Thanks for the input guys, and now that I think about it, I guess that would be the fastest way to improve. I'll just have to endure the beastings until I can adapt I guess.
I have a question about swtiching from pad to stick. Sorry if this sounds dumb but for learning purposes should I use my stick all the time now (like during causuals with my friends) or should I only practice with it in training mode until it feels more natural?
I know this may just be about preference but I want to know how others went about it. Right now I have a bit of trouble with IAD and half circle motions and my overall reaction time is bit slower trying to control the stick but it's not too bad.
I use a sanwa jlf balltop and sanwa buttons btw.
