What is your experience transferring from high-sense style to a more turnbind oriented one?

I used to surf at 1800 dpi with 4 sens ingame and raw_imput 1. I noticed it was hard to consistently do "smoother" t5/t6 maps which made me take a break for a while.

After this break I decided it was enough so i changed to 800 dpi 2 sens ingame.
Usually after a break it would take one or two weeks to get back to about the same level as before and with the new sens i honestly didn't notice if I took longer or not.

As for learning turnbinds it took some adjusting and getting used to, after maybe a month I felt like I could do the more movement heavy maps comfortably again (these are my favourites) and now more than a year later I'm happy I learned to use them since I've improved so much more since.

It kinda depends on your mousespace too imo, but if you have more than say 70cm ish of mousepad space I'd say just jump right into it bucko. I remember the one time I went from a small mousepad to a deskpad and I immediately just lowered my 1800 dpi moderately high sense down to 400@2 and it felt like I was moving my hand through water for a couple days. I think immediately lowering it to around the 400@2 range is gonna give you the quickest results in terms of a smoother surfing style, especially given 400@2 is a good place to be for then going lower or higher afterwards as you see fit.

Getting used to turnbinds is more or less just down to practice though. Try to only use them for spins and such to start off with and then slowly apply it to more diverse turns like 270 degree turns and whatnot. There are a lot more possibilities with css, if you've already made the switch, since on that game you're able to give the speed of the turnbind an exact value. If you're on csgo still I'd recommend getting used to holding the "walk" key (the key bound to shift by default that makes you go forward slower, not crouch) since holding down that key along with your turnbind makes it turn about 1/3 slower. Personally I've only got a key for the turnbind with the walk key at the same time (a bind that holds down both), as I never liked fast turnbinds, but that's obviously a preference thing for the most part. Also definitely try to get used to turning at the same time as you're holding down the turnbind, since very rarely the turnbind in itself is gonna be enough or just right for the turn. Along with that, though later down the line, you can look into trying to make the transition from holding the turnbind to only turning with the mouse look more seemless in your run. It both makes you look more composed and smooth, but also helps you carry more speed.

I went from playing from 1600 4 all the way down to 400 0.9 (which I don't recommend). The general rule of surf dpi is that you should go as low as your are comfortable with. So if right now you are comfortable with 400 4 than just stick with 400 4 for now. It takes time to lower your dpi and don't rush it or push yourself too much. It takes time to get used to a new dpi. So even if you are comfortable with your new dpi you will be worse with it at the start!

In general most surfers are around the 400 2 dpi. And to be honest I don't really recommend going lower than that for csgo since you can't change yawspeeds in csgo.

Finally I recommend playing some non spinny easy maps first to get used to ya new dpi before you force yourself to use turnbinds with it.

That should do for now, good luck :)
