So, I've always had an issue with aiming (when I played with a mouse it was because of mouse drift), so like 2 years ago I switched to tablet and my raw aim got better but my aim consistency got worse. I then took a 2 year hiatus for no specific reason, and I have returned to playing for the last week or so. I think I have nearly de-rusted, but I still have the same issues I was having before i quit. Basically, the main issue i have is that, even at the start of a map, not even under the influence of any nerves, i'll just randomly miss simple patterns by undershooting them or something (like i'll do some jumps and then when i have to aim a slider i'll overshoot/undershoot it by like an entire inch). I also sometimes feel like i have "blind spots" in my aiming, such as the top left corner and bottom right corner of the play-field. I can't help but feel like my grip varies throughout the map so i have to move my pen more in certain areas, causing my aim to feel super inconsistent (and inevitably leading to a frustrating miss). I recently put some grip tape on my pen, which slightly alleviated the issue (mainly with my grip becoming uncomfortable as a map progresses, which is still sort of an issue) but it didn't get rid of it entirely. It's really frustrating because there are maps that i should be able to fc but i can't because of seemingly random misses. that's why my top plays are entirely like 2-3 minute long burst maps because my aim is just too random for anything else. Has anyone else had a similar experience? my area is 67.5x40mm. Thanks in advance.

Help with aim consistency

As a great consistency player once said
Dont Play untill you can fc
Play untill you cant miss
I have problems with consistency myself but its a lot better since i started trying to get lowest miss count even after failing to fc, the misscount will slowly decrease turning into 0.
Try hard on every pass, not only on fc attempts
tldr sweat your ass off for lowest misscount possible imo
For the blind spots you can either experiment with your tablet area or play more maps forcing you to reach the blind spot
Also try dropping some difficulty and fc'ing a bit easier maps

Ngl, I fee like you can just give an example by sending a replay to show what's wrong

i had the video rendered here: https://link.issou.best/oYkj4k
this was a sightread play to more accurately illustrate what i wanna show
first weird miss - 0:18
second weird miss - 0:29
third weird miss - 2:43
fourth weird miss - 3:29
this is a map i feel like is within my skill range to potentially fc (or at least like 1-or-2 miss), but there's just a bunch of silly moments that happen in maps i play like these where i do some hard part and then miss an easy section by a little bit (and it causes me to fail if it leads to a stream or something)

All the misses I can see are pretty much just miss aim. In the first miss, you clearly move your cursor way too fast on the left and you completely miss the slider. In the second miss, you don't even touch the slider. In both third and fourth miss, you just click next to the circles
I can see that your consistency isn't perfect yet but don't worry, you can totally improve that by playing more longer maps to build it!!

I'm trying, but the concerning part is I haven't ever seen any improvement. playing longer maps (and believe me, i've played a lot, i have so many 3-10 misses on random 4+ minute long mid 5 stars) is physically painful because my grip changes throughout the map, and i feel like i can never truly feel comfortable aiming anything, and i am furstratingly inconsistent. some days i can do high 6 star jumps well and fc lots of stuff, other days i can barely do mid 5 star jumps and can't fc anything at all. it's just super frustrating and demoralizingAnaxii wrote:

and all the misses in this replay (i forgot to mention) were at a time when i felt like, uncomfortable aiming but idk how to stop that from happening
i can still try to figure it out though ... thanks for your input
If your having a hard time with aim consistency then try playing with HR on 3 star maps then slowly increase it until like 5 stars. It could help with consistency but it’ll mainly help with aim control. And I think you should play some tech maps 5* to 6* cuz I think your aim is still a little off and shaky, for me, in my opinion.
Looking from your replay, it seems you're struggling hitting small aim. Your aim also looks erratic for slightest note spacing. It can be problematic for moving on where pattern will be more complicated and rhythm that are not-as-obvious.
This can be made better as you keep playing more off them. Keep in mind to not 'rush' your aim when the patterns are close together. You might also want to experiment with smoothing filter but this is more beneficial in my opinion for larger jump or even cross jump

hmm, alrighty, i can try to work on that. do you have any map recommendations for training small aim? it's hard for me to find maps to train a specific technique. maybe i should play some 3 - 4 stars with DT or something for fast small aim xDNanofranne wrote:

and thank you for your input !
alright, i've been wanting to improve my HR skill anyways so i could give that a shot! i've always struggled on tech sliders and small cs (even with mouse), so either my sensitivity is too high, or my aim skill just isn't developed there. i'll give that a shot though, and now that i look through the replay some more, i do notice that my aim is very imprecise (a lot of the hits are not even near the center of the circles and it's very wobbly)Fat Fish Pete wrote:

I think I don't play a lot of small aim maps, nor do I remember on top of my head maps that are exclusively involve said thing, so I don't know.
pretty much on all maps, you can expect some aim and jump, so go ahead play anything you want!

I think I have some cuz I farmed some of them for low 100pp on high acc. Give me a few mins and I'll try to find em.Nanofranne wrote:

after seeing the replay that miss seems like reading error tbh, had that a lot
correct me if im wrong mr author
sympthoms: hand tensing up while aiming w small gaps, stressing about certain jump patterns
if you dont have any of those just try developing some more muscle memory i guess

If you said that's small, mine is ant-sized to you with 55mm lmao. But yeah, experiment what is working best for you!fdfdjfk3 wrote:

I think only one of the misses was a reading error (I had a few other reading errors but i still hit the pattern, my cursor just did a weird thing), the other ones were just stupidity/hand tensing up weirdly. but yea i need to work on my hand tensing xDKS Wicher wrote:

Also Fat Fish Pete thanks for the maps!
if you wont be able to fix the hand tensing maybe experiment with other pen grips
i aimed with my fingers only before but i switched to thumb index and wrist combination and i barely have problems with random aim errors
