Thank you very much for this video, for the last 5 seasons i keep looking for answers online and found nothing, from questions like what to focus when targeting, the crosshair the target the gun, the movement so on and so forth. Thank you for all your videos with helpful tips! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This video honestly helped a lot! I have been going into Arena and Firing range practicing this exercise for about 20 minutes as a warm up after, Kovaks aim training as well. Noticing a huge difference in play style! It really felt like I was hitting more consistent shots in fights! Just keep practicing Chooms!
@@sechmachine that is the part to really practice. Your eyes over time will catch it and it becomes visually clearer. It takes time. Like practicing looking for Waldo. Your eyes get better at it in due time.
@@javianbrown8627 The game is a lower frame rate so it’s basically slower on console. Personally I don’t know how people get affected by the blur tho it doesn’t affect me or at least not that much.
This is exactly the kind of video I've been looking for and wondering why I can't focus or concentrate hard enough. Switching my attention back and forth and immediately trying this in-game had immediate results, albeit feeling like my mind is a bit more drained now. Going to practice this for the foreseeable future - thank you!
Great video Daz and thanks for bringing this up! Hand eye coordination is key in fps games. I play competitive badminton where the shuttle moves at 200+mph. I can confirm that the hand eye coordination developed in fast sports directly translates to better aim in game. :)
Spot on (no pun intended)! I observed the same thing actually, that in some conditions, my hand eye coordination was way better and that I had to actively force myself to move my eyes to look were I wanted to aim on the screen, instead of just waiting for it appear in my aim sight because of my hand/ arm movement. I can explain it biologically because of the involved area of the eye (the fovea) is the one involved in recognition of faces and scriptures and is much more precise (more receptors and more Neurons wired to these) than final periphery, but it was hard for me to get to teach myself to use this to my advantage, it's hard to do consciously because you have the habit of "3d movement" so instead of when your image on screen is fixed like in Windows, your brain expects your target to be moved by your arm into your central sight. If you do it actively you earn some precious tenth of seconds of massive precision. I guess that "focusing" orthoptic exercices might help if you find these on the Internet. But THIS is a very good start.
The music is nice and ambient in the background. Really helps to tune in to what you are saying, also nice and clear way of speaking. Definitely will be back
My dude, you are the man! Your sens, aim and apex tips are just so solid and well explained all the way around. I really appreciate what you do and how much time and effort you spend on this helpful information!
@@anthonychisolm272 picture it as if you were gonna throw a ball to someone. You wouldn't stare at the ball to throw it at them you would look at your target
Great video. A thing that helped me improve instantly was just looking at aiming as simply the change in perspective that all I am doing is moving the screen so the target is in the center. Very different feel that I think makes it easier to maintain a focus but also peripherally still process more information.
@Dazs this is a great video because i notice that a lot of the time when i get into high pressure fights i tend to focus on all the surrounds and the crosshair disappears. At that moment i may over come short of slightly overshoot. That make sense to work on the eyes focus so my crosshair wont disappear when i get into the action.
Thanks for the tennis analogy! It's very relatable for me. What's interesting is, I'm really good at tennis (HS Varsity tennis player), yet I can't do more than 100 damage with guns in apex. Then again, I've been playing tennis for many, many years, but only played apex for about 2~3 months.
Hey man, love your videos. I was wondering if you can clarify a bit when to focus on each individual aspect (crosshair, enemy, environment, etc). Should you always be focusing on your crosshair and then once you see your target just focus on the target? A bit confused on that. Thanks!
Hitting the nail on the head when you said when moving between two targets your mind basically cant process whats happening and it causes you to lose focus on your crosshair. I actually had a mod menu on bo2 that allowed me to slow down time while shooting bots. It was an awesome mod that let me play in slow motion and see in slow motion. Its so much easier to play in slow motion because you can process everything that is happening. The mod menu also let me speed up the game. As you can imagine, i could barely even keep up with my tracking, but as soon as i put it back to normal speed i felt like i was in slow motion because i got use to the fast pace speed. I just feel like processing what you are seeing makes the game way more easier.
Damn, where was this guide when i first started out, i just played the game for 2000 hours and my eyes trained themselves, it was only until recently that i can finaly use wingman in the ways Dazs described in the video
I would be down, but the issue I see is that you can stare in one spot but your eyes are also looking almost in two places at once. Does that make sense? Ever stare at something but can still capture everything at the corner of your eye?
@@Dazs u mean peripheral vision yea, but it still would be interesting to see imo. i mean it could be "useless" but maybe our eyes track more subconsciously than we might think
I've seen an eye tracker with a noob (well, the average enthusiast) and a pro using it. The major difference was the pro constantly keeping his eyes on the crosshair but moving it around to snap onto locations with potential targets (and like Dazs indicated, taking advantage of peripheral vision) while the normal guy kept looking around while keeping his crosshair just lying around in the middle of nowhere and taking too long to snap to enemies to shoot. The test was conducted in COD IIRC.
I know I just got "better" at the game in general, but when I got glasses I went from gold 1 to plat 1🤣. So training your eyes is pretty important I think 😉.
Ngl, I saw a similar video (a little different) for overwatch a few years ago, and it really helped me get noticeably better more than all the time I spent aim training.
Full of info. Not many exercises. Hard to remember. But well packed. No need for a part 2, you got the info stored in on this video. Nice. I'm controller. But I'll give it a shot.
Honestly a really cool video, never considered the importance of your ability to focus your eyes on a target to quickly focus on something in the surrounding area faster
Love your videos! I was just looking up this type of video earlier this morning and then you uploaded this! Love to see it lol. Random question, what is the electric handwarmer that you use? I've seen it in some of your previous videos and have been meaning to ask.
Before you play Apex Legends, just boot up your firing range, get those dummies out and try and survive without healing as much as possible. This means you kill one batch of enemies, you don't heal. You go on to kill next batch, then next batch and so on. Eventually the dummies will kill you, and when they do thats your PR. Next day when you play you have to beat this PR. This may sound silly, but its really hard to survive without healing. It also kind of gives you that feeling of pressure when you play normal BR. It worked wonders for me, you should try it out too.
Another video on your journey to improve your aim in fps games!
Walltennis. You mean Squash.

Hi dazs, does auto sprint make strafing slower? And auto sprint off make strafing slower.. this has come to my mind yesterday..
this came at a perfect time as i yesterday noticed that i was getting tunnel visioned when pushing targets. thanks a lot!
yessir
This guy is nuts. He just streamed the whole week at impossible hours and just keeps uploading amazing videos 💪
I try! :)
@@Dazs ALGS commentary was top notch as well btw!
@@Dazs nuts
i love this video

Keep up the hard work!
Says look at the crosshair and the crosshair isn't visible anymore.
True. I even used crosshair overlay and it always seems to "disappear" when engaging
@@sechmachine that is the part to really practice. Your eyes over time will catch it and it becomes visually clearer. It takes time. Like practicing looking for Waldo. Your eyes get better at it in due time.
arena glitch mate..
@@Dazs That issue only applies for me when I'm on PC. On the console it's way easier to see (it's even noticeable in videos) and I don't know why
@@javianbrown8627 The game is a lower frame rate so it’s basically slower on console. Personally I don’t know how people get affected by the blur tho it doesn’t affect me or at least not that much.
I appreciate every single aim video you make, helps and motivates me
Keep up the work man!
5:12 is when i truly began to understand what he was saying. the hand/object analogy was extremely effective teaching

Switching my attention back and forth and immediately trying this in-game had immediate results, albeit feeling like my mind is a bit more drained now.

I don't understand, you have to focus on the crosshairs.
4:08 yooo, I can literally feel that. That's sick af
Great video Daz and thanks for bringing this up! Hand eye coordination is key in fps games.
I play competitive badminton where the shuttle moves at 200+mph. I can confirm that the hand eye coordination developed in fast sports directly translates to better aim in game. :)
Well I'm never gonna be good then, back to hacking in games.
i'm confused looking at the cross and everything around.
The game is called 'squash'.
Wow that focusing on hand and object is reaaly interesting,never thought about that
Appreciate all your vids and how u spend your time to do these
Really love doing my best to help out!
sus

This is so much better than most aim training guides. I really like how you gave us examples so we aren’t lost anywhere.
My dude, you are the man! Your sens, aim and apex tips are just so solid and well explained all the way around. I really appreciate what you do and how much time and effort you spend on this helpful information!
Dude. Wtf, a get better tutorial that isn't just "Play ranked!" 😭 God bless your kids
Glad you enjoyed the video man!
Ranked doesn’t improve aim, it helps with camping effectively tho
@@king-qi2ks true
I am training both my aiming and English skills XD
Thank you for making videos!
Best tip I've heard in a long time and not a very well known one as well. Great content
Omg the CHRONO trigger music you have no idea how much I appreciate that you know what that game is
Ok now I'm subbing literally I just searched up how to use ur eye's for gaming like 2 hour's ago and now I just see this
That is epic!
Quick question when I fight a enemy I keep my eyes focus on the Target right ?
@@anthonychisolm272 picture it as if you were gonna throw a ball to someone. You wouldn't stare at the ball to throw it at them you would look at your target
This was amazing advice! 👍🏾You explained it very eloquently and I'll feel more confident next time I pick up a controller. Many, many THANKS!!! 😁

Very different feel that I think makes it easier to maintain a focus but also peripherally still process more information.
This is really important because when I watch my recordings I'm too foced on one are I lose the general big awareness and miss enemies
I would play football to improve my eyes but I don't have 21 friends guess that's why I'm a mirage main
The feels
Use wall
aahahahahahahaa
Main rampart
Build wall in front of the goal
Repeat

I love this video❤. I have nothing more to say. Its just that perfectly done.
Dude I just found your channel and this content is a life saver
Oh my God that chrono cover on piano was giving me chills. Beautiful choice.
Even if I won't ever use this stuff (though I should) still a very cool video. Explains everything well, and concise too. Good shit Dazs!
Masterpiece
Dazs coming through with yet another very important video and with some Chrono Trigger music?! lets go
Thanks for the tennis analogy! It's very relatable for me.

Hey- Thanks for sharing your wisdom with the rest of us. I really appreciate this video.
Holy shit dude this is an amazing video. I've never heard anyone break down this concept like this before 😁 amazing work
I love how you make unique content
had to save this video it not only helps me with having a huge jump on my enemies but my centering is always up and stop me from overdrag!
great guide. i love the CT music. nice n relaxing!
@Dale Macarena Chrono Trigger
mindblowing video, were you talking about Squash?
yeah, looking it up, that sounds like it! :)
Thanks, this's an amazing advice!
Thanks man your videos really helped me to improve my gameplay
Really glad to hear it helps :D
Thanks for the great advice. I'll try out these tips.
I played over 2.5k hours and I feel like I need to make so adjustments to what I've learned
Same kinda
i really like he background music dazs picks in his videos, really give his videos a different feeling
Awesome vid thanks 👊
The look at your hand and the object behind you was actually helpful
Amazing
I needed that so much
Glad to help! :)
Love your videos man you’ve helped me improve tremendously on mouse and keyboard
Keep up the work man! Love the quality you put in these videos!

How uou
I liked instantly when I heard the Chrono Trigger music. Currently watching vid haha.
Thanks for the vids Daz, they've been really helpful to help me improve
this video is so relaxing. the music and the voice are a perfect match. good content but I might use it for a good night of sleep as well.
I believe it's called Handball. Amazing Video Thank You!!!!
Thank you Dazs! MVP
Thanks

IKR
it's really improve my aim alot after a few week , thank you so much
Finally someone's talking about this. Thanks!!!
this is a great excersise, thanks!
Damn, where was this guide when i first started out, i just played the game for 2000 hours and my eyes trained themselves, it was only until recently that i can finaly use wingman in the ways Dazs described in the video
Thank you! I really enjoy your video s, and how well you explain them. Thank you for your time.
my eyes : it's apex
my ears : it's crono trigger
and im literally getting flashbacks xD
Thanks for the tipps
an eyetracker in a actual match would be cool so we can see where u are looking
I would be down, but the issue I see is that you can stare in one spot but your eyes are also looking almost in two places at once. Does that make sense? Ever stare at something but can still capture everything at the corner of your eye?

when u are turning, think what angel u can going to face. And already map out what happens after the turn. that helped me a lot!!
chrono trigger nostalgia
Bro, because of you i changed my mouse and got the Logitech g pro superlight. Best decision I've made in terms of gaming. Big ups bro!
Beautiful
Can attest to this. Goalkeepers focus on this aspect extremely on 3v1s or 2v1s free kick/penalties
I just love how you always come up with a video about things no one has ever talked about. Thanks for existing king!
You’re uploading good content this is soo helpful
Glad to help :)
thanks for the vid! Also replying to the "tennis-ball wall" comparison, The sport is Squash :)
completely unrelated to the video but i loved how you used chrono trigger music in the background
this video really helped me out i'm so glad i found this video you deserve a sub !
Thank you bro, good to have you here!
So helpful....thank you
Loving the Chrono Trigger vibes
Wall hall is the tennis game you were looking for 😁👍🏻
Good vid and thx for this

6:35 -- You're thinking of racquetball
Got a Rinnegan after this video thank you boutta push Skulltown into oblivion.
very nice!
This was enlightening.
I just found this video and had to subscribe, I really wanna get better at apex legends and I will definitely try all your tutorials.
We need a Team/Solo deatmatch mode like in Valorant(U get random agents and cant use abilities) will be veryyyyyyyyy helpful
Full of info. Not many exercises. Hard to remember. But well packed. No need for a part 2, you got the info stored in on this video. Nice. I'm controller. But I'll give it a shot.
Nice vid man. Gg, God bless✝️❤️
ty know im gonna be able to reach my dream
Honestly a really cool video, never considered the importance of your ability to focus your eyes on a target to quickly focus on something in the surrounding area faster
Always hard focused on the target and never on my crosshair for a while now. gotta try this when I get home
I no this video is old but this is a realll gem right here please so some updated version vid and if you already have help me find it
My English is not very good, but you explain it very understandable. Thank you.
king energy
Ayo great vid.
The playing tennis by urself sport is called Squash ..if im right
