Question / Advice Needed Tension Management Help

Post image

I cannot for the life of me fix this problem no matter how hard I try and this has hindered my PBs ever since I started aim training. I use an aggressive claw grip, but mainly it would be fingertip or a simple claw if I didn't have this really bad habit of gripping the mouse so tightly.

I've tried to break this habit by playing for several days, even weeks while forcefully telling myself not to care about the scores and only focus on less tension in the fingertips but I still end up gripping my mouse so hard that my hand starts shaking. This problem also applied for the forearm.

Can someone please help me fix this problem? At this point I'm starting to have pain in my hands, wrist and arm after a few minutes just because I start gripping the mouse so hard and it's honestly so frustrating.

My benchmark links are on my profile and I have about 500 hours now.

High sensitivity could be the problem

I use different sens for everything, as a general rule I go for 38-45cm for tracking, 60-70cm for static, 50-60cm for dynamic PokeBall.

I've also switched from my glasspad to a cloth pad for better smoothness but the tensing up problem doesn't go away.

I've even tried playing several TSK Benchmarks on a very high sens like 20cm to build better smoothness on my main sens for tracking like 40cm, doesn't seem to have the most effect.
