If you're serious about improving your game, one decision you'll make more often than any drill or tactic is choosing the right padel racket. I’ve tested dozens of frames across brands and levels, and I still turn to specialist shops—like Bandeja Shop on the French Riviera—when I want expert...

I want to walk you through the exact 90-second comms script that pro teams use to win clutch rounds in 5v5 shooters. I've been on scrim rosters, sat in coach rooms, and tested these scripts live — and what separates good teams from great ones isn't raw aim alone, it's the ability to communicate...

I spent the last few weeks tearing through Aim Lab, Valorant (on cloud streaming), and native Steam Deck-compatible shooters trying to answer a question I keep getting from readers: can the Steam Deck's controller remap actually reduce input lag and improve aim? The short answer is yes — when you...

I’m going to cut to the chase: tiny, deliberate tweaks to how you hold your mouse can fix a huge chunk of the crosshair placement problems I see from claw and fingertip players. Over the years I’ve coached teammates, tested mice, and drilled aim until my fingers bled (metaphorically). The...

I’ve spent years swapping between every kind of controller I could get my hands on — stock Xbox pads, custom Scuf controllers, modded PlayStation sticks, and boutique builds like the Xbox Elite and Razer Wolverine. As someone who tests gear, runs aim drills, and plays at a competitive level, I...

I’ve spent more nights than I care to admit juggling framerate, GPU temps, and a messy overlay that looked great on paper but tanked my game. If you’re on a tight PC budget and you want a pro-level streaming overlay that doesn’t cost you frames, I’ve got a workflow that’s practical,...

I spent years chasing the puzzle of how to make aim training actually matter in live matches. Like you, I’ve tried the classics — grind sessions in Kovaak’s, switch to Aim Lab for a week, then wonder why my 1v1 fights still felt off when the pressure was real. Over time I learned that...
