Tracking Mechanics No One Else Talks About (All Games)

Today I'm going unveil some of the physical mechanics behind tracking and teach you what you need to do to incorporate it into your routines. I go into the biomechanics and physiology to help you better understand how they play a role in improving your tracking.

I dont even give a shit about improving anymore but with 14 years of fps experience i find your videos very interesting. Keep uploading pls :)

[GLvDOS]

What chair is the one in the ball toss clip? 5:40?

[iamen]

Nice video, hope you get a lot of views.

[TheHoldDoor]

Nice video as always. Do you think you could come up with a routine for people suffering from/want to prevent cubital tunnel syndrome? Or elbow pain from resting on the table too much? I think its a less common injury but happens to quite some people as well, considering Faker got it too

[Gershy]

Can you do a video on the best normal exercises to do at gym/home for gaming/aiming as well as health in general? For instance do pull ups or push ups help a certain muscle that is beneficial in gaming etc.

[SooFragZ]

Great video Dr. Hwu who do you believe is the best professional player from a mechanical performance perspective

[backfire]

How would you go about balancing these exercises with aim training? One of the things I’ve been trying to avoid the most is overtraining, as certain scenario types can be hard on the rotator cuff and wrist (like you were saying were the common muscles used)

[enrinick]

when i got addicted to play Osu (6 hours sessions of anime opening gaming), i make breaks to stretching my entire arm and hands (and back), and never got an injure, i literally start when start to got hurt, only stretch save my entire day and i never stoped, today i take some break in work only for that

[Katze]

interesting stuff but is there any evidence that suggests more strength actually improves tracking? Mice are light nowadays and for tracking heavy games people usually use a fast mousepad so the force required is minimal. It's all about precision, not strength...
And endurance is not an issue either. I can track a target for minutes without needing a break but in most games you only need to track an enemy for a couple of seconds max.

[WheresDXninjaDX]

I have a very low friction mousepad paired with a very light weight mouse + a very high sensitivity, and when I track I try to use basically no tension at all. Would this be a bad thing, should I be applying tension to work the muscle group and strengthen it?

[Khremesi]

If I didn't know you, I would've quit when I saw tracking issues related to bad performance in Valorant

[lucasaro]

hey ive been watching your videos for a while on wrist pain and forearm pain and have been wondering if you would have any tips as i cant sit down for more than a few minutes at my desk before feeling pain in my forearms I've tried everything from moving things around to different positions. i think it might be my desk im not sure any kind of help would be appreciated.
also really good vid

[cringekid]

Im studying aim science in esports school.

[FortniteOG]

I have a mouse that is just small enough for me to move it with my palm and with my index and middle finger over the left and right click, I hardly every use my pinky with this mouse and my aim is almost a laser once I get warmed up

[TEA.skillissues]

me who is stuck in 60 hz refresh rate laptop and can only track with eye

[jaymz]

Could tell this was a cool video not even 2 mins into it.

[tajbashir]

*my ping is around 10 and suffering from players with 218 ping*

[NyawttyClips]

its always videos on mouse everyone jokes about controller and yet you arnt pro on controller are you all? no so stfu about it being broken i just want videos and aim trainers for controller were stuck with garbage ass aim labs and it sucks ass for controller... Im currently mastering the havocs recoil in apex and its helping with my aim
