Aiming is a compound movement utilising fingers, wrist, forearm, shoulder. Without changing our sens we might be 60% wrist, 20% fingers, 15% arm, 5% shoulder. In this instance, our finger dexterity 'might' be holding us back. By switching to a 90% finger sens (e.g., 7cm/360) 10% wrist, we can isolate and focus the gains in that specific area. Switching back to our original sens sees those gains realised. In this way, it's identical to compound weightlifting.
@@micah4539 I disagree, different sens will result in using different parts of your arm and different ranges of motion. It might not be apparent which parts of your arm are weaker without using a randomizer. Like it took me a long time to realize my fingertip aim is a weak area and I've been focusing on building it up getting some big gains.
That makes perfect sense now. Thanks for your analogy. I've changed my sens a bit here or there, but not as drastically as what you described. I'm gonna do that now though. Whoever said it's a dumb idea is... well... my Dunning Kruger sensor is detecting something.
Thank you! And congrats, from what I've read that seems about the expected amount of investment to reach diamond. It's a lot harder than people think!!
YO I'm only bronze right now but the bronze routine is leagues easier than the actual silver benchmarks that I would need to be improving to get silver. should I just stick with the bronze routine or is there a better option?
@@jacksondonzella9196 It's important to push yourself more than where you are now, but not so much that you are just overwhelmed and frustrated, and don't want to even play them. I'm usually pushing myself 10-20% outside of my comfort zone, so I would try running the harder routine and give it a shot. Always be willing to experiment and push yourself.
@@RiddBTW Should I be using the silver or gold routines maybe? I decided to grind some of the clicking benchmarks last night and improved my high score from a 33 to a 57 on Pasu Voltaic Easy in like 30 minutes which is already silver stats.
@@jacksondonzella9196 I would personally work on getting your average up as a true testament of your aim mechanics. It's a lot easier to grind a specific scen and gradually get higher scores, then it is to just get those higher scores on a routine basis no matter what types of scens you're focusing on.
I have been consistently going backwards in my game performance for the past 5 months that I have slowly reached the point of self-loathing. I will do my best to implement your advices (and perhaps try to be a bit more relaxed and forgiving towards myself). Thank you for this video. I really needed to hear that I'm not just genetically predisposed to be a loser.
i think it's a trap many of us fall into. it's easy to get into the mode of just 'getting the reps in' like exercise but that's not the same way we acquire difficult motor skills. try not to get down on yourself and put that energy into consciously thinking about improvement.
You inspired me to try Voltaic and after my first couple of times running the benchmarks I'm at gold with a couple plat scores on some scenarios! Now I just want to grind hard and get plat and maybe even diamond! Thank you so much for the great content, please keep it coming!
Just thought I'd mention: The person who got me using Kovaak is a Diamond rank. He thinks there isn't a benefit to your in-game performance for anything past that. I guess you'll need to take my word on this, but; he's the guy on the top of the leaderboards every single game, the type of player who does actually get banned because people assume he's cheating. I just started my aim training journey, I haven't done any benchmarks yet. But I have seen what Diamond aim and good game sense looks like, and it's damn impressive.
I am halfway getting to diamond and I never reset my runs just because those bad runs you learn, from my experience the most of the time. It sort of gives you the weirdest combo of all things that sometimes fuck up you're highscores because it's otherwise not a "perfect run" But one of the best and most detailed vid I've seen so far! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, and yeah I completely agree...a lot of this is mental and whatever puts less pressure on you to succeed through the entire run is a good thing.
dude i honestly cant believe it. i didnt realize how few views this vid had until another comment pointed it out. how do other "aim" vids have 20-40k views and this only have 700?
Yes! I totally agree, I basically applied a lot of the concepts I've learned over the years to general improvement, toward aim training. Lots of overlap!
As someone who is motivated to improve not just short term but over a long period, whether that be months or maybe even years, I really do not focus on score but rather my mechanical soundness. Perhaps what I am even more focused on is disciplining my eyes and how I look at things. START AT THE BASICS: MOUSE GRIP: Be aware of what kind of grip you have for consistency. Palm Claw Fingertip (Note that this is more personal preference and thinking that the claw grip is better because it’s somewhat of a middle man is a logical fallacy) AIMING: SHOULDER AIMING | It’s something that I was at first really terrible at but now after starting extremely slow I put most my effort into training. I think if you’re able to be accurate and precise with just your shoulder, the rest of your arm has a good foundation. (I may be wrong but it’s kind of my own theory :P) ELBOW AIMING/PLANTED ELBOW AIMING | You can aim with your elbow either lifted or planted on your desk. WRIST AIMING/PALM AIMING | Most likely planted on desk with palm You obviously get fatigued very quickly if you’ve just been using wrist aiming or keeping your arm planted on your desk but you’ll slowly work the muscle that’s responsible after training for a while. ALSO KNOW ABOUT TRAINING YOUR EYES: TARGET FOCUS CROSSHAIR FOCUS On the Kovaak website there is a great article discussing whether you should focus on the target or the crosshair when aiming. In short, it’s important to work on both. There’s playlists for both eye focus individually and a mix. This goes beyond video games! Great video and awesome editing! I hope this list that I created put into context of how I look at aim training as a beginner even though you’re probably well aware of all of these things. Thank you and I won’t let the excuse of thinking about genetics or the inevitable plateaus stop me from constantly getting better!
And yes I personally think it’s important to break down each part of the arm and train them individually to able to use them effectively whether it be when they are working individual or some/all collectively. Training with them all working together is something that shouldn’t be forgotten.
Great comment, and I do have a video going over the basics start to finish, but I don't cover much of parts of the arm, probably something worth making a vid on or addendum of sorts. I find a lot of new players (myself included when I was newer) don't recognize when routine developers are specifically trying to include scens that train different parts of your arm. A well-made, complete routine factors this in. So for example someone might cut a routine short because they don't have enough time, and they are hurting themselves in the long run by ignoring scens that train parts of their arm (or aspects of aiming generally) that they need to work on.
@@RiddBTW What I’ve been doing is completely going through routines with each part of the arm since I don’t know exactly which scenarios exercise certain parts of the arm. I practiced to fatigue (like I said starting with my shoulder) and as someone who was a strict wrist Aimer my whole life I’m happy to say I was able to make awesome progress in just a couple weeks. I guess I know general things like that close tracking is optimal for the arm and quick micro adjustments is optimal for the wrist or fingers. I still highly recommend try going through scenarios slow and consciously thinking what part of your arm you are using!
@@imnotbatman6968 This is really solid advice. I notice a lot of people get caught up on if they're a 'wrist aimer' or 'arm aimer' and things of that nature, and I think it's a bit of a noob trap like you lay out. Similarly I always encourage people to purposefully use parts of their mousepad they aren't comfortable with, and minimize resetting their mouse. These are unconscious habits people develop because they are so used to specific parts of their arm they're using and they end up hurting themselves in the long run without realizing it.
Very good video! I was already training at a lower fov with a higher sense and my tracking improved greatly. Now I train at 35cm and play my main game at 40cm, that 40cm feels so slow now that my clicktiming and flicks are much more accurate as before. What I find out the hard way is that I reach a plateau using always the same sense just as you said! Since I ramped up the sensitivity quite a bit it showed me again all of my weaknesses,just like when I started kovaaks. 35cm is for now my main sense in kovaaks and I switch sometimes back to 40cm and boom i hit new high scores. I do this until I reach those scores with my 35cm and I decide If I go lower or not. Cheers!
Really really glad to hear that, and that's awesome news for your progress. It's funny because you're basically describing the exact process I went through :) I used to be so hesitant to adjust my sens/fov and now I do it all the time, and my aim has never been better. It's not for everyone of course but it obviously works for us! :)
@@RiddBTW it's all about getting comfortable, it scared me to death raising my sense lol, but after all muscle memory or whatever you wanna call it is not that important anyway! If that was the case we would never see sparky platinum haha Cheers!
Hi I'm sparky diamond going for master rn, and I thought this video was super well made and had tones of great info in it! Instant Sub and Follow on twitch!
Thanks for checking the video and thanks for taking the time to reply. That is actually really inspiring to hear positive feedback from better aimers! I was hoping it would be useful for all tiers, but I had no way of knowing objectively. Thanks for stopping by!
Instructions Unclear : I gave my dog and cat away. Stil not Plat :P Thanks for the video ! I always thought Aim training was somthing I would be interested in so I downloaded Kovaaks. Other games have a Campaign or Multiplayer option and Kovaaks is quite overwhelming at first ! Thank you for your videos as they have given me direction and act as a sort of "Campaign" for my aim training journey :)
A lot of this is great advice. I will actually be using some of it myself. Like using different scenarios again, instead of running the same ones constantly, think thats a big one for me. I slightly agree with the experimenting of FOVs and sensitivities, but, I feel it would be better to stick with one sens and just get better at it, convert it to the other games you play. The more you use it, the better you get at it, and yeah, the different games you play might have different sensitivity ranges, but if your being limited by the actual sensitivity, change it, but I would first figure out if your being limited by the actual sensitivity or your comfort with the sensitivity. If you feel a sensitivity is good for you, you have enough movement while also being able to be precise, use it, get better at it, try to perfect it. If your constantly changing your sensitivity I feel you would just get hard blocked by constantly struggling to correct and get comfortable with that sensitivity. While Valorant and Counter Strike dont "need" the entire "movement" that you would in games like Apex, why not have both, that way your not limited by your sensitivity leaving yourself going "Oh, that wasnt my fault, nothing I couldve done there." But instead saying "Oh, I could practice better ways of flicking or doing 180s". Doing that while also using the same CM/360 on other games, will really help increase your comfort and skill with your sensitivity, that is, if you found a good sens for you, where you feel you arent limited by the actual sensitivity, but rather your control over it. Great video though :D
Thank you for the comment, and I think this exactly highlights what makes that part of the video so controversial. I completely agree with your justification, and wrestle with that same logic myself, which is what made that section of the video so hard for me to make. For me personally, I was deathly afraid of changing my sens after finding one I was comfortable with. Once I started experimenting with it I eventually started being comfortable with changing it, and now I barely notice changes I make. But if keeping things like that static help people isolate variables or build confidence, then I think they should go for it. Everyone's different, and learns differently, which is why I want to encourage people to experiment after they've learned the fundamentals to maximize their potential.
I'm diamond on what is now the voltaic discord from sparky, and I think that this was a great vid. I used to be bronze, and thinking that I'm terrible, but I just stuck with it and now I'm diamond. I have about 170 hours active on kovaaks.
Awesome news. I think the biggest difference between people that get ranks quickly vs. those that don't is mindful training. Some people 'get it' more naturally than others. I was one of those who took a long time to get it :) And I remember how frustrating it was when I was just training with no improvement. Glad to hear your success story!
I am pretty experienced in the gym training strongman/powerlifting. I applied much of the same training technique/philosophy/mindset there to my aim training. I was able to coach myself from newb to Voltaic Silver pretty quick. My progress isn't slowing down yet either. I highly suggest the book Mastery by Robert Greene
awesome, yes ultimately aim training is just skill learning, and if you have developed improvement mentality elsewhere (like powerlifting in your example) you can apply the same principles and get better faster. some people have trouble staying focused or having discipline to get into learning bouts, and someone like you wouldn't have that problem due to your experience elsehwere.
Almost like a pareto distribution.... people spend an inordinate amount of time on the same scenario hoping to get that last 20% of performance increase, where it's probably easier to change things up and quickly get that '80%' chunk. As you said, great aiming is made of up a subset of skills. For argument, let's say there's 5 and different scenarios and sens stress different components. Maybe you're at 80% of skill 1, 20% of skill 2 through to 5. What should you focus on? Obviously skills 2 through to 5 as the gains will be bigger and easier as they're furthest away from their potential. Get them all to 80%, and then maybe you'll find if you're particularly observant that those skills 1 to 5 have their own subcomponent skills. Repeat. Similar to building muscle, you may aim for 12 reps with a minimum of achieving 8. But, once you have reached 12 reps, you don't stay there hoping for further minute improvement, you increase the load (the challenge). The difficult part with Kovaaks is finding that sweet spot where you should move on.
thanks for the reminder. I read a book about it and totaly forgot about the princible. Its so damn true. The Pareto helps to get out of the conforzone and prioritize the importand things. Less stress and bigger input if u do it the right way.
On the talk about experimenting with different sens, I tried mouse accel (with rawaccel) for 4 months, and when I went back to no accel, my smoothness improved A LOT. You should try it, it makes being smooth on, let's say centering II, a little bit t harder, but after some time it will make you a lot smoother on no accel.
Cool thanks for the suggestion, I am just not giving the sens randomizer a try and already noticing it's helping me focus more on mousefeel. After trying this for a couple weeks I may give the rawaccel a try as well.
The central nervous system needs time to recover, that's why there's rest day when practicing a specific skill. Once the central nervous system repairs itself after aim training you will see improvements. Though, you'll experience diminishing returns if you go over the 90 minute mark of aim training. If you wanna play a game, I suggest 15-30 minutes of warmup before every game. Don't aim train until the night, that's when you do 60-90 minutes of aim training completely tiring the central nervous system. If you tire the central nervous system early by aim training at the day you won't be able to play the game at your peak, even worse feel like you downgraded yourself.
Hey RiddBTW, I just started out doing the Voltaic routine and benchmark and I just passed the bronze benchmarks. However, I am realizing that my tracking is horrendous. Sometimes I get pretty good runs but in general I'm lacking. I feel like for some reason my tracking always has moments of jitter / shake which causes my aim to totally get thrown off. I have tried to train more and be more conscious of it but it still happens. What can I do about this?
How to get plat for me: Play cs 1.6 when you are 5-8 yrs old, play some minecraft too. Casually stumble upon kovaaks, play benchmarks. Nice, your first ranks are plat and 2 diamonds. 70 hours later of traing you reach almost jade complete and 1 master
I’m in bronze and it’s been a struggle for me, my aim has tremendously improved and my tracking has improved but click timing and target switching, I’m awful.
Clicking was actually the worst area of aim for me too. What I did was spend a lot of time focusing on smoothly tracing straight lines from target to target and learning that habit. I also used Christmasiscancelled flick experimental routine which has a lot of pokeball scenarios. Once my accuracy was decent at the current speed, I started pushing speed about 10-20% of my current tempo (i.e. if I got 80 bots to spawn, I'd try to make 90-100 bots spawn). Then I would stay around that tempo until my accuracy improved - rinse repeat. When I started on 1wall6 for example I had horrible scores, not even bronze. If you really focus on it you'll be surprised at how far you can get.
Actually, for anyone who didn't see that their aim got better, You're wrong I just spent 120 hrs and my aim is a lot better, maybe your aim is not the problem try to improve your game sense or your game mechanics, crosshair placement and such things.
This is true, Kovaaks only helps with your raw aim. A lot of people still struggle to get decent benchmark scores though even after hundreds of hours in Kovaaks. That's why I wanted to create this video, to help people who have trouble knowing how to train correctly 🙂
How do you deal with ghosting/ smearing? The hardest thing about aiming is how blurry the screen gets when moving the mouse fast. This happens even at 240hz 120+ fps.
theirs metronome sounds on spotify that i use so i can simply play and pause as needed on my keyboard rather than playing a youtube video or something like that edit: how does someone dislike this video ??? must have been bad mouse aim
@@eskezje Ah yeah that's about double my FPS hours, makes sense you were able to hit diamond level that quickly. To answer your original question, my video covers basically 'how to get good at practicing in Kovaaks' so you might find value in it even at diamond and up. Good luck!
I am a bronze player with 2 weeks of following sparky routines I want to do the benchmarks once every week My question is the day i do the benchmarks do i need to do the routine too?
I would suggest not doing routines on your benchmark day. I often do quick warmups for the scenario type I'm seeking a PB in but that's it. 10mins tops, then focus on your PB.
In the beginning you said you wouldn't waste our time with basically BS but you spent 2.5 minutes saying that and I believe you even realize that and thats why you have the intro at 2:35. So skip past this point.
Appreciate the feedback, and fair points, this was one of my first vids I put together in this format and I've learned a lot since then. One of which is editing and trying to minimize the amount of stuff to show the audience to tell a point. And you're right in this vid I spent way too much time basically saying "here's why you might need this video." Great feedback 🙏 editing my narrative is something I still struggle with.
i would encourage changing routines and scens often for sure. you want to always be at a place where you're pushing yourself 10-20% to get continuous improvement
It's up to you, in order to get plat you only need to get 2 of each category (except for movement). Plat scores in movement scenarios of the same type can be substituted for a plat score in that category. Once you get diamond, you get a special rank for hitting diamond in every benchmark, and that goes for every rank from diamond onward.
I have 100 hours in kovaak and 300 in apex and I'm diamond with no fps games prior to that so I guess that's pretty good then. I've been seeing progress all the time - around every 2 days I'd beat highscores by a little amount and my averages constantly went up
Yes, that is what I would characterize as very unusual. I have seen a few edge cases where people improve their aim very quickly like you, and also the opposite where people spend 300 hours and are still stuck in bronze. I think it goes to show, some people just "get" the aim improvement mindset very naturally, while others struggle, and like any bell curve, most are in the middle ;)
@@RiddBTWI always maintain the proper form (very important), and not cheesing the scenarios to get higher scores and with that proper form I try the hardest I can to get as high of a score as I possibly can every single time, and now I'm top 0,1-2% on every scenario that I'm doing. That is what worked for me. Also - do not do tile frenzy clicking it will just worsen your aim.
I just started doing the voltaic fundamentals and yesterday i tried to change my sens for every scenario that i wasn't feeling it, so like most of the scenarios is that right?
@@RiddBTW i’m not starting out doing kovaaks right now i have like 100hours, i was doing before the game specific training i saw most of the people told me, that it’s fine using different sens in different scenarios if you see on the voltaic discord there’s a sens range
@@RiddBTW everyone in the voltaic said to me that is good, because u try different parts of your arm and body too and you get used to with the high sens so it's better, because i play on a low sens on most of the gamed
Thank fuck for this video. Only other videos on the topic I can find is the ones where people aim train for thirty days and then show their *INSANE* VALORANT AIM! while neglecting to mention that they have 4k hours in CSGO and went semi-pro in CS Source. If you still read comments this late after upload, I want to ask a question. I am currently typing this from a pretty shit laptop that gets nice FPS on Valorant and Kovaaks (sometimes) but not much else, and when I do tracking scenarios on Kovaaks, I can see the lagging colors behind the targets as they move. I have a nice mouse, however my mousepad is 12 inches by 10 inches so I'm forced to play games and aim train at unrealistically high senses. Is it worth aim training on this setup while I save for an actual nice one? Will I develop bad habits as a result of struggling with FPS issues?
Thanks for the feedback and preach it! That's exactly why I made this video cuz I was tired of seeing all the 'i'm cracked after 10 hours in kovaaks' videos :P To answer your question, that's a tough one but I would try to troubleshoot the framelag you're getting in Kovaaks, I had that problem at first too and finally worked through it after fiddling with a bunch of settings. The maker of the game (Kovaak) will even help out if it's something unique. I'd try to get a bigger mousepad if you can, but you won't necessarily develop bad habits on a higher sens. It does help to build mouse control by playing at different sens and getting a feel for what the different sens means. So the sooner you can get a proper setup the better but this isn't wasted time or counterproductive for your progress I don't think.
Any tips to improve when stuck at a rank. I have diamond and for months I have played daily and still no master. I have 2 close scens to master but the rest is diamond/plat with tgv2 being gold.
Check my section from 09:25 onward. Basically you're going to need to spend a lot of time troubleshooting your runs and trying different things to improve your scores. You could focus on a scen at a time. For example, tgv2 is a smoothness focused tracking scen (not reactivity focused) so you could do a smoothness routine (I recommend PureRoutine) every day before you start trying to get a PB on tgv2. If you're not going for a PB that day, you could just do the smoothness routine in its entirety that day. You can also try doing tg 357357 or other variations of the scen to focus on specific tough bots in that scen. You could also try lowering your sens to help with your shakiness. You'll have to go through this mindful process for every scen you want to get a PB in.
@@RiddBTW My sens is 34.5/360cm and I find it hard to track the thin bots. I'll check my vods but I didn't notice any shakiness while playing just hard to aim at bots smaller than my crosshair
I think this is preference - if music helps you focus, then yes I would listen to music. If the music distracts you then I would not, assuming you're looking at optimizing the time you spend training.
@@JordanVlogs-QWA i'm actually going to put together a video once i'm done with the aim mechanic series on why it is. but it comes down to, there's a ton of research that suggests doing some sort of deep rest after intense training maximizes your learning
@@RiddBTW oh okay. look forward to it. Do you have discord or anything like that where I can ask you some questions? Just need some general advice bro.
Hey. I wanted to tracking one day for an hour, then clicking one day for an hour, and so on. Just keep switching like for all the types of sparky aim stuff. Then on Sunday I take the day off. Is that okay?
Yes! I often practice specific aim areas each day, and that's actually how SDK practices, and he has godly aim. It's ok to take breaks if you're pushing yourself when you do train and not using the breaks as a 'crutch.' Ultimately if taking breaks keep you more consistent and you don't get burned out, that's the most important thing.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! ARE YOU TOTALLY SERIOUS?? 270h -> learned the hardway??? no you did not. nothing was hard about that, people grinding silver for 1k hours is the hardway.

I am halfway getting to diamond and I never reset my runs just because those bad runs you learn, from my experience the most of the time. It sort of gives you the weirdest combo of all things that sometimes fuck up you're highscores because it's otherwise not a "perfect run"
But one of the best and most detailed vid I've seen so far! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, and yeah I completely agree...a lot of this is mental and whatever puts less pressure on you to succeed through the entire run is a good thing.
i dont believe this has 700 views, sir you deserve 1m
You have no idea how much that means to me, thank you, and it inspires me to keep building content!
dude this video is really helpful now that Voltaic updated their benchmark document. Thanks for making this
Awesome, glad you liked it :) I have a new vid coming out soon covering the new benches.
dude i honestly cant believe it. i didnt realize how few views this vid had until another comment pointed it out. how do other "aim" vids have 20-40k views and this only have 700?
This is pretty much a general guide on how to improve at anything. Good job :D
Yes! I totally agree, I basically applied a lot of the concepts I've learned over the years to general improvement, toward aim training. Lots of overlap!
Greatest in depth video for Kovaaks improvement that I've ever seen. Deserves more attention
Thank you so much!!
Yes now I can finally get Sparky Plat! Thank you so much!
What an honor! I figured you were GM or something! :)
@@RiddBTW Nah I don't ever play benchmarks- I do my own routine. Probably should, though.
Thanks for making this kind of content. We appreciate it.
I followed the steps in this video and now im hitting prs almost every 4 runs in Pasu.
Nice video, great help appreciate it!!!
As someone who is motivated to improve not just short term but over a long period, whether that be months or maybe even years, I really do not focus on score but rather my mechanical soundness.
Perhaps what I am even more focused on is disciplining my eyes and how I look at things.
START AT THE BASICS:
MOUSE GRIP: Be aware of what kind of grip you have for consistency.
Palm
Claw
Fingertip
(Note that this is more personal preference and thinking that the claw grip is better because it’s somewhat of a middle man is a logical fallacy)
AIMING:
SHOULDER AIMING | It’s something that I was at first really terrible at but now after starting extremely slow I put most my effort into training. I think if you’re able to be accurate and precise with just your shoulder, the rest of your arm has a good foundation. (I may be wrong but it’s kind of my own theory :P)
ELBOW AIMING/PLANTED ELBOW AIMING | You can aim with your elbow either lifted or planted on your desk.
WRIST AIMING/PALM AIMING | Most likely planted on desk with palm
You obviously get fatigued very quickly if you’ve just been using wrist aiming or keeping your arm planted on your desk but you’ll slowly work the muscle that’s responsible after training for a while.
ALSO KNOW ABOUT TRAINING YOUR EYES:
TARGET FOCUS
CROSSHAIR FOCUS
On the Kovaak website there is a great article discussing whether you should focus on the target or the crosshair when aiming. In short, it’s important to work on both. There’s playlists for both eye focus individually and a mix. This goes beyond video games!
Great video and awesome editing! I hope this list that I created put into context of how I look at aim training as a beginner even though you’re probably well aware of all of these things. Thank you and I won’t let the excuse of thinking about genetics or the inevitable plateaus stop me from constantly getting better!
And yes I personally think it’s important to break down each part of the arm and train them individually to able to use them effectively whether it be when they are working individual or some/all collectively. Training with them all working together is something that shouldn’t be forgotten.
Great comment, and I do have a video going over the basics start to finish, but I don't cover much of parts of the arm, probably something worth making a vid on or addendum of sorts. I find a lot of new players (myself included when I was newer) don't recognize when routine developers are specifically trying to include scens that train different parts of your arm. A well-made, complete routine factors this in. So for example someone might cut a routine short because they don't have enough time, and they are hurting themselves in the long run by ignoring scens that train parts of their arm (or aspects of aiming generally) that they need to work on.
@@RiddBTW What I’ve been doing is completely going through routines with each part of the arm since I don’t know exactly which scenarios exercise certain parts of the arm. I practiced to fatigue (like I said starting with my shoulder) and as someone who was a strict wrist Aimer my whole life I’m happy to say I was able to make awesome progress in just a couple weeks.
I guess I know general things like that close tracking is optimal for the arm and quick micro adjustments is optimal for the wrist or fingers. I still highly recommend try going through scenarios slow and consciously thinking what part of your arm you are using!
@@imnotbatman6968 This is really solid advice. I notice a lot of people get caught up on if they're a 'wrist aimer' or 'arm aimer' and things of that nature, and I think it's a bit of a noob trap like you lay out. Similarly I always encourage people to purposefully use parts of their mousepad they aren't comfortable with, and minimize resetting their mouse. These are unconscious habits people develop because they are so used to specific parts of their arm they're using and they end up hurting themselves in the long run without realizing it.
You're awesome and deserve more attention for the calmness and reasonable logic you've presented!! Keep on rockin' 🤙
Very good video! I was already training at a lower fov with a higher sense and my tracking improved greatly.
Now I train at 35cm and play my main game at 40cm, that 40cm feels so slow now that my clicktiming and flicks are much more accurate as before.
What I find out the hard way is that I reach a plateau using always the same sense just as you said! Since I ramped up the sensitivity quite a bit it showed me again all of my weaknesses,just like when I started kovaaks.
35cm is for now my main sense in kovaaks and I switch sometimes back to 40cm and boom i hit new high scores.
I do this until I reach those scores with my 35cm and I decide If I go lower or not.
Cheers!
Really really glad to hear that, and that's awesome news for your progress. It's funny because you're basically describing the exact process I went through :) I used to be so hesitant to adjust my sens/fov and now I do it all the time, and my aim has never been better. It's not for everyone of course but it obviously works for us! :)
@@RiddBTW it's all about getting comfortable, it scared me to death raising my sense lol, but after all muscle memory or whatever you wanna call it is not that important anyway! If that was the case we would never see sparky platinum haha
Cheers!
Hi I'm sparky diamond going for master rn, and I thought this video was super well made and had tones of great info in it! Instant Sub and Follow on twitch!
Thanks for checking the video and thanks for taking the time to reply. That is actually really inspiring to hear positive feedback from better aimers! I was hoping it would be useful for all tiers, but I had no way of knowing objectively. Thanks for stopping by!
Learning English with ridd, today our topic is "by the same token"
Good video as always
LOL
Instructions Unclear : I gave my dog and cat away. Stil not Plat :P
Thanks for the video ! I always thought Aim training was somthing I would be interested in so I downloaded Kovaaks. Other games have a Campaign or Multiplayer option and Kovaaks is quite overwhelming at first ! Thank you for your videos as they have given me direction and act as a sort of "Campaign" for my aim training journey :)
A lot of this is great advice. I will actually be using some of it myself. Like using different scenarios again, instead of running the same ones constantly, think thats a big one for me. I slightly agree with the experimenting of FOVs and sensitivities, but, I feel it would be better to stick with one sens and just get better at it, convert it to the other games you play. The more you use it, the better you get at it, and yeah, the different games you play might have different sensitivity ranges, but if your being limited by the actual sensitivity, change it, but I would first figure out if your being limited by the actual sensitivity or your comfort with the sensitivity. If you feel a sensitivity is good for you, you have enough movement while also being able to be precise, use it, get better at it, try to perfect it. If your constantly changing your sensitivity I feel you would just get hard blocked by constantly struggling to correct and get comfortable with that sensitivity. While Valorant and Counter Strike dont "need" the entire "movement" that you would in games like Apex, why not have both, that way your not limited by your sensitivity leaving yourself going "Oh, that wasnt my fault, nothing I couldve done there." But instead saying "Oh, I could practice better ways of flicking or doing 180s". Doing that while also using the same CM/360 on other games, will really help increase your comfort and skill with your sensitivity, that is, if you found a good sens for you, where you feel you arent limited by the actual sensitivity, but rather your control over it. Great video though :D
Thank you for the comment, and I think this exactly highlights what makes that part of the video so controversial. I completely agree with your justification, and wrestle with that same logic myself, which is what made that section of the video so hard for me to make. For me personally, I was deathly afraid of changing my sens after finding one I was comfortable with. Once I started experimenting with it I eventually started being comfortable with changing it, and now I barely notice changes I make. But if keeping things like that static help people isolate variables or build confidence, then I think they should go for it. Everyone's different, and learns differently, which is why I want to encourage people to experiment after they've learned the fundamentals to maximize their potential.
@@RiddBTW That is a fair point, and that is true that people learn differently. Experimenting wouldn't be bad.
I'm diamond on what is now the voltaic discord from sparky, and I think that this was a great vid. I used to be bronze, and thinking that I'm terrible, but I just stuck with it and now I'm diamond. I have about 170 hours active on kovaaks.
Awesome news. I think the biggest difference between people that get ranks quickly vs. those that don't is mindful training. Some people 'get it' more naturally than others. I was one of those who took a long time to get it :) And I remember how frustrating it was when I was just training with no improvement. Glad to hear your success story!
Another great video thanks again took notes the whole time keep it up!
glad you liked it :)
Informative!
thanks!
thanks for this man, been loving ur vids so helpful :)
"get rid of noisy pets"
sorry old yeller...🐶🔫😔
LOL noooooo timmy
Sorry, kids. Ya gotta go, Dad's gotta practice his click-timing
@@kenjyn76 Priorities!! :D
Thanks for the tips!
I am pretty experienced in the gym training strongman/powerlifting. I applied much of the same training technique/philosophy/mindset there to my aim training. I was able to coach myself from newb to Voltaic Silver pretty quick. My progress isn't slowing down yet either.
I highly suggest the book Mastery by Robert Greene
awesome, yes ultimately aim training is just skill learning, and if you have developed improvement mentality elsewhere (like powerlifting in your example) you can apply the same principles and get better faster. some people have trouble staying focused or having discipline to get into learning bouts, and someone like you wouldn't have that problem due to your experience elsehwere.
Great video!
Great video, it has motivated me tremendously
Really glad to hear it, that's my main goal :)
this was a very good video keep up the good work it helped me a lot
Almost like a pareto distribution.... people spend an inordinate amount of time on the same scenario hoping to get that last 20% of performance increase, where it's probably easier to change things up and quickly get that '80%' chunk.
As you said, great aiming is made of up a subset of skills. For argument, let's say there's 5 and different scenarios and sens stress different components. Maybe you're at 80% of skill 1, 20% of skill 2 through to 5. What should you focus on? Obviously skills 2 through to 5 as the gains will be bigger and easier as they're furthest away from their potential. Get them all to 80%, and then maybe you'll find if you're particularly observant that those skills 1 to 5 have their own subcomponent skills. Repeat.
Similar to building muscle, you may aim for 12 reps with a minimum of achieving 8. But, once you have reached 12 reps, you don't stay there hoping for further minute improvement, you increase the load (the challenge). The difficult part with Kovaaks is finding that sweet spot where you should move on.
Amazing insight and it's kind of amazing how training of different types, in this case I assume weight training, is applicable across disciplines.
thanks for the reminder. I read a book about it and totaly forgot about the princible. Its so damn true. The Pareto helps to get out of the conforzone and prioritize the importand things. Less stress and bigger input if u do it the right way.
MUCHAS GRACIAS, ERA LO QUE BUSCABA TE AMO!!!
de nada, yo también te amo!!
Gold felt very easy to get with only about 50 hours in aim training. But the jump to plat feels crazy...
Great video thank you!
On the talk about experimenting with different sens, I tried mouse accel (with rawaccel) for 4 months, and when I went back to no accel, my smoothness improved A LOT.
You should try it, it makes being smooth on, let's say centering II, a little bit t harder, but after some time it will make you a lot smoother on no accel.
Cool thanks for the suggestion, I am just not giving the sens randomizer a try and already noticing it's helping me focus more on mousefeel. After trying this for a couple weeks I may give the rawaccel a try as well.
7:41 Vaas approved
I'm definitely one of those 98% accuracy players lmao, trying to break my internal metronome is very difficult haha
I know that feel... deliberately focusing on speed helps me and I bring an external metronome into the picture when that's not working.
The central nervous system needs time to recover, that's why there's rest day when practicing a specific skill.
Once the central nervous system repairs itself after aim training you will see improvements.
Though, you'll experience diminishing returns if you go over the 90 minute mark of aim training.
If you wanna play a game, I suggest 15-30 minutes of warmup before every game.
Don't aim train until the night, that's when you do 60-90 minutes of aim training completely tiring the central nervous system.
If you tire the central nervous system early by aim training at the day you won't be able to play the game at your peak, even worse feel like you downgraded yourself.
Very nice video
Hey RiddBTW,
I just started out doing the Voltaic routine and benchmark and I just passed the bronze benchmarks. However, I am realizing that my tracking is horrendous. Sometimes I get pretty good runs but in general I'm lacking. I feel like for some reason my tracking always has moments of jitter / shake which causes my aim to totally get thrown off. I have tried to train more and be more conscious of it but it still happens.
What can I do about this?
Thanks for checking it out! I actually have a video on this exact topic that I just released, so check it out! ua-cam.com/video/F7S-mafDz08/v-deo.html
How to get plat for me:
Play cs 1.6 when you are 5-8 yrs old, play some minecraft too.
Casually stumble upon kovaaks, play benchmarks.
Nice, your first ranks are plat and 2 diamonds.
70 hours later of traing you reach almost jade complete and 1 master
I’m in bronze and it’s been a struggle for me, my aim has tremendously improved and my tracking has improved but click timing and target switching, I’m awful.
Clicking was actually the worst area of aim for me too. What I did was spend a lot of time focusing on smoothly tracing straight lines from target to target and learning that habit. I also used Christmasiscancelled flick experimental routine which has a lot of pokeball scenarios. Once my accuracy was decent at the current speed, I started pushing speed about 10-20% of my current tempo (i.e. if I got 80 bots to spawn, I'd try to make 90-100 bots spawn). Then I would stay around that tempo until my accuracy improved - rinse repeat. When I started on 1wall6 for example I had horrible scores, not even bronze. If you really focus on it you'll be surprised at how far you can get.
You can try doing click and switch routines for a week and see if you improved and do them when until they get good same as tracking
Actually, for anyone who didn't see that their aim got better, You're wrong I just spent 120 hrs and my aim is a lot better, maybe your aim is not the problem try to improve your game sense or your game mechanics, crosshair placement and such things.
This is true, Kovaaks only helps with your raw aim. A lot of people still struggle to get decent benchmark scores though even after hundreds of hours in Kovaaks. That's why I wanted to create this video, to help people who have trouble knowing how to train correctly 🙂
@@RiddBTW Great video buddy, I learnt new things.
you look like albrelelie's dad, nice vid.
Fun fact I am his dad
very few people talk about 3d aim trainer for some reason. It is amazing, has good progression overview. All it lacks is custom scenarios / playlists
you are the cutest human bean ever xoxoxo
How do you deal with ghosting/ smearing? The hardest thing about aiming is how blurry the screen gets when moving the mouse fast. This happens even at 240hz 120+ fps.
5:22 ok i got rid of all my pets! they are whining outside, when can i bring them in its cold out?? But what about my high scores?

theirs metronome sounds on spotify that i use so i can simply play and pause as needed on my keyboard rather than playing a youtube video or something like that
edit: how does someone dislike this video ??? must have been bad mouse aim
That's smart, a lot of people still don't recommend using metronomes but I think they can be useful, so I'm glad to hear you are benefitting from it !
Nice video but how do i download or get these routines?
After I made this video I started keeping a github with most of the popular routines, you can get it here: github.com/riddbtw/kovaaks-plos
@@RiddBTW thank you
I mean, i just played a little of kovaak, 50 hours in and i got diamond. Can i still use this video for improvement?
I think so, you definitely got there way faster than I did (still not diamond) though so maybe you need to teach me! :D
@@RiddBTW Well considering i have 4k hr in csgo, i dont know how fast i've been
@@eskezje Ah yeah that's about double my FPS hours, makes sense you were able to hit diamond level that quickly. To answer your original question, my video covers basically 'how to get good at practicing in Kovaaks' so you might find value in it even at diamond and up. Good luck!
I’ve been using christmasiscancelled’s flick playlist and it has helped a lot
can you dm me the plos for that on discord ? my username is hezi#3680

@@RiddBTW thanks ur a legend
Oh sorry I couldn’t respond on time, thankfully someone helped you 👍
I am a bronze player with 2 weeks of following sparky routines
I want to do the benchmarks once every week
My question is the day i do the benchmarks do i need to do the routine too?
I would suggest not doing routines on your benchmark day. I often do quick warmups for the scenario type I'm seeking a PB in but that's it. 10mins tops, then focus on your PB.
@@RiddBTW Thanks Just a question I had since I began to train Do you hold down your mouse 1 the entire scenario when doing target switching
@@KushalChandar. It depends on the scen, for most tswitch scens that don't penalize you for accuracy, you should hold down m1 most of the time.
@@RiddBTW thank you ,appreciate what you are doing for the community
In the beginning you said you wouldn't waste our time with basically BS but you spent 2.5 minutes saying that and I believe you even realize that and thats why you have the intro at 2:35. So skip past this point.
I think you had some interesting thing to say tho. eventually.
Appreciate the feedback, and fair points, this was one of my first vids I put together in this format and I've learned a lot since then. One of which is editing and trying to minimize the amount of stuff to show the audience to tell a point. And you're right in this vid I spent way too much time basically saying "here's why you might need this video." Great feedback 🙏 editing my narrative is something I still struggle with.
@@RiddBTW GG
I love you
i
do you think i should stick to a routine for months or change it up? i feel like my average score dropped in the last few days
i would encourage changing routines and scens often for sure. you want to always be at a place where you're pushing yourself 10-20% to get continuous improvement
I have a question about Sparky's benchmark
Should I get the score of the 5 scenarios in click timing and tracking? or just 2 of every category?
It's up to you, in order to get plat you only need to get 2 of each category (except for movement). Plat scores in movement scenarios of the same type can be substituted for a plat score in that category. Once you get diamond, you get a special rank for hitting diamond in every benchmark, and that goes for every rank from diamond onward.
@@RiddBTW Thank you so much buddy.
Im very scared about the guitar and bass corner, please make sure they dont fall over.
I have 100 hours in kovaak and 300 in apex and I'm diamond with no fps games prior to that so I guess that's pretty good then. I've been seeing progress all the time - around every 2 days I'd beat highscores by a little amount and my averages constantly went up
Yes, that is what I would characterize as very unusual. I have seen a few edge cases where people improve their aim very quickly like you, and also the opposite where people spend 300 hours and are still stuck in bronze. I think it goes to show, some people just "get" the aim improvement mindset very naturally, while others struggle, and like any bell curve, most are in the middle ;)
@@RiddBTWI always maintain the proper form (very important), and not cheesing the scenarios to get higher scores and with that proper form I try the hardest I can to get as high of a score as I possibly can every single time, and now I'm top 0,1-2% on every scenario that I'm doing. That is what worked for me.
Also - do not do tile frenzy clicking it will just worsen your aim.
I just started doing the voltaic fundamentals and yesterday i tried to change my sens for every scenario that i wasn't feeling it, so like most of the scenarios is that right?
i wouldn't change your sens for every scen...no real advantage to that, esp when you're starting out.
@@RiddBTW bro i saw that changing the sens is a right move, because u can try other parts of your arm and wrist plus kovaaks trains your mouse control
@@RiddBTW i’m not starting out doing kovaaks right now i have like 100hours, i was doing before the game specific training i saw most of the people told me, that it’s fine using different sens in different scenarios if you see on the voltaic discord there’s a sens range
@@dimi285 i agree, i actually have a video about a sens randomizer on that exact topic. i just wouldn't change it every scenario
@@RiddBTW everyone in the voltaic said to me that is good, because u try different parts of your arm and body too and you get used to with the high sens so it's better, because i play on a low sens on most of the gamed
Thank fuck for this video. Only other videos on the topic I can find is the ones where people aim train for thirty days and then show their *INSANE* VALORANT AIM! while neglecting to mention that they have 4k hours in CSGO and went semi-pro in CS Source. If you still read comments this late after upload, I want to ask a question. I am currently typing this from a pretty shit laptop that gets nice FPS on Valorant and Kovaaks (sometimes) but not much else, and when I do tracking scenarios on Kovaaks, I can see the lagging colors behind the targets as they move. I have a nice mouse, however my mousepad is 12 inches by 10 inches so I'm forced to play games and aim train at unrealistically high senses. Is it worth aim training on this setup while I save for an actual nice one? Will I develop bad habits as a result of struggling with FPS issues?
Thanks for the feedback and preach it! That's exactly why I made this video cuz I was tired of seeing all the 'i'm cracked after 10 hours in kovaaks' videos :P
To answer your question, that's a tough one but I would try to troubleshoot the framelag you're getting in Kovaaks, I had that problem at first too and finally worked through it after fiddling with a bunch of settings. The maker of the game (Kovaak) will even help out if it's something unique. I'd try to get a bigger mousepad if you can, but you won't necessarily develop bad habits on a higher sens. It does help to build mouse control by playing at different sens and getting a feel for what the different sens means. So the sooner you can get a proper setup the better but this isn't wasted time or counterproductive for your progress I don't think.
@@RiddBTW Gotcha. Thanks for the answer, I really appreciate it!
Any tips to improve when stuck at a rank. I have diamond and for months I have played daily and still no master. I have 2 close scens to master but the rest is diamond/plat with tgv2 being gold.
Check my section from 09:25 onward. Basically you're going to need to spend a lot of time troubleshooting your runs and trying different things to improve your scores. You could focus on a scen at a time. For example, tgv2 is a smoothness focused tracking scen (not reactivity focused) so you could do a smoothness routine (I recommend PureRoutine) every day before you start trying to get a PB on tgv2. If you're not going for a PB that day, you could just do the smoothness routine in its entirety that day. You can also try doing tg 357357 or other variations of the scen to focus on specific tough bots in that scen. You could also try lowering your sens to help with your shakiness. You'll have to go through this mindful process for every scen you want to get a PB in.
@@RiddBTW My sens is 34.5/360cm and I find it hard to track the thin bots. I'll check my vods but I didn't notice any shakiness while playing just hard to aim at bots smaller than my crosshair
@@insanejarviimeanredspot7491 I run about the same sens and I reduced it by 25 to 50% and I got a PB on that scenario (high plat score).
@@RiddBTW I'll give that a try
thankyou h3h3!
Does anyone have a link to reddit post presented at 1:28 ?
I tried to find it but couldn't for some reason, if it helps it was posted by /u/CammelloRotante, they're still active on reddit
Should I not listen to music while training?
I think this is preference - if music helps you focus, then yes I would listen to music. If the music distracts you then I would not, assuming you're looking at optimizing the time you spend training.
@@RiddBTW can’t believe the king responded 😳
Is it okay to train 1 hour a day to improve fast on voltaic and aim training if I'm also grinding valorant?
Yes, I would just have a short break between aim training and your fps game. And while you're aim training try to remain fully focused and attended.
@@RiddBTW ah okay mate. why do you recommend the short break?
@@JordanVlogs-QWA i'm actually going to put together a video once i'm done with the aim mechanic series on why it is. but it comes down to, there's a ton of research that suggests doing some sort of deep rest after intense training maximizes your learning

Hey. I wanted to tracking one day for an hour, then clicking one day for an hour, and so on. Just keep switching like for all the types of sparky aim stuff. Then on Sunday I take the day off. Is that okay?
Yes! I often practice specific aim areas each day, and that's actually how SDK practices, and he has godly aim. It's ok to take breaks if you're pushing yourself when you do train and not using the breaks as a 'crutch.' Ultimately if taking breaks keep you more consistent and you don't get burned out, that's the most important thing.
their Voltaic or some shit now:)
