Problem details:
I know that this is probably a commonly asked question, but how do I aim on tablet? I recently switched to tablet and my aim is terrible. It wasn't great on mouse to begin with since I'm considerably better at streams than I am aim. My problem is that while I can still hit a 200-240 BPM stream I die on the following jump section. It's not my tapping, (I don't think anyways.) so what is it, and what can I do to improve?

Oh, and please don't just say play more; that's obvious. I'm looking for something that I can target and get better at.

TLDR: research some grips and experiment with said grips and areas.

At first, it will feel as if your aim is considerably worse - it is. Naturally, it's an entirely new playstyle.

First, do some research. Experiment on various grips (there are now even more videos on this topic, I am a dynamic tripod) - there is no golden standard one size fits all. So I suggest taking some time between them after trying them all (on easier maps, testing how well you can move around the playfield; reach, corners, speed, etc.) In simpler words, how comfortable you are.

Don't test the grip on limit-breaking maps, easier ones, but not too easy, you still need a good test. For you I say 3*s to low 4*s. And use variety to your advantage, don't just use the same map to test everything.

And not just grips - areas, and ergonomics/posture are vital too. They are all intertwined. Holding the pen higher up usually comes with a larger area than holding the pen at the base. As you can use different muscles to move the pen; your fingers, wrist, forearms, or even your entire arm.

Finding that combination that works for you and amending it over time can be a journey, don't let yourself get hardstuck, research different ways to use your new tablet, and experiment (settings, grips, area). Let all the options be known to you, choose what's most comfortable and go from there.

Happy end of year festivities!
