

after about 7 years of playing with wrist it makes me feel so slow when i play with arm and wrist

I will edit this comment in about a week after trying the steps shown in this video I'll be 100% honest, if this works, I love you.

was having issues w my wrist n this pops up guess its the arm aim arc

Hybrid is the way. Wrist for control Arm for flicks

Great video mate! Coming from someone with a similar setup you're right on the money here!

A lot of yall need soap and water AFTER you game because of how sweaty you play 😂

I currently have my wrist at the edge of the desk like this 1:04, gonna try to change that

Watching the part about elbow aiming and armrests, would you still rest your elbow on an armrest for your keyboard arm?

Bro, what chair are you using, I've been playing fps games uncomfortably since ever, im not even sure if my chair is the problem or the desk is a bit high

woah woah woah washing my arm with soap? i came here for gaming buddy we dont do that out here

This was actually helpfull Im a noob

i used to feel like i aimed with my wrist now i feel like i aim with the part that almost becomes my elbow. that's better right?

what if my chair is high and my shoulder gets tired from vertical tracking (ow2) or even osu

I have a dollar store mousepad that is small so if i try to move both my arm and wrist, the mousepad will move with it and i do not want to scratch my desk when moving my mouse

This helps a lot. Cheers! Could you also help me with a question, please? I was wondering if moving my arm and wrist at the exact same time, so simultaneously, is a bad idea. For example, in KovaaK's, when I try Close Long Strafes, both my arm and wrist are constantly moving together. Is locking my arm in place after finding the target, then using only my wrist for tracking, better? Thanks!

i almost teared something while just using my wrist and my movements are limited now so i should of watched this earlier

u are like the Ron Rambo Kim of Overwatch 2

Great content

Can I ask what sensitivity per 360 are you using? Just for comparsion with your hand movement in the video :) Thanks

Thanks for video! I have a question does dpi cause inconsistency? I play valorant with 1000 dpi and 0.29 ingame. My frnds suggest that i should switch to 800 dpi

Step one: get enough mouse room

Hello I have a question, I have been using my wrist to aim but ever since I tried out this "hybrid" technique and I extend my arm I found myself unable to move my fingers for micro flicking. Is there any particular reason for this? I really want to switch to this hybrid technique

A tip for you, sit at an angle to your table. This way you can have 80% of your arm on the table without increasing the angle between your upper and lower arm.

Let's not forget the importance of small movements that can be produced by the fingers to help redirect your crosshair for those headshots.

may I know what sensitivity do you use in cm/360 ?

Does this tip work for pubg gyro/gyroscope. Since it kind has the same game system going on with that mouse

the problem I have with this video is I dont see you moving ur arm up and down? I tried and its a lot harder for me than just using wrist. I really don't understand. Yes you move it a bit, but what if im above a player and hes all the way below me? I have to move my arm all the way back, instead of just using my wrist and doing it simpler.

Just so ive understood everything; I should use my wrist and let my arm follow it. Dont anchor my wrist?

Funny thing I always only arm aim, can't do wrist at all because it's so shaky, but it might be my essential tremor, but I am not really sure, I might be just not used to it

amazing content.

So i cant really sit with my belly touching my desk because my chair doesn't have adjustable armrests and i cant remove them because they are what is holding the back of my chair to the seat of my chair sooo I have no idea what to do.

i have just been using my wrist for the past 3 years

The voice of KovaaK's

I have a low mousepad area and therefore I play with a high sensitivity, can my aim still get good even if I don't use my arm at all for aiming?

Hey can you do a video on how to boot fps I have tried every method but I’m stuck at 30 fps

I’ve been aiming with just my wrist for years been trying aiming with my arm just doesn’t feel as precise

Thx...

You should include your DPI settings. I'm used to playing at like 1600dpi whilst relying heavily on my wrists.

can you make a tutorial on this for people with keyboard trays

Can you talk about the keyboard position should i bring it closer to my body or far from me because i have everything correct but i have pain left side of my neck 😓

I tried to play with whole arm for a long time but if you build to play by ur wrist and fingers you cant fix this. I simply hate to move my arm that much. Just use what is more fit for you. Dont copy settings of pros if you are not pro. find a thing that is more discomfartable for you. For me it was heavy mouse and 400 dpi. I used 2000 dpi and lowed sens by 4x and now mouse reacts for every micromovement by my precise fingera

1:33 which i am entire incapable of doing because my dogshit book oriented desk has 2 shelves directly underneeth very unfortunate circumstance

Yep, I hate gaming with arm rests specifically for this reason. They get in the way for proper posture

can I have a link to a chair please 🙏 looking for a new one

fax

dunno, my mousepad's collecting dust under my table

i have been a wrist aimer and i feel stupid for using wrist and i have that loose tendons on my wrist where it makes a fat joint stick out

What should be the desk height for this?

no way simply telling me to remove the arm rest fixed everything
