Aimer 7s guide and advice in general

I was reading Aimer 7s guide and he recommended a sensitivity almost double what I used to use for overall aiming. I used it and set a bunch of new personal best records in Kovaaks but in game I whiff a lot more. Should I just adjust to the new sens in game or go back to my old sens? The only issue with my old sens is games like cod I struggle to turn around super quick.

get used to it, its a humbling process but it helps a ton. for me as an example, using valorant sense. I originally was playing at 1.75 sense with a DPI of 1600...Now i am playing at 0.75 sense, with a DPI of 400.

When i first started using the sense i currently have, my scores in kovaak were much better than before, but it legit took 1-2 months to not get destroyed in games, and even barely now is it starting to feel comfortable. But i am still getting used to it, it was a HUGE change for me as you can see.

Edit: got my sisters to use kovaak, and i tried to explain to her the same thing as you, because she is basically feeling the exact same. But she refuses to push through it, and goes back to her old sense looooool

I raised mine. I had it at 1.6 Source @ 400DPI and went to 2.4 Source at 400DPI. I wasnt sure if it was worth sticking with it so low for faster paced games like cod since I quit playing siege comp.

You can always train with a faster sens as "aim training" is about mouse control. In fact lots of people do that including me. You shouldn't restrict yourself to one sensitivity to every game as every game is different.

CSGO/Valorant are tact shooters which requires minimal vertical aiming and require crosshair placement so people tend to use lower sensitivities. While Quake/Diabotical are arena shooters so its fast paced so people tend to use faster sensitivities

Yea, different sens let you train different aspects. It's a tradeoff typically between movement capabilities vs mouse control. The lower you go, the better mouse control you get but the worse movement capabilities you have. And vice versa. So you just work on the opposite if you plan on using x sens.

Like say you play quake on low and mid sens to work on the movement. Or you try high sens (not too high like 5 billion dpi, but say center to edge 360-420 degrees) on high movement capability chars to learn good movement then tone it down to mid sens then to low sens. Only when you "mastered" x range, can you move on to the next.

As for aim trainers, they do help in some aspects as a tool. Much like training a particular course for working on an aspect of aim, doing a mid or high sens in a course might make it easier to work on an aspect of control or speed that you never thought off before. But you sure will feel it and improve from it.
