The Best Wrist Placement Technique for Aiming

Hovering the wrist, or keeping it in contact with the mousepad are both commonly used styles, but one is far superior to the other for aiming performance. In this video we take a look at the best wrist placement technique and potential mistakes to avoid.

Yet another banger from kovaaks! You guys have been killing it lately with the videos!

For the people wondering about inconsistency because of moisture/sweat; don't bother with sleeves, invest in a small desk usb fan, have it pointing to the center of your mousepad (where your hand usually is) and turn it on if it's hot and you'll start sweating.

Happy grinding my friends!

I always placed the wrist on the pad but for very precise tracking like thin gauntlet I actually got better scores with a slight hover. If I touch the pad too hard, it introduces more jitter

My friend, I'm suffering from tendinitis in my right shoulder precisely because I use that mouse grip they call "claw", and I'm only now realizing how much it's been affecting my musculature. Thank you friend, you saved me in a way that I don't even know how to thank you!

I'm still struggling to get arm aiming right, even after al your guides. They've taught me so much but now I think it's just up to me to experiment, since everything I've tried so far has been unsuccessful

1:38 amazing, i ve never though that. Your explanation is perfect

[TheMainEvnt]

Your content is amazing. Downloaded your ami trainer today. Finger aim is fire. Fits me best. But I do use my wrist and arm as well. Good stuff bro. And I’ve never played an fps with mnk. Gotta be light on it. Very low resistanc

My black mousepad turned my wrist colour to turn dark brown cause I rubbed too much 😭

art school teach you to lock the wrist and stroke using the elbow to create longer smoother lines ... but it's f ing tedious process to learn

The question is, how does this change with wrist cushioning mouse pads, does that fix the problem or does the angle of your wrist still add uneccesary shakiness and force in your mouse?

[badinztinct]

I do the very thing you said people shouldnt, i lif my writs up and use a finger tip grip so the mouse does not touch the inside of my palm as i hate it, i want my mouse as free moving as possible when playing and my aim is above average id say

[ExplainNation]

I tried to have my wrist flat on the table but it feels like I'm straining my hand and wrist more. just after a few minutes my wrist and hand are already tired out. do I have to get use to it or am i doing something wrong?

[bangerkovaaks]

I'm happy kovaaks are giving some YT guides!

It would be cool if it was somehow implemented into your game for tutorials and such! Would help beginners get into it a lot quicker i feel like!

I play fingertip grip and I have to lift my wrist in order not to get my hand stuck with the mousepad due to sweat. Arm sleeve adds too much friction. I couldnt find an alternative

[FadlCreativeCorner]

Omg finally! I have been looking for this for years!!

[awesomegermany]

I have a question. Do pros wrest their palm on the mouse pad? Do most people do this? because I’ve been lifting my palm the whole time. I’ve been looking at many videos about body positioning, mouse grips, and in game settings trying to find as many ways as possible to improve my aim. I’ve been practicing for a while and seemed to have hit a ceiling. Can’t believe I over looked something so simple yet helpful. This improved my aim a lot. Thank you! And God Bless!

The level of immersion that Boosteroid's platform provides is unparalleled.

You SHOULD clarify that contact does not mean pressure. You do not want weight or significant amount of pressure on your wrist when in contact with the mousepad/surface. This is precisely what can lead to bad health issues, carpal tunnel, tendinitis, etc.

My homies this dawned on me all by meself, 2 things to fix, this- buy a lil palm support w glide, can buy 2 for 11-12$ on amazon "gotta search a lil bit lol they hide good deals", and the damn pinky/ring no fit issue, i use a evgax20 so my hand was screwed "big hand guy" like full on dragging my pinky. So got me some polymer clay, "saw someone use thermoplastic too" and made a rest that fit. Some mouses come that way but tbh i didnt know when i bought mine and i like it aside from that issue. "Ps keep a extra mouse skate for ur new rest, otherwise it can tryn tip. Or if in market for mouse lookup reddragon griffin or vampire, had i known beforehand definately my picks. Awesome brand in general, cheap but quality and TONS of options on keyboards, mice, and all things techy. Much love friends❤

Yesterday, i saw M0nesy using a grip i used and i went back to it, made some changes to stabilize the aim and it was pretty good with long range recoils and one shot tapping
But i guess i would still use the normal wrist technique

[charleshattan]

Finally a relevant video about this. Great job dude! Do have any suggestions/test about having the full forearm (even elbow) in contact with desk or just half ??
Thx
