As Stokealona said , lifting isn ' t really a bad thing . Some pros do it a lot because of the low sensitivity they play at . insert overused Flusha joke here The trick is learning when to recentre your mouse so as not to be caught off guard by an enemy . I play at 2400 and , while its a very average sens , I flick a lot due to playing either main or secondary AWP . If I ' m holding an angle where I will have to flick to the left , I will move my mouse further to the right of my mousepad in order to compensate . I do this movement when I set up so that there is no danger of being shot whilst my mouse is in the air . I do the exact opposite if I ' m flicking to the right , I ' ll move my mouse to the left more . Really it ' s all about good crosshair placement , good positioning and making sure you ' re prepared for what ' s about to happen .
