Three quick aim practice drills
All three use the same 30-target board above. Only your goal changes.
1. Clean run
Hit all 30 targets without a single missed click. Go as slowly as you need to. This drill wakes up your control and sets the tone for the session. If you miss, start the run again.
2. Speed run
Now go for your fastest average. Accept a few misses, but check the accuracy figure on the result screen. If it falls below 85 percent you are rushing, and the missed clicks are costing you more time than they save.
3. Tight window
Make the browser window narrow, about half your screen, and do a run. Targets now appear close together, so every movement is a small correction. This is the kind of adjustment you make most often in a real game, when the crosshair is already near the target.
Run each drill once or twice. The whole warm-up takes under five minutes.
What to focus on while you practice
Eyes first. Find the next target with your eyes before your hand moves. The pointer follows where you look.
One smooth movement. Try to arrive on the target in a single motion, not a fast lunge followed by a correction. If you keep overshooting, your sensitivity may be too high.
Click on arrival. Pressing the button a moment before the pointer reaches the target is the most common cause of misses.
Loose grip. A tight hand is a slow hand. Hold the mouse firmly enough to control it and no more.
Practice with a purpose
Random clicking for ten minutes does little. Give each run one goal: accuracy, speed or small corrections. Then look at the result and decide what the next run is for.
Your recent runs are listed in the Your scores panel, so you can see whether today’s warm-up is ahead of or behind your usual level. On a slow day, do an extra clean run before you queue.
