Weird, I rest the side of my palm on the mousepad (that small bone) which helps to move it around, I don't know what that counts as. Day9 mentioned this kind of grip which is when I started using it.

C+ ~5100
(also I don't think you'll be able to find a correlation. even if the grip mattered, it would be insignificant compared to all the other things that make your rank, such as dedication, experience, training partners...)

Holy shit. I never even thought about this before.

I just tried the "palm grip" and noticed how much more comfortable it is.

I've been holding my mouse the wrong way for years, haha.

Btw I just tryed claw grip and I felt that I can play way way faster with it :@!

Well i dont think mouse is really that important in sc.

You can see probably better results in shooting games where mouse is more important like cs, call of duty, unreal tournament etc.

I actually think that you should ask the type of mouse of each users if you want this study to be accurate.

I mean i'm using a logitech optical and it is really different than most of razer mouses.
