If you're not one for reading, or just are too lazy to read, my question is: What's a good way to train your aim to snap to notes? My aim currently will make two movements to go from note to note. One to ALMOST get on the note, and then one more to actually get it on the note. This makes me miss quite a lot, so that's why I'm asking if anyone out there has good ideas on how to get rid of this bad habit, and to train the one motion movement from note to note that all of the top players have.
So I've recently come back from a really long break of "competitive playing" in Osu. Like, a REALLY long time. Like, I haven't done anything noteworthy in terms of top plays for over half a year long. http://puu.sh/pL3Uy/09e92f3847.png I've been trying to get back into competitive playing recently, and trying to break my DT farming habits by playing 5.3*+ Nomod maps. But I've noticed that no matter what I play, may it be a 4* map, or a 6.5* map, I can only ever get A ranks. Most of the time the accuracy being 95% and higher, (I would be completely fine if it was an FC with a 95% accuracy by the way), but with (x) amount of misses.

"Tell me why you think you're missing." You may ask. Well I'll tell you why. At first I thought it was my stamina that couldn't keep up. But then I watched a few of my replays and noticed that on the jumpy jumpy part of whatever map I would be playing, I was just hitting the notes too early. My stamina was fine. I just needed to slow down and hit them at the correct times was all.
Then I played a few more maps that were on the higher end of BPM's. (185, 190, etc) and noticed I was getting the streams late. "Well there's my problem" I told myself. So I tried a few things. Adjusting my hand, moving my setup around, even stupid techniques that 'improve' your streaming, but to no avail. Then I finally realized that I was playing raw. I hadn't warmed up yet. Tried some more maps after warming up for 10-15 mins, streamed like a charm.
Then we finally come to the problem that I haven't solved yet: My aim. Now I know there can be many different reasons to miss a note. Hitting them much too early, hitting them much too late, but the majority of the time it's plain and simple. You just didn't have your cursor on the note when it needed to be hit. So I'm generally pretty good at actually hitting notes. But when there are lots of circles in a row, my aim starts getting wonky, and I sort of just throw my cursor in its general direction, and hope that I hit it. WE HAVE FOUND MY PROBLEM LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I can't snap to notes. I've watched many, many, MANY replays of me in the process of trying to find why I keep missing, and there was one thing that rang common within them all. At SOME POINT within the song, I would go to jump from one note to the next one, and it would sort of slow down as it was about to hit it, and then make a second motion to actually hit it. Which in most cases, would make me miss. This replay may or may not be a good example of what I mean. http://puu.sh/pL4Ve/17206834c2.osr I'm not sure, so here's a second one just in case http://puu.sh/pL59g/83e39340cc.osr)
