One thing that I wish we got to see is these grips in motion perfectly synced with gameplay on video, so we can see things like how are they using these grips whilst navigating the maps, throwing utility, dueling, holding angles etc. Just seeing the snapshots of player grips only seems to tell half the story.
Not true, just controlling the recoil of the rifles and SMG's adds a dimension of vertical control that is needed. And some of these players play on insanely low sensitivity. Then you add in maps like Nuke, Vertigo, Anubis etc. where there are catwalks, vent shafts, elevated areas and lower than ground level dips in the sites, and you're doing a lot more management of vertical aiming than you may think.
Rambo, would you ever consider doing a Reflections with Thorin? You're one of the first true CS stars (along with Ksharp) that I'd love to see on that show.
Not that it matters but for the sake of data I'm almost identical to Niko's grip with the third finger pushed just slightly more down so that it's barely touching the mat. My pinky curls as well and gently grazes the mousemat. My wrist sits even with the edge of the desk and then the only other mousemat contact is from my pisiform, I had to look up a hand diagram to learn what it was called but if you check Google images you'll find it. The mouse is not in line with my forearm and has a slight cant to it, I would say a line that splits the mouse lengthwise in two would intersect at roughly halfway between the middle of my wrist and the outside of my wrist. Mouse is a Vaxee XE wireless.
The reason why some of these players have their wrist off the mousepad because they were gripping mice that is way larger than their hands could fill because they are young and it stuck with them.
@@ronweasly778 when you hold the mouse like that, the corner of the table presses on a very narrow area. This is quite a lot of pressure for our hand. If you do this for a long time and regularly, it causes tunnel syndrome. I know the cause, but I don't know how it works. Probably this pressure squeezes the blood vessels, they are less able to feed the cells and nerves, they start to die and slowly the nerve is destroyed. It is more common in the hand, because there too, the vessels and nerves are squeezed for a long time with mechanical impact. There is the same syndrome with the elbow. It seems that we can get this anywhere from pinching and friction.
Just because they’re top performers doesn’t mean their way of doing this is better. They might be top performers in spite of their twisted mouse grips. But by all means, experiment and see what works for you.
