smaller strafes, change the way you do prestrafe, more strafes, you are essentially doing 5 humongus strafes which is pointless

i find my problem: i scroll too much

like when i do with space bar i get 20 airtime
maybe 24 but thats ok
but with scroll its barely 25
i spin it too much and now even with small scroll i do shit airtime
someone said its because of the muscle memory but idk how to fix that.

Airtime comes only from your keypresses of your strafeleft and straferight. Moving your mouse doesn't affect it at all.

Just try to release and move to 2nd strafe quicker and you're set.

The key to successful lj stats is to unpress the keys as fast as you can, this doesn't mean you should mash the keys and make 10 strafes (although that works, hence my best lj stats are with 10 and 11 strafes). What i'm saying is that you should just click the A and D keys, rather than holding it.
Another tip that i've received earlier in my lj days, that made TON of difference was - instead of holding D key on my first strafe (for right pre, and A key for left pre), i would press A, which seems not logical at all, but this makes your airtime like 11-13 at most, which is perfect. Good luckZ

http://prntscr.com/oc3kkn that was lucky airtime on first strafe + i have problem with 3-4th strafe for some reason, like i hold strafeleft less than strafe right

i try to press A after i jumped instead of D but it seems that i cant. Its goddamn auto for me(i mean that I adapted to hold D instead of pressing A)

reviving the topic. still have the same problem, even though almost year passed D:

try to change your prestrafe angle, try to be as straight as possible before you jump, still not losing your speed

yes it does make a big difference by not holding A with my first strafe+right pre, it keeps the first strafe with airtime lower than 17 for me, but the 2nd strafe airtime would be high, 23-25 or above, i tried to unpress A as fast as i could but it does not change much, dk how to fix that

like this, 2nd strafe with high airtime and low sync. maybe practicing more could could solve this, or maybe not :(

i think the problem might be that your ring finger is not as flexible/strong as your index finger, so when doing right pre, you tend to press D with your index longer than pressing A with your ring finger.

i used to have the same high-1st-strafe-airtime problem like you but now i fix that, and my 1st strafe with right pre has sub 17 airtime. what i can`t do is unpressing A after 2nd strafe as fast as i do with index finger after finishing 1 strafe, because my ring finger is like an idiot :(
