## Summary

The video presents five tips to improve aim in Valorant, addressing common issues like inconsistent aim, shaky aim, and lack of confidence. The creator shares personal experience and techniques used by pros to help viewers fix their aim instantly.

### Key Points

- **Control Your Mouse Correctly** [00:39] — Most players don't know how to physically move their mouse using arm, wrist, and fingers in sync. High sensitivity leads to jittery wrist/finger aim; low sensitivity makes arm aim slow. Fix by choosing a sensitivity that uses all three systems, e.g., average pro eDPI 267 (800 DPI at 0.33 in-game).
- **Train Your Weaknesses** [01:54] — If micro adjustments are twitchy, raise sensitivity temporarily by 50-100% and practice precise adjustments on bots or Aimlab static clicking. If crosshair placement and flicks are off, lower sensitivity and practice clean horizontal flicks with arm in deathmatch. Changing sensitivity temporarily helps develop new aim muscles.
- **Find the Right Mouse Grip** [04:48] — Three main grips: palm (stable but limited finger control), claw (balance of stability and precision, preferred by many Valorant pros), fingertip (great tracking and micro adjustments but less stable). Find your natural grip by closing your eyes and placing hand on mouse. Ensure mouse shape matches your grip using tools like Rocket Jump Ninja or Eloshapes.
- **Fix Shaky Aim with Calm Aim** [06:52] — Shaky aim stems from nervousness, tension, or incorrect technique. Solution: palm aim (stop before shooting, shoot only when crosshair lines up). Control tension by holding mouse gently like an egg. Practice the Bardos method: train slowly first, then build speed. Drill: go to range, pick bots, take time to line up shot, restart if miss in first 5 seconds or after 3-4 misses.
- **Spray Transfer When Needed** [09:30] — Spraying is useful in tight situations against multiple enemies. Spray transfer: after killing first enemy, continue spray onto second. Train by aiming at first bot's head, start spraying, then flick to second bot within half a second. Practice in deathmatch in chaotic spots.
- **Build Confidence** [11:08] — Confidence impacts aim significantly. In ranked, pressure causes hesitation and tension. Fix by letting go of whiffs and swinging every angle like you're going to win. Consistent confident swings lead to winning more fights.

### Conclusion

Improving aim in Valorant requires proper mouse control, targeted training, correct grip, calm aim technique, spray transfer skills, and confidence. Applying these tips consistently will lead to noticeable improvement.

## Transcript

Have you ever watched a pro hit some
insane shots and think, "Dang, next game
I'm going to pop off, too." So, you
queue up, but what do you know? You end
up whiffing every single shot. Or maybe
your aim looks great in death matches,
but in ranked, it looks more like this.
Why are you heading? Well, before
hitting Radiant, I was exactly like you.
My aim felt inconsistent, and I didn't
know how to fix it. Most guides at the
time were just repeating the same
information, and real improvement felt
impossible. However, after learning the
tips I'm about to show you, everything
changed. So, that's why in this video,
I'll go over five tips that you can use
to fix your aim instantly. For the first
tip, it's something that a lot of people
don't talk about enough. Most coaches
say your aim sucks because your
crosshair placement is off or you're not
aiming at heads, but no one tells you
this. You just don't know how to control
your mouse correctly. I'm talking about
the way you physically move your mouse
with your arm, your wrist, and your
fingers. If any of those are out of
sync, you'll keep whiffing no matter how
many death matches you try to grind. Let
me explain. If your sensitivity is too
high, you're probably flicking and micro
adjusting using just your wrist and
fingers. That's why your aim feels
jittery. You've basically cut your arm
out of the equation. And if your
sensitivity is too low, you're probably
overrelying on your arm to aim. That
slow sense makes your flicks feel slow.
And turning 180° to dodge flashes
requires a dinner tablesized mouse pad.
So, first fix your setup. You need
enough desk space and a mouse pad that
lets you move freely. Then, pick a
sensitivity that lets you use all three
aiming systems, your arm, wrist, and
fingers. The average eDPI that pros use
is 267, which is around 800 DPI at 33
in-game sensitivity. You don't have to
copy that, but if your sensitivity makes
you do a 720 when you move an inch,
yeah, you're trolling. Once you've
figured out a comfortable sensitivity,
we move to the next step, training your
weaknesses. And this is where most
people mess up. If your micro
adjustments feel twitchy or
inconsistent, that might be because
you're struggling to make finer, precise
adjustments with your wrist and fingers.
To fix this issue, raise your
sensitivity temporarily by 50% or maybe
even 100% and run some bots in the
range, even at medium difficulty. Don't
rush. Focus on steady, precise micro
adjustments. You can also try Aimlab's
static clicking scenarios. They'll force
you to snap with your wrist and fingers
only. It'll feel weird at first, but
that's the point. You're isolating and
training fine motor control in order to
improve your precision. If you prefer
Kovac, I also have a free playlist that
you can use inside my Discord server.
Link for that is in the description.
Now, on the flip side, let's say you're
struggling with crosshair placement and
general flicks towards the target being
completely off. In that case, it might
be that you have poor control over the
use of your arm while aiming. To fix
this, lower your sense, go to the range,
and select eliminate 50 bots. Stand in
the center, and each time a bot spawns,
flick cleanly to it. No overflicking by
miles or aiming too high or too low.
Just clean horizontal flicks with your
arm. Then go into deathmatch and play in
high action spots like mid ascent.
Enemies will come from every angle and
you'll be forced to flick side to side
using your arm. Remember, you're not
changing your sensitivity to play
better, but you're changing it to train.
That's what aim pros do. But compi,
changing your sensitivity ruins your
muscle memory. That's not true. Muscle
memory is a myth that has been debunked.
In fact, changing your sense helps you
develop new aim muscles. And aim pros
often change it daily for different
scenarios that they practice on. And
don't worry, once you finish training,
you can switch back to your normal
sensitivity or even adjust it slightly
to what feels better. Now, your aim
won't be ruined, and you'll be able to
adapt to it quickly with a more
well-rounded aim. And this kind of
improvement doesn't come easy. It takes
effort. And sometimes your rank might
actually drop a bit before it rises
since you're undoing bad habits you
might have picked up and learning new
good habits. But if you actually want to
rank up fast, like our students who
climbed from being hardstuck in diamond
to hitting immortal in just a few weeks,
our team of radiant and VCT coaches,
including rank one players like Jawa and
former XL player Maru, is here to help.
We offer coaching options for every
budget, including our flagship 10-week
immortal roadmap program with a 500 RR
in 10 weeks guarantee or your money
back. We just opened up 50 new spots for
the upcoming summer season. So, if you'd
like to see if you'd be a good fit for,
book your free assessment call using the
link below. During the call, we'll break
down your tracker, find your biggest
bottlenecks, and give suggestions on how
we can help. Now, we fixed our
sensitivity and started to aim properly.
But even if you actually improve your
physical aim, there's one more element
that if overlooked can make all that
progress feel pointless, and that's your
mouse grip. Too many players overthink
mouse grips. They copy tens or force
themselves into uncomfortable hand
positions. And what they end up with is
an incorrect grip that causes stiffness,
inconsistent aim, and frustration. Your
grip affects your comfort, your speed,
and your accuracy. The right grip will
boost your control, and the wrong grip
will wreck your mechanics. So, here are
three main grip types. There's a palm
grip, claw grip, and the fingertip grip.
For the palm grip, your entire hand
rests on the mouse, providing stability,
but limiting fine control of your
fingers. It's a stable grip, but micro
adjustments can feel clunky since your
fingers can't move all that freely. With
a claw grip, your palm slightly touches
the back of the mouse while your fingers
arch, offering a balance between
stability and precision. Many Valiant
pros prefer this grip style because it
allows for consistent and stable flex
while also allowing for more control of
your micro adjustments. And lastly, for
the fingertip grip, this is when only
your fingers touch the mouse. This grip
usually requires bigger hands or a
smaller mouse, and it allows for great
tracking and precise micro adjustments.
Some pros like Scream use this grip, but
this grip might feel less consistent and
stable for most people that play
Valerant. So then, what grip should we
use and how can you find the right one
for you? A simple method is just to
close your eyes and place your hand on
your mouse naturally. That's your
default grip. Don't overthink it and
don't force anything unnatural. If your
grip always feels weird, it might
actually be that your mouse shape is not
made for your type of grip. Even a $200
final mouse can feel awful if it's not
shaped for you. If your expensive mouse
is made for palm grips and you use a
claw grip, you'll likely feel
uncomfortable. So, what matters most in
a mouse is a shape. To find the right
mouse to use, I suggest you look into
tools like Rocket Jump Ninja's site to
find mice that match your grip and hand
size. You can also use the website
Eloshapes to compare your current mouse
shape to different mice. So, in short,
stop chasing the hype around new mice
and focus on what fits. Now that you
found the right grip and mouse, you're
off to a solid start. But that alone
doesn't solve everything. If you ever
struggle with shaking aim, this next tip
is going to help you fix it. Shaky aim
is one of the most frustrating problems
in Valerant. You line up a shot, but at
the last second, your crosshair jitters,
causing you to miss. Instead of fluid,
controlled aiming, your aim feels
erratic and inconsistent. And shaky aim
usually stems from a combination of
nervousness, tension control, or
incorrect technique. If ignored, it'll
sabotage your ability to land critical
shots and win duels. The solution: palm
aim. To quickly break it down for those
of you who don't know what this is, palm
aim simply means two things. Number one,
you stop completely before shooting. And
number two, you shoot your first bullet
only when the crosshair lines up with
your target. Mastering this technique
helps you stay composed in high pressure
situations and help you land shots like
this.
What
is the first step to fix shaky aim is
tension control. Many players grip their
mouse too tightly, causing micro jitters
that ruin tracking and flicks. Instead,
hold your mouse gently so it's secure
but relaxed, like holding an egg. This
allows for smoother tracking, more
precise flicks, and micro adjustments
for those clean, crisp shots. Another
reason you don't have calm aim is
because you're rushing your shots
instead of taking your time to micro
adjust onto the targets head. This
sounds obvious, but most players panic
shoot way too early. They start firing
before their crosshairs lined up and
whiff their shots. So, here's a drill to
fix that. Go to the range and select
bots. Easy for players that are silver
and below, and medium or hard for
players that are gold and above. Next,
play to the bot as fast as you can
without losing control. And third, take
your time to line up the shot, then
shoot. This might sound easy, but hear
me out. What we're doing is practicing
with the Bardos method, which simply
says that you need to train your aim
like an instrument, mastering it slowly
at first, then building up speed over
time. But we're not done here. There's
two rules you need to follow when doing
this drill. Restart the bots if you miss
in the first 5 seconds, and restart
after three misses on easy bots or four
misses for medium bots. This will force
you to be intentional. You're building
smooth flicks into micro adjustments,
not rushing the shot. What we're also
practicing with this drill is training
the smoothness of your flicks and micro
adjustments. This is because if you rely
on your first flick to shoot instantly,
you're going to be inaccurate a lot of
the time. And if you're taking too much
time to micro adjust and shoot, you're
going to lose most gunfights before even
shooting a bullet. So, what we're doing
here with this drill is we're starting
slow to make the flick to micro
adjustment transition feel automatic and
faster over time. Now, as much as calm
aim is super helpful in a lot of
scenarios, if you've watched my
unscripted calm aim video, you'll know
that calm aim isn't the solution for
every type of gunfight. In fact,
sometimes you actually need to do the
quite opposite. Let's be real, everyone
wants to hit those crisp head shots to
post on TikTok. But what if you're
actually not spraying enough? Spraying
gets a bad rep, but the truth is, in
tight situations against multiple
enemies, spraying can save you rounds.
Picture this. You're near a smoke, two
enemies swing out, you headshot the one
facing you, then you have to flick and
pray to quickly one-shot the second guy.
But if you just sprayed down the first
target and continued your spray and
flicked towards the next enemy, you've
got a way better odds of killing both or
at least doing big damage. That's what
spray transferring is. Another great
situation where you should spray
transfer is if you kill an enemy and
expect another one to swing and trade
their teammate. In that scenario, you'll
kill the first enemy and spray transfer
towards the angle or smoke where the
next enemy might peak. You'll be
surprised with how many free kills this
can give you. But compi, the recoil is
random after like five bullets. Yes, but
landing any damage can win rounds. If
the second enemy is one shot, your
teammies will have an easier time. The
point is, spray transfers can save you
rounds. And here's how to train it. In
the range, go over the practice spots
and aim at the first spot's head and
begin spraying. While shooting, flick
and transfer to another bot. Don't worry
about headshots here. Your main goal is
to eliminate the second bot within half
a second of transferring. If you need
more time than that, you're going to
likely die in a real scenario. So, focus
on fast, confident switches. You can
practice this in deathmatch, too,
especially in chaotic spots where
enemies stack. You can try spraying on
the first enemy that you see and
continue your spray onto the second
enemy that pops up. With this training,
you'll turn panic sprays into clutch
double kills. Now, with that fourth tip,
you're almost there. But the final
piece, the thing that ties everything
together is confidence. And without it,
even a mechanically gifted player can
crumble. Have you ever felt like prime
10's in a deathmatch? You're peeking
with confidence, hitting every shot. The
second you load into ranked, it's like
your aim just disappears. It's not that
your mechanics changed, but it's your
confidence. If you're smurfing or you're
just playing deathmatch, there's no
pressure. You're able to play loose,
take fights without hesitation, and
trust your aim. But in ranked, your RR
is on the line, but you end up
second-guessing your positioning. You
end up playing scared, and you start
missing shots that you normally hit.
What most players don't understand is
how much confidence impacts your aim.
Without it, your insane mechanics are
going to be wasted. When you overthink,
your aim starts to slow down. And that's
because you start to get tense. you get
stuck in your head and you start running
through every possible outcome instead
of just reacting. And in Valerant, that
moment of hesitation is a free kill for
the enemy. So, how do you fix it? It's
simple. First, let go of the whiffs.
Everyone misses. It's not the end of the
world. One bad round doesn't define your
aim unless you let it. And second, swing
every angle like you're going to win.
Even if it's a 40 60 fight, peak like
you already know that the kill is yours.
If you consistently swing with
confidence, you'll win more fights than
you lose. If you want to learn more
