Tht grip might affect the wrist joint and forearm. If i used tht grip i know my wrist joint would start hurting in a few weeks. I mean of course it differs from person to person bt I definitely believe tht his grip might affect the wrist joints badly
I used this grip for half a year and it was the most easy one on the hand, even more than a relaxed palm (my twists grip was a relaxed/resting one too, no fast twitchy movements)
I use many grips, including this one before i even knew twists did it cuz there is a certain ease and comfort in it, particularly its similar to palm believe it or not cuz there are no micro-adjustments just your arm movement
back in the old days of csgo, players didnt have much space so they tilted the keyboard, so now most gamers tilt it for comfort, mouse space, and ease for keys
His mouse grip is actually in my opinion not bad for ergonomics. Your traditionally grilling your mouse, your wrist will incline a bit. With Twistzz, his grip is a straighter angle of the wrist. I don't use this grip anymore, but when using the grip it felt quite comfortable especially when relaxed.
Plus, his wrist is ABOVE the table, meaning less pressure on the carpal tunnel. And he aims using his elbow, not his wrist. It may cause finger problems, but not carpal tunnel.
Mouse grip definitely changes the feel of aim and how accurate it is. In my opinion everyone has a different preferences because our brains work uniquely different from one another, so having the mouse sensor in a specific position below our hand can change depending how our brains depend to work in the most efficient way. A lot of people choose mouse grips because of other pro players, content creators, etc.. which I think is completely wrong since it’s heavily related to muscle memory to what you’re naturally used to.
@@SealedKiller Because they aren't, I think it's good to experiment a bit with mouse grips but ultimately you should just use what's more comfortable for you
When I see his grips, it looks like a grip you use for complete control over the mouse and a grip you use if you are comfortable using your arm as well as wrist.
@@teejay3082 Yeah G502, man. My hands are 9 inches long from the heel of my palm to the tip of my middle finger, and about 5 inches wide from the outside of my pinkie knuckle to outer index knuckle.
Tbh it’s a really good grip tbh. More control at the palm not in the palm. Keeps your arm up so the only thing moving on the pad is the mouse. Some ppl slow down with the friction of their arms since they hold the mouse so low.
I remember having a friend who uses his left hand to control the mouse when playing counter strike. He never bothered with binding his keys so he's basically shooting using his middle finger and aiming down with his index finger.
I already know. His my favorite player. When he was first recruiter for Liquid he was forced to use razer mice and that’s the grip that fit him for the death adder
wait wtf, for me, its actually quite comfortable and with the whole weight of my hand, the mouse stops immediately. its good and precise for side to side movements but is extremely weak on the forward and back, micro correction is almost non-existent considering that i primarily use the finger-tip grip. with this grip, not only that you have to constantly re-grip or reposition your hand you also have to lock on to the target precisely without any corrections. the finger-tip grip allows me to micro adjust my aim when i go past the target by a little bit.
I hold my mouse differently. I'd call it an inverted claw, because it's the side of my hand touching the desk and my fingers are doing most of the movement.
imo it has to do less with the grip and more so where the sensor is being placed for them. the way they grip the mouse forces the sensor to be lower/closer to wrist which in theory it makes you more precise for headshots.
Its 'better' because the grip allows them to move the mouse faster since ur litetally hovering ur arm above the table and it doesnt sacrifice your accuracy
honestly I think I pull my fingers back when I'm spam clicking. but nowhere near a claw. My explanation for why I do this is to stress my hand out and be faster and more in control. Hard to explain though the small movements are inexplicable in words tbh.
Part2 also when i used this grip my preaims felt like more vertically sharp with precision bonus in ever so slight adjustments, it was more consistsnt to move lets say, exactly 1 millimeter on a angle hold versus overflicking it with more speed
I hope you guys see this - I'd love to see this series tackle the concept of aiming with your wrist vs with your arm! I myself am a casual gamer and the concept of mouse grip didn't occur to me until this video (it did occur to me that it's kinda weird how my pinky, ring finger, and thumb were touching/sliding on the mousepad and I became conscious on wether or not I should lift those fingers up or implement the resistance/friction on my aiming/grip style - the former is obviously better). On the other hand, I soon realized as I'm playing Valorant that how I aim with my hand matters - wrist (high-sens, how initially aimed with a default sens of 1) or arm (low-sense, how I aim now with a sense of 0.5). Love the series!! Keep it up!!

that you wrist hurts is because you are not used to it

Make a video about tilting the keyboard

He’s not the only pro player with a claw grip for his mouse, Achieved from TSMs rainbow six team also has a claw hold for his mouse.

THE STORY BEHIND TWISSTZZ MOUSE GRIP
"he picked up his mouse and bam!?"
Bro this vid is insanelly high quality
14:47 So that's how Beaulo does it, a quick spin to get the aim flowing
I tried it and the mouse hit the wall
I can't believe I watched a 16 minute video about how a cs:go player holds his mouse.
Twistzz is a weirdo when holdin a mouse
Swag: am I a joke to you
cracked is a fucking cracked series ngl
I already know. His my favorite player. When he was first recruiter for Liquid he was forced to use razer mice and that’s the grip that fit him for the death adder
I really love this series but am feeling some FG nostalgia after binging a bunch of earlier tekken player videos... please make more.
Thescore has been making some crazy good videos recently holy moly
Tried his grip and i can actually move my mouse faster and wider. But its uncomfortable and i unconsciously went back to my grip after a while
wait wtf,
for me, its actually quite comfortable and with the whole weight of my hand, the mouse stops immediately.
its good and precise for side to side movements but is extremely weak on the forward and back, micro correction is almost non-existent considering that i primarily use the finger-tip grip.
with this grip, not only that you have to constantly re-grip or reposition your hand you also have to lock on to the target precisely without any corrections. the finger-tip grip allows me to micro adjust my aim when i go past the target by a little bit.
Its so weird seeing Babyaby standing next to Rascal and being with all of the season 2 Shock guys.
I hold my mouse differently. I'd call it an inverted claw, because it's the side of my hand touching the desk and my fingers are doing most of the movement.
"Maple sirup is just another form of liquid"😂
The Deathadder is the grand daddy of all gaming mice. Been using it for over 15 years haha... it’s not that big. But what an interesting story.
imo it has to do less with the grip and more so where the sensor is being placed for them. the way they grip the mouse forces the sensor to be lower/closer to wrist which in theory it makes you more precise for headshots.
Its 'better' because the grip allows them to move the mouse faster since ur litetally hovering ur arm above the table and it doesnt sacrifice your accuracy
i could watch a ten hour edit of Dimitri saying "KEKW"
dude is 22 and has been playing on tier 1 teams for five years, nutcase
honestly I think I pull my fingers back when I'm spam clicking. but nowhere near a claw. My explanation for why I do this is to stress my hand out and be faster and more in control. Hard to explain though the small movements are inexplicable in words tbh.
This reminds me how the R6 pro “achieved”holds his mouse
Commenting before we watch the video now are we
he just doesnt want to accidentally jump with the scroll wheel
This is actually my grip when browsing.
14:45 that man making a 360 with his mouse in middle of a round xD
4:10 Dude has monogatari novels in his shelf
Such a good taste
Now THAT is a good eye. Nice catch, viewer of culture o7
we need a theScore esports VLOGGGGG!
Achieved, TSM, does that as well, kinda
The wrist technique alligns the wrist with the arm better and unifies their movements a bit
WAS THAT A FCKN SABER MOUSEPAD????? ARTORIA????
I... maybe... >.
And in 2022, TSM won the six invitational. And achieved was the MVP
now i need a story behind Twistzz's HAIR 😤😼
EliGE saying Twistzz was better mechanically than S1mple is just hilarious to me.
His aim is better than s0mple, he can play any FPS games with this aim while s0mple sux at any other FPS games.
I use this exact grip and I didnt even know who this guy was before now
Achieved.TSM R6 has the same grip
Achieved on TSM's R6 team has the same exact grip
Guess his fingers are in a bit of a TWIST
No
The editor has a nice manga collection
Thanks :D I'm pretty proud of it myself.
I love Dmitri. Only watch this channel because of Dmitri. I don't even play CS GO or any PC games
5:06 that mouse pad tho 😳
5:18 man of culture
His grip is good for consistency because there is only one anchor point.
Now we need a cracked video about keyboard positioning

Watch rambo's channel (ron rambo kim) he has many videos about theory of FPS gaming
its kinda normal for people who moved from big mice to small mice. Ik no one asked but I naturally adapted this position after switching
so based on this episode the more carpal tunnel inducing your grip is the better you are at aiming
that short uzi clip made me tear up man :(((
And here i thought the Deathadder was kinda small
His hands are just built different
