I used to be a wrist aimer, but decided to switched to arm aiming, in the end acquired a hybrid aim style, honestly one of the best decisions in my life as the wrist pain was immeasurable Great vid btw! Deserves more attention
1:23 - That's false. An arc movement leads to a perfect straight line on the screen, while following your advice and trying to maintain a horizontal line on the mouse pad rather than screen leads to bad aim, speaking from experience.
I started out with CSGO and Valorant and was a 100% wrist aimer. Then 2 years ago I found aim trainers and started playing apex at the same time. Now I play on a medium high sensitivity (40cm/360) and have transitioned to more of an arm/hybrid style. Wrist will always play a huge role in adjustments and fine aiming but my arm does most of the work. This video is on point for everyone who is interested in the topic of aiming and want to develop their skills, no doubt.
I have a simple argument in favor of aiming with your hand. I myself used to use wrist aiming, played on high sensitivity 16cm/360, but switched to 30cm/360 and aiming with my hand. Try moving the mouse 1 centimeter in a game with high sensitivity and with low sensitivity, it is much easier to do it with low sensitivity, it is simple logic and physics. No matter how good you are with high sensitivity, you still will not be able to achieve the microcontrol that low sensitivity and priority aiming with your hand gives you. However, in some games I still use wrist aiming and high sensitivity, OSU for example
got into arm aiming and my shoulder can hurt so bad after a few hours and yes i go to the gym. Now i use my wrist with very high sens (according to most ppl) and i play FPS very well. Honestly, it all comes to preference
I play on a laptop placed on top of a foldable table with minimal space for mouse movement, so I can only use wrist-aiming for now. Also, can you help explain to us if playing sitting on a floor mattress/bed with legs straight is acceptable, health-wise? I have a small room so I play on my floor bed, and when I get really "locked-in" aiming in-game, my feet tend to flex downward (plantar-flexion) like they want to have something to support the soles.
I have a question, does everyone directly face their desk when they play? I functionally cant play like that. I have to tilt my torso a little to the right or else I cant functionally aim.

This is the way!
I play overwatch and tracer I use my arm for big flicks and wrist for more precise tracking

@@1HP I’ve also noticed an effective strategy is to use your arm for tracking and use the wrist at the same time for little corrections

Great stuff Elliott!
Do you anchor any part of your arm/forearm/elbow when aiming? should you or should you not? :D

You rock Elliot
