What is the importance of grip in aim training according to Mattyow?

Mattyow emphasizes that grip doesn't significantly matter in aim training. The priority should be comfort, health, and longevity. He suggests that the grip should be the most natural and comfortable position for the player.

Should you use the same sensitivity in aim training as in your main game?

Mattyow advises that you do not necessarily need to use the same sensitivity in aim training as in your main game. He uses different sensitivities for different games and scenarios, and believes that changing sensitivity can help adapt to various muscle groups.

Does changing sensitivity in aim training affect muscle memory?

Mattyow clarifies that changing sensitivity in aim training does not hurt or diminish muscle memory. He dispels the myth that it messes up muscle memory, stating that our brains can adapt quickly to changes in sensitivity.

How long does it take to see changes in-game from aim training?

Mattyow indicates that the time it takes to see changes in-game varies from person to person and depends on the amount of time spent in the trainer and the relevance of the training scenarios to the main game.

What is the recommended duration for aim training sessions?

Mattyow suggests that the duration of aim training sessions should vary per person and their goals. He generally advises against training for more than an hour and a half to avoid strain and potential health issues.

Why might aim training not seem to apply in-game?

Mattyow points out that aim training might not seem to apply in-game due to doing the wrong scenarios or having a flawed mindset about aim training. He stresses that aim training works subtly and requires attention to detail to notice improvements.

Can a dirty mouse pad significantly affect performance?

Mattyow believes that a dirty mouse pad can affect performance, but the impact is more related to the pad's condition rather than cleanliness. He suggests that different types of pads have varying lifespans and that maintaining them is important.

How can you stop jittering or shaking during aim training?

What is Mattyow's stance on routines in aim training?

Mattyow considers routines useful for their structuring and goal-grinding benefits. However, he has moved away from strict routines, preferring to play various scenarios that suit his needs. He suggests that routines are beneficial for those who prefer a structured approach.
