5 Tips That Will Instantly Fix Your Aim

[00:00] Have you ever watched a pro hit some

[00:02] insane shots and think, "Dang, next game

[00:04] I'm going to pop off, too." So, you

[00:06] queue up, but what do you know? You end

[00:08] up whiffing every single shot. Or maybe

[00:10] your aim looks great in death matches,

[00:12] but in ranked, it looks more like this.

[00:16] Why are you heading? Well, before

[00:18] hitting Radiant, I was exactly like you.

[00:20] My aim felt inconsistent, and I didn't

[00:22] know how to fix it. Most guides at the

[00:24] time were just repeating the same

[00:26] information, and real improvement felt

[00:28] impossible. However, after learning the

[00:31] tips I'm about to show you, everything

[00:32] changed. So, that's why in this video,

[00:34] I'll go over five tips that you can use

[00:36] to fix your aim instantly. For the first

[00:39] tip, it's something that a lot of people

[00:41] don't talk about enough. Most coaches

[00:43] say your aim sucks because your

[00:45] crosshair placement is off or you're not

[00:47] aiming at heads, but no one tells you

[00:49] this. You just don't know how to control

[00:51] your mouse correctly. I'm talking about

[00:53] the way you physically move your mouse

[00:55] with your arm, your wrist, and your

[00:56] fingers. If any of those are out of

[00:58] sync, you'll keep whiffing no matter how

[01:00] many death matches you try to grind. Let

[01:02] me explain. If your sensitivity is too

[01:04] high, you're probably flicking and micro

[01:06] adjusting using just your wrist and

[01:08] fingers. That's why your aim feels

[01:10] jittery. You've basically cut your arm

[01:12] out of the equation. And if your

[01:14] sensitivity is too low, you're probably

[01:16] overrelying on your arm to aim. That

[01:18] slow sense makes your flicks feel slow.

[01:21] And turning 180° to dodge flashes

[01:23] requires a dinner tablesized mouse pad.

[01:26] So, first fix your setup. You need

[01:28] enough desk space and a mouse pad that

[01:30] lets you move freely. Then, pick a

[01:32] sensitivity that lets you use all three

[01:34] aiming systems, your arm, wrist, and

[01:37] fingers. The average eDPI that pros use

[01:40] is 267, which is around 800 DPI at 33

[01:44] in-game sensitivity. You don't have to

[01:46] copy that, but if your sensitivity makes

[01:48] you do a 720 when you move an inch,

[01:51] yeah, you're trolling. Once you've

[01:53] figured out a comfortable sensitivity,

[01:54] we move to the next step, training your

[01:56] weaknesses. And this is where most

[01:58] people mess up. If your micro

[01:59] adjustments feel twitchy or

[02:01] inconsistent, that might be because

[02:03] you're struggling to make finer, precise

[02:05] adjustments with your wrist and fingers.

[02:07] To fix this issue, raise your

[02:08] sensitivity temporarily by 50% or maybe

[02:11] even 100% and run some bots in the

[02:13] range, even at medium difficulty. Don't

[02:16] rush. Focus on steady, precise micro

[02:18] adjustments. You can also try Aimlab's

[02:20] static clicking scenarios. They'll force

[02:22] you to snap with your wrist and fingers

[02:24] only. It'll feel weird at first, but

[02:26] that's the point. You're isolating and

[02:28] training fine motor control in order to

[02:29] improve your precision. If you prefer

[02:31] Kovac, I also have a free playlist that

[02:34] you can use inside my Discord server.

[02:36] Link for that is in the description.

[02:37] Now, on the flip side, let's say you're

[02:40] struggling with crosshair placement and

[02:41] general flicks towards the target being

[02:43] completely off. In that case, it might

[02:45] be that you have poor control over the

[02:47] use of your arm while aiming. To fix

[02:49] this, lower your sense, go to the range,

[02:52] and select eliminate 50 bots. Stand in

[02:54] the center, and each time a bot spawns,

[02:56] flick cleanly to it. No overflicking by

[02:58] miles or aiming too high or too low.

[03:01] Just clean horizontal flicks with your

[03:03] arm. Then go into deathmatch and play in

[03:05] high action spots like mid ascent.

[03:08] Enemies will come from every angle and

[03:10] you'll be forced to flick side to side

[03:12] using your arm. Remember, you're not

[03:14] changing your sensitivity to play

[03:15] better, but you're changing it to train.

[03:18] That's what aim pros do. But compi,

[03:20] changing your sensitivity ruins your

[03:22] muscle memory. That's not true. Muscle

[03:24] memory is a myth that has been debunked.

[03:26] In fact, changing your sense helps you

[03:28] develop new aim muscles. And aim pros

[03:30] often change it daily for different

[03:32] scenarios that they practice on. And

[03:34] don't worry, once you finish training,

[03:36] you can switch back to your normal

[03:38] sensitivity or even adjust it slightly

[03:40] to what feels better. Now, your aim

[03:42] won't be ruined, and you'll be able to

[03:44] adapt to it quickly with a more

[03:46] well-rounded aim. And this kind of

[03:47] improvement doesn't come easy. It takes

[03:49] effort. And sometimes your rank might

[03:51] actually drop a bit before it rises

[03:53] since you're undoing bad habits you

[03:55] might have picked up and learning new

[03:57] good habits. But if you actually want to

[03:59] rank up fast, like our students who

[04:01] climbed from being hardstuck in diamond

[04:03] to hitting immortal in just a few weeks,

[04:05] our team of radiant and VCT coaches,

[04:07] including rank one players like Jawa and

[04:09] former XL player Maru, is here to help.

[04:12] We offer coaching options for every

[04:14] budget, including our flagship 10-week

[04:16] immortal roadmap program with a 500 RR

[04:19] in 10 weeks guarantee or your money

[04:22] back. We just opened up 50 new spots for

[04:24] the upcoming summer season. So, if you'd

[04:26] like to see if you'd be a good fit for,

[04:29] book your free assessment call using the

[04:30] link below. During the call, we'll break

[04:32] down your tracker, find your biggest

[04:34] bottlenecks, and give suggestions on how

[04:36] we can help. Now, we fixed our

[04:38] sensitivity and started to aim properly.

[04:40] But even if you actually improve your

[04:42] physical aim, there's one more element

[04:44] that if overlooked can make all that

[04:46] progress feel pointless, and that's your

[04:48] mouse grip. Too many players overthink

[04:51] mouse grips. They copy tens or force

[04:53] themselves into uncomfortable hand

[04:55] positions. And what they end up with is

[04:57] an incorrect grip that causes stiffness,

[04:59] inconsistent aim, and frustration. Your

[05:01] grip affects your comfort, your speed,

[05:03] and your accuracy. The right grip will

[05:05] boost your control, and the wrong grip

[05:07] will wreck your mechanics. So, here are

[05:09] three main grip types. There's a palm

[05:11] grip, claw grip, and the fingertip grip.

[05:13] For the palm grip, your entire hand

[05:15] rests on the mouse, providing stability,

[05:17] but limiting fine control of your

[05:19] fingers. It's a stable grip, but micro

[05:21] adjustments can feel clunky since your

[05:23] fingers can't move all that freely. With

[05:25] a claw grip, your palm slightly touches

[05:28] the back of the mouse while your fingers

[05:30] arch, offering a balance between

[05:31] stability and precision. Many Valiant

[05:34] pros prefer this grip style because it

[05:36] allows for consistent and stable flex

[05:38] while also allowing for more control of

[05:40] your micro adjustments. And lastly, for

[05:42] the fingertip grip, this is when only

[05:44] your fingers touch the mouse. This grip

[05:46] usually requires bigger hands or a

[05:48] smaller mouse, and it allows for great

[05:50] tracking and precise micro adjustments.

[05:52] Some pros like Scream use this grip, but

[05:54] this grip might feel less consistent and

[05:56] stable for most people that play

[05:58] Valerant. So then, what grip should we

[06:00] use and how can you find the right one

[06:02] for you? A simple method is just to

[06:04] close your eyes and place your hand on

[06:06] your mouse naturally. That's your

[06:07] default grip. Don't overthink it and

[06:09] don't force anything unnatural. If your

[06:11] grip always feels weird, it might

[06:12] actually be that your mouse shape is not

[06:14] made for your type of grip. Even a $200

[06:17] final mouse can feel awful if it's not

[06:19] shaped for you. If your expensive mouse

[06:21] is made for palm grips and you use a

[06:23] claw grip, you'll likely feel

[06:24] uncomfortable. So, what matters most in

[06:26] a mouse is a shape. To find the right

[06:28] mouse to use, I suggest you look into

[06:30] tools like Rocket Jump Ninja's site to

[06:33] find mice that match your grip and hand

[06:35] size. You can also use the website

[06:37] Eloshapes to compare your current mouse

[06:39] shape to different mice. So, in short,

[06:41] stop chasing the hype around new mice

[06:43] and focus on what fits. Now that you

[06:46] found the right grip and mouse, you're

[06:48] off to a solid start. But that alone

[06:50] doesn't solve everything. If you ever

[06:52] struggle with shaking aim, this next tip

[06:54] is going to help you fix it. Shaky aim

[06:56] is one of the most frustrating problems

[06:58] in Valerant. You line up a shot, but at

[07:00] the last second, your crosshair jitters,

[07:02] causing you to miss. Instead of fluid,

[07:04] controlled aiming, your aim feels

[07:06] erratic and inconsistent. And shaky aim

[07:08] usually stems from a combination of

[07:10] nervousness, tension control, or

[07:12] incorrect technique. If ignored, it'll

[07:15] sabotage your ability to land critical

[07:17] shots and win duels. The solution: palm

[07:19] aim. To quickly break it down for those

[07:21] of you who don't know what this is, palm

[07:23] aim simply means two things. Number one,

[07:25] you stop completely before shooting. And

[07:27] number two, you shoot your first bullet

[07:29] only when the crosshair lines up with

[07:31] your target. Mastering this technique

[07:33] helps you stay composed in high pressure

[07:35] situations and help you land shots like

[07:37] this.

[07:39] What

[07:41] is the first step to fix shaky aim is

[07:44] tension control. Many players grip their

[07:46] mouse too tightly, causing micro jitters

[07:48] that ruin tracking and flicks. Instead,

[07:50] hold your mouse gently so it's secure

[07:52] but relaxed, like holding an egg. This

[07:54] allows for smoother tracking, more

[07:56] precise flicks, and micro adjustments

[07:57] for those clean, crisp shots. Another

[08:00] reason you don't have calm aim is

[08:01] because you're rushing your shots

[08:03] instead of taking your time to micro

[08:04] adjust onto the targets head. This

[08:06] sounds obvious, but most players panic

[08:08] shoot way too early. They start firing

[08:10] before their crosshairs lined up and

[08:12] whiff their shots. So, here's a drill to

[08:13] fix that. Go to the range and select

[08:15] bots. Easy for players that are silver

[08:17] and below, and medium or hard for

[08:19] players that are gold and above. Next,

[08:20] play to the bot as fast as you can

[08:22] without losing control. And third, take

[08:24] your time to line up the shot, then

[08:26] shoot. This might sound easy, but hear

[08:28] me out. What we're doing is practicing

[08:30] with the Bardos method, which simply

[08:32] says that you need to train your aim

[08:34] like an instrument, mastering it slowly

[08:36] at first, then building up speed over

[08:38] time. But we're not done here. There's

[08:40] two rules you need to follow when doing

[08:41] this drill. Restart the bots if you miss

[08:44] in the first 5 seconds, and restart

[08:46] after three misses on easy bots or four

[08:48] misses for medium bots. This will force

[08:51] you to be intentional. You're building

[08:52] smooth flicks into micro adjustments,

[08:54] not rushing the shot. What we're also

[08:56] practicing with this drill is training

[08:58] the smoothness of your flicks and micro

[09:00] adjustments. This is because if you rely

[09:01] on your first flick to shoot instantly,

[09:03] you're going to be inaccurate a lot of

[09:05] the time. And if you're taking too much

[09:07] time to micro adjust and shoot, you're

[09:08] going to lose most gunfights before even

[09:10] shooting a bullet. So, what we're doing

[09:12] here with this drill is we're starting

[09:13] slow to make the flick to micro

[09:15] adjustment transition feel automatic and

[09:18] faster over time. Now, as much as calm

[09:21] aim is super helpful in a lot of

[09:22] scenarios, if you've watched my

[09:24] unscripted calm aim video, you'll know

[09:26] that calm aim isn't the solution for

[09:28] every type of gunfight. In fact,

[09:30] sometimes you actually need to do the

[09:32] quite opposite. Let's be real, everyone

[09:33] wants to hit those crisp head shots to

[09:35] post on TikTok. But what if you're

[09:37] actually not spraying enough? Spraying

[09:39] gets a bad rep, but the truth is, in

[09:41] tight situations against multiple

[09:43] enemies, spraying can save you rounds.

[09:45] Picture this. You're near a smoke, two

[09:47] enemies swing out, you headshot the one

[09:49] facing you, then you have to flick and

[09:51] pray to quickly one-shot the second guy.

[09:54] But if you just sprayed down the first

[09:56] target and continued your spray and

[09:58] flicked towards the next enemy, you've

[10:00] got a way better odds of killing both or

[10:02] at least doing big damage. That's what

[10:04] spray transferring is. Another great

[10:06] situation where you should spray

[10:07] transfer is if you kill an enemy and

[10:09] expect another one to swing and trade

[10:11] their teammate. In that scenario, you'll

[10:13] kill the first enemy and spray transfer

[10:15] towards the angle or smoke where the

[10:17] next enemy might peak. You'll be

[10:19] surprised with how many free kills this

[10:20] can give you. But compi, the recoil is

[10:22] random after like five bullets. Yes, but

[10:25] landing any damage can win rounds. If

[10:28] the second enemy is one shot, your

[10:29] teammies will have an easier time. The

[10:31] point is, spray transfers can save you

[10:33] rounds. And here's how to train it. In

[10:35] the range, go over the practice spots

[10:37] and aim at the first spot's head and

[10:39] begin spraying. While shooting, flick

[10:41] and transfer to another bot. Don't worry

[10:43] about headshots here. Your main goal is

[10:45] to eliminate the second bot within half

[10:47] a second of transferring. If you need

[10:48] more time than that, you're going to

[10:50] likely die in a real scenario. So, focus

[10:52] on fast, confident switches. You can

[10:54] practice this in deathmatch, too,

[10:56] especially in chaotic spots where

[10:57] enemies stack. You can try spraying on

[10:59] the first enemy that you see and

[11:01] continue your spray onto the second

[11:02] enemy that pops up. With this training,

[11:04] you'll turn panic sprays into clutch

[11:06] double kills. Now, with that fourth tip,

[11:08] you're almost there. But the final

[11:10] piece, the thing that ties everything

[11:12] together is confidence. And without it,

[11:14] even a mechanically gifted player can

[11:16] crumble. Have you ever felt like prime

[11:18] 10's in a deathmatch? You're peeking

[11:20] with confidence, hitting every shot. The

[11:22] second you load into ranked, it's like

[11:23] your aim just disappears. It's not that

[11:26] your mechanics changed, but it's your

[11:28] confidence. If you're smurfing or you're

[11:31] just playing deathmatch, there's no

[11:32] pressure. You're able to play loose,

[11:34] take fights without hesitation, and

[11:36] trust your aim. But in ranked, your RR

[11:39] is on the line, but you end up

[11:40] second-guessing your positioning. You

[11:42] end up playing scared, and you start

[11:44] missing shots that you normally hit.

[11:46] What most players don't understand is

[11:48] how much confidence impacts your aim.

[11:50] Without it, your insane mechanics are

[11:52] going to be wasted. When you overthink,

[11:54] your aim starts to slow down. And that's

[11:56] because you start to get tense. you get

[11:58] stuck in your head and you start running

[11:59] through every possible outcome instead

[12:02] of just reacting. And in Valerant, that

[12:04] moment of hesitation is a free kill for

[12:07] the enemy. So, how do you fix it? It's

[12:09] simple. First, let go of the whiffs.

[12:11] Everyone misses. It's not the end of the

[12:13] world. One bad round doesn't define your

[12:15] aim unless you let it. And second, swing

[12:18] every angle like you're going to win.

[12:19] Even if it's a 40 60 fight, peak like

[12:22] you already know that the kill is yours.

[12:24] If you consistently swing with

[12:25] confidence, you'll win more fights than

[12:27] you lose. If you want to learn more
