smoothness as a skill is one that's often thought of as slow aim or tracking flying targets. in reality, it's a skill that is the basis for consistent aim, and in this video we'll tell you exactly what it is and how to achieve mastery. watch as we cover the most important parts of aim that nobody talks about.

The plot of the same scenario was crazy ngl

This blew my mind. Holy, what a twist
if you guys ever need clips on what NOT to do just lmk i got you
appreciate it !
DO NOT HIT A CLIP BETTER THAN TENZ

I was standing and watching and almost fell back.😂😂
gotta keep it all the way a thousand me too
I saw the opening scene and recognized your voice and immediately thought, "Is this a Pinguefy video?". Awesome to see you're still making videos.
aw tysm!!

@@pinguefy I love you man
@@pinguefy Wow I didn't even know
The screen updating to the refresh rate was such a clean edit holy
Honestly I can hardly admit they're on the same scenario lmao, the movement of the target just seems so much different that's actually crazy
I guess that explains why I can aim better when I stop for a brief moment
😁
The beginning of this video felt so relatable to me 🥲 I feel constantly stressed and I lose my focus so I always play worse so that ruins my confidence even more; I appreciate the video though, good job Voltaic (and Pinguefy for that matter ❤)!
This is a great video! Thanks for the tips I really love how this video was put together to help us understand in simple terms why smoothness is so key to having good aim
i fweakin love voltaic
I felt like once you pointed out movement reading i got conscious of it instead of just focusing on my crosshair. The less predicting part help too. Thanks a lot!
Great video!
Great Video!
Jesus. This is the most accurate video ESPECIALLY for people who genuinely are at a level of aim and skill but still struggle and can't really understand why. I just sent this all of my friends lol.
thank u!
Super detailed and well explained, amazing video!
Thanks so much!
Great video! I will say the audio was a bit quiet. I watch most youtube videos with the volume slider at around half volume, and this was still a little on the quiet side when I turned it all the way up. However, the content, per usual, was great.
ty for the feedback!!
We will make sure to get that right for next time around, appreciate it a lot!
When you showed 2 players playing pilltrack I instantly noticed that something was off. I could follow the targets with my eyes but the "erratic" movement of the 2nd player made it harder. A very good point was made here. If you play a game with a longer time to kill, you sometimes can do a reset. What I do is to swipe my mouse to the target, lift it and put in my deafult (most comfortable and neutral) position and go on from there. This does take some time and is very dependable on the situation but it is a physical and mental reset for me.
insanely good video, hauntr clips and more were all great references to what was being mentioned to visually see good technique🐐
his clips are chef's kiss
i've rewatched flower like 20 times in the past two months, had to throw in some clips

Incredibly educational video and very enjoyable to watch :)
ty!!
Insane video i think this helped me alot
Glad to hear that!
Great guide!! VT and penguify cooking as always ❤
ty!!
@@pinguefy my goat
Ty sir gravity !!
good video!
I know that feeling so much. I feel like I'm just not focused, I'm being too « natural » and I have to stop for a split second in order to « soft reset » my mind, otherwise I'm just getting mad because I'm missing, so I miss even more
People who aren't predictable are also pretty rare, honestly sometimes I hit more by moving my mouse less and letting them get into it lol
Sometimes less is more yes, people tend to overreact when not calm & composed
2:57 why he say readjust like that 🤣
:3
great vid
thank u!
works👍
that baseball clip made me flinch 🥹
What do you think is better VDIM or matty threadhold
Can I get your aimlab theme code?
Don't have it on hand srry!

@@origami7433 🤫
like zeonlo aim
Hey voltaic! When you panned out of the intitial presentation of left and right side of aimlab aiming don't refer to "on the left" or right if its not on screen, instead e.g. "less erratic"
Edit: Its easier to follow through
thanks for the feedback!
DESEO CLIPS 😍
Bro this has to be the first aim video I’ve seen that mentions tension and gripping the mouse intensely. For some reason, some days when I boot up to play Valo or Apex I end up gripping the mouse so tightly that my hand physically hurts. I can tell I’m gripping and shaking for no reason at all. Maybe it’s the mental pressure of attempting to rank up. But generally I’ve notice that I seem aim well when I just want to play for fun and not take the game seriously which is unfortunate. Still have no clue how to combat or remedy this issue.
yeah sadly it's a very difficult issue to remedy. i do believe that tension naturally arises when faced with something out of your comfort zone, whether that's an aiming, social, or clutch situation, etc. i think the answer to the aiming side of things is what i say in the video: deliberate practice to improve whatever underlying issue causes you tension, and developing an awareness (most in practice situations) of when you are tensing.
but the latter two are really difficult as it's more a mental battle. learning some breathing exercises helped me take a mental reset and calm down mid fight/game, but outside of that, i took a brute force approach where i grinded aim mechanics so much that even a 50% debuff to aim skill is still enough to win most fights LOL
@@pinguefy I like that advice a lot! Thanks for the reply! I do enjoy the rush of clutches and stressful moments the most. It’s what makes me keep playing the game. Sometimes I’m aware that I’m holding down on my mouse too much that it hurts and I try to change it by doing it more lightly but it just doesn’t work. I’ll try some different mouse’s soon because the mouse is a bit bigger than me and my keyboard is smaller and cramped. My fingers and hands always end up aching and hurting after/during a game session. I’ll try to be more aware and fix it. Also I’ve tried aim training games like aim labs but it also hurts my hand. For some reason when I focus to aim it ends up hurting more than when I’m not aware and not focusing.
what scenarios should I grind to get good at this
We added links to a few playlists in the description, but generally this info applies to any scenarios, so any playlist with focused practice you will see results with. You can check our discord for more playlist and stuff.
If you want to look for specific scenarios do some of the static/precise ones, and maybe ones with regen (there's filters and tags for it on our scenario browser) link in description for that page.

So can you make me a playlist for this?
There is some playlists we have that work on it for tracking in the description (and more in our discord), but it's important to be cognizant of your mistakes, and actively work on improving it.
How did you show the mouse path at 2:30?
it's an aimlabs replay setting!
ah, thx a lot!
I hear pinguefy! Miss the content, I owe my aim to the man that introduced raw accel!
thank you!!
@@pinguefy You're amazing!
You forgot to mention VT Viscose In the clip credits.
You were right, fixed that :d
viscose fans dont miss nun
someone needs to coach me cause my aim is beyond cooked
how i can active that heat mouse tracker visualy?
it's an aimlabs replay setting!
Could that be fixed over time? Because I'm new and it's hard for me.
Yes, absolutely! Like with everything, it just takes practice and persistence.
definitely!! smoothness is a skill built over many many hours of intentional practice
I hope I'm not too late, I loved the video and gained a lot from it. But a question still remains in my head. How can I "read" movement in aimtrainers if their models are just a solid cylindrical shape? and not a character model looking at either left or right?
by reading i mean like a book, taking in as much info as possible from the screen to inform our aim.
not reading like how u "read" somebody's next move in a fighting game, there's no prediction with the way we're talking about it here
thank u btw!
speed, acceleration, depth/size of the target in my screen, and direction in any given moment are all "variables" that you can still pay attention to and "read" in aimtrainers :>
what is the game on 1:32 ?

pinguefy my glorious king :D
hello!!
holy shit i missed you pinguefy
this is completely unrelated but i clicked on this channel for the first time and i realised "hey thats the guy that made that cool tf2 video" i had no idea xd
:D
I cant smoothly track a slow moving target. Is there anything I can do to improve that. With no deathgripping of the mouse and no lack of confidence when tracking a slow target sometimes i just stop moving my mouse for like a fraction of a second I dont know why and I havent found a way to stop. Any recommendations or advice?
this sounds like a mechanical issue or prediction issue. if ur predicting you will stop tracking due to anticipating a directional change, and if it's a mechanical issue, you will just need to put in more time practicing to maintain continuity in a longer track
@@pinguefyfor more context even when doing a task where I know exactly when the bot will turn the same thing occurs. Also Thanks for the advice!!
Sounds like you’re uncomfortable with your sensitivity. Likely your sens is too high so when you track a slow target you’re putting too little movement for your mouse to register a continuous smooth motion.
Could be you hold your mouse at a weird angle as well. You want the transition between fine wrist movement and arm movement to be fluid.
I used to do that a lot when I used a shitty mouse and had my sens too high
What game it that at 1:36

What game 1:34 ?

2:18 Is there Anyone have this playlist?
1 wall 6 targets small (1w6ts)
whats the game at 1:33

what game was playing at 1:30

How do you even "read" your opponent, how could you know about cues when in most games, the characters models can go left and right without telegraphing like we do IRL
by reading i mean like reading a book, where are taking in as much info as possible to inform where to place your crosshair on the enemy
If you were the opponent when would you dodge, jump, exc?
Until you understand that you won’t be able to read.
Honestly it takes a surprising amount of map knowledge to understand where the opponent is going to dodge to

@@pinguefy Are you the same guy as this channel?
@@Zaptrap101 i worked on this video yes!
I won't understand. Is reading your opponent not the same thing as predicting what they'll do?
by reading i mean like reading a book, where are taking in as much info as possible to inform where to place your crosshair on the enemy
1:34 every part of aerm
what is the difference between reading and predicting i still don't get it. is there even a difference?
reading means using the information on screen to determine where to move your mouse, mostly reaction. prediction means inferring or guessing what the enemy will do and moving your mouse based on that information.
@@pinguefy ok ty
pro tip: You just need to look like Kami'izumi Hidetsuna from manga Vagabond to use calm aim technique.
thank you
Is it important to have same sense in different games?
nope!
Ok, thx
What’s the game at 3:20

@@user-sz4le5fi2u if you mean player movement options i have enjoyed roboquest and echo point nova, but if u mean enemies moving erratically there's sadly nothing comparable to an aim trainer. however i do feel like u can get value from practicing on simple enemy movement too if you approach it with the right mindset

No idea, if your account got compromised you can use the appeal server
Why is every aim training community moving away from kovaaks
This info applies to any aim trainer, not sure how that is even relevant
@@VoltaicAim well MattyOW is mostly aimlabs now, you guys make your content on aimlabs, RA is sponsored by aimlabs. It has nothing to do with the video I’m just curious the logistics

why did u blur my face out at 4:06 am I that ugly
