Tensing up while aiming‬ · forum‬

Problem details: My method of aiming is tensing up my whole arm while aiming (only right hand). This causes my aim to be extremely snappy and appear to be late, although it's actually on time.

I'm a mouse player, my posture is fine, and it's definitely a problem with my aim because I mostly play stamina maps.

The issue with this style of aiming is that it makes cross screen jumps incredibly difficult, because most of the time you're just guessing where the circles are and not actually aiming.

I've looked at other threads, but they all ask how to not to occasionally tense up, in my case it's my entire playstyle.

My tapping hand does its own thing, I don't synchronize my hands

Any advice? Is this aim terrible or should I try to switch? What is your method of aiming?

I think this would belong into the gameplay part of the forum but that's not why I'm replying to this post.

Tensing up either hand is a very bad habit and you should make efforts to not tense up.
Despite of how it may feel, tensing up makes you play worse in most scenarios.
Also regarding your take on cross screen jumps: People know where the circles are, they don't guess it. It's just actually hitting the jump can be pretty difficult, but reading isn't the issue.
I'm guessing what you're trying to say is that when tensing you rely on muscle memory instead of "actually aiming" but osu! is a muscle memory game pretty much.

TL;DR don't tense, you probably play worse
