Thanks guys. I think I'll probably go with the high rise type. Seems like that might help with yanking the PCI too far in any one direction. I'll probably still be horrible but it's worth a shot.
I’ve got a couple different kinds and I can tell you it’s more on feel each time. I rotate between a few different ones (Galaxy, cqc, and Omni) the high rise ones are nice but they are ultra sensitive, they help get to corners but the pci movement is very fast and you can over push the pci from where you want very easily. If your looking at getting one for the first time to try I would recommend the cqc, it’s a mid rise so it will give you some of the feel of a high rise with not as drastic movement.
Also the Galaxy is a great starter pack because you get a high rise and a low rise in the pack
Awesome man, thanks for the advice!

I have used the purple ones for three seasons and I absolutely love them. In fact I play all my games with them.
-
Just got some high rises. They are a must for hitting and also for pinpoint. If you buy stubs and don’t spend 15 on some high rise KFs…..
-
I really liked these hexagon-shaped ones I had. I think they were Call of Duty: Black Ops special editions or something but man, I frickin' loved those things. When they finally wore out and the grip came off the base, I even tried gluing it back on -- but of course that only extended their life by so much. I haven't seen them on Amazon or at my GameStop in a long time though.
These are the ones I have now. They're similar to the hexagon ones I had in texture and feel but obviously, they're just circular. I recommend them but I've never liked the high-rise ones, for whatever it's worth. I find that since these are concave, I can be much more precise with my PCI. I don't play FPS games (although I main Huntress on Dead By Daylight), so I use these almost strictly for The Show.

I use a high purple galaxy and a resistance band on the left stick only. Works pretty well for me.
-
Don't forget the precision rings the grips are good for grip but pci placement specifically slamming your pci will get reduced w the rings
-
The 3 types I’d recommend looking at are the Purple galaxy’s, inferno’s and the green cqc’s. But since you’ve never used a pair before.. maybe go with the purple galaxy’s because you get a short and a tall stick. Just don’t give up on using kontrol freeks! Yes, they will feel goofy for a little while BUT once you get used to them you won’t ever wanna take them off.

Resistance band???
-
I only use one for hitting, I struggled with control ironically pitching
-
I didn’t like the high ones tbh. They kept flying off.
I bought the low top green ones and they’re fantastic.
It won’t stop your trigger movements being too much. That’s just practice. Less is more as they say.
-
High rise ain’t for me.
-
The high rises are too high for me on the DS5. I have a low rise galaxy of left thumbstick and low rise CQC sig on right one. Reason for difference between the two is durability.
PP pitching really takes its toll on my thumbsticks. More so than when I used analog
-
I literally just bought the inferno last week. Took a few games to get used to but I do feel i have better control. I used the advice of others and just use it on the left thumb only.

If you can get used to it, not a bad idea on the right stick too. Preserve the life of the thumbstick of your controller. I’d rather pay 15-20 bucks each time my KF is worn out than a new controller

That’s a good call. Didn’t think of it that way. I appreciate you experts in here. Learn quite a bit from you guys. Cheers!

No worries bud! I quickly learned they’re much more than just a comfort thing. They literally extend your controllers life

Not gronk spiking mine have been the best method to controller longevity lol

I used to go through tons of kontrol freaks when I was on the PS4 but when I switched to Xbox Series X, I actually found the controller to be perfect as is and have had great success without the need for any Kontrol freaks.
