Are you a WRIST aimer or an ARM aimer?

As the experts have said, arm aiming is more healthy, but Ive been wrist aiming since cs 1.6, and its just natural for me

Summary :
Small mouse pad = wrist aim
Big and thicc mouse pad= arm aim.

I use both my arm and my wrist, making the load of utilization for both half. I like to use the wrist for small adjustments and also to reach a further flick.

Utilizing both is also an option in my opinion.
Using mainly arm aiming to clear angles and moving around the place.
And using wrist aiming ONLY when you want to hold an angle and need to do very minor adjustment when someone shows up.

Thanx for the video. Actually i had asked for this topic in the last video. Didnt expect it to come out so soon. Great job😀

I used to wrist aim when I played MC a while back. I would often walk away from long sessions with bruised and sore wrists. It was not fun. Then I started playing more conventional FPS games, switched to arm, and my wrist is healing nicely. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be able to use their hands within a month of logging off.

i tend to mix both and keep my sensitivity slightly lower than the typical wrist aiming edpi. i have a wrist injury back then while working out but since then its gotten better but i can still feel the pinch sometimes.

I’m a wrist aimer & personally, it’s always BEST to warm your wrist & fingers. Also i learn sport science, arm aimer may potentially have a risk of aching your entire forearm or shoulder without you realising it. It may even stiff your shoulders as well.
Eitherway, do whatever kinds of warmup you’re comfortable with for your hands as it will help greatly & also reduce the risk of injury

To switch from wrist aiming to arm aiming, I went into Aimlabs and used the Valorant settings (EDPI 400) and just drilled different exercises for an hour. Following this I went into Valorant (800 DPI and .5 sensitivity) and went to the range to test it. Sure enough, my times for 50 targets were the same as they were before- 57-60 seconds. Obv it'll take more time to make it second nature, but sticking it out was worth it imo

I wanna use my arm so badly but my table doesn't allow me to do so. That's why Imma wrist aimer with a low edpi.

Personal tips here from someone who was solely a wrist aimer who swapped completely to arm aiming... I swapped because I started to get a lot of pain and fatigue in my wrist when I started to play my first fps games and this resulted pretty quickly in me realizing I was complete shit at these games so I really tried to improve and grind in aim trainers to get better. Even with wrist aiming I improved very quickly at first, but my wrist hurt like hell some days and would really just ache and throb after an intense aim training session. So I decided to train myself out of wrist aiming not because I thought it was the superior method but just for health reasons which I think is the more important factor really. It took a ton of practice, but first off I had to have a setup that would allow me the room to put my arm up to my elbow on the table as well as a large enough mouse mat (in my case a desk mat). Once I had the room though and started practicing, I had to lower my edpi a lot, by more than half (I currently use 400dpi x 0.6 sens), this coupled with practicing on wide 180-360 degree aim training scenarios, automatically made me use my arm more just to get my arm used to actually moving as part of my aim. But especially in the beginning often I'd find that after like 5-10mins of practicing I'd get what I call "lazy arm" where I'd start to naturally go back to aiming mostly with my wrist even with my arm on the table and with my lower edpi, I'd undershoot my targets and feel the fatigue in my wrist. What I'd do (& still do) when this happens is I just have 2 dpi settings on my mouse, my natural 400 and a halved 200, when I feel my arm getting "lazy" I just go down to 200 dpi for a few minutes in an aim trainer and this forces me to make over-exaggerated larger arm movements than I normally would have to. Then I switch back to my regular dpi, get readjusted for a min or so and my aim feels much crispier & responsive and my arm isn't being "lazy" anymore making my wrist do all the work. This was something I had to do often, I'd be so focused on the scenarios in front of me that it wouldn't be until my scores started plummeting and my wrist was throbbing that I'd notice that I wasn't really using much of my arm anymore again. Over time I just naturally used more of my arm for longer periods of time until it became a lot more natural. I still get "lazy arm" sometimes, but a lot less frequently and it takes a lot less time to just readjust, like 30 seconds or so or even just a short break if my arm is fatigued and I'm back to normal. Also this seems like a no-brainer, but just remembering to set my whole arm up to my elbow on the table before I even grabbed my mouse for regular computer use or whatever was good practice to remind myself that I was trying to practice to switch to use my whole arm. Also using a lower mouse dpi with a higher sens in game will force you to make larger mouse movements when just browsing the internet or doing whatever you normally do on the computer, this can help you get more used to the larger movements with your arm as well.

Side note; I'm not saying that arm aiming is better for actual gaming, or that you'll be a better aimer with it, this is just health related advice.. personally I've already had a massive injury and surgery to my left wrist (non-gaming related), where half my wrist & a few of my hand bones are fused together so I have limited movement on that side as well as chronic arthritis.. but having that injury made me take my health more seriously and think about what something that's just a hobby for me could cost me. Having 2 gimped wrists would really suck. Idk if I would be able to aim just as well with just my wrist today if I grinded the same amount of time, probably, maybe I'd even be slightly better not having to take time to retrain myself.. but in the long run it would probably end up being problematic with injury and stuff and sometimes there's nothing you can do to really help your wrist other than quitting altogether. So imo, if you play regularly, like multiple hours in a session at least a few days a week it's probably better to train yourself out of it while you can and have a healthier, less painful experience in the long run.
