Spider Flick: a Valorant flick reset drill
Spider Flick is a Valorant flick reset drill: a centre target alternates with one placed 6 to 45° to either side, for 60 seconds. Half of your kills are the return to centre, which is the part most flick practice skips. Accuracy multiplies the score, so misses cost more than slow shots.

Why train the flick back to centre?
Because that is what happens after the kill in a real round. You are holding an angle, someone appears wide, you take the shot, and the next enemy comes from the place you were holding before. Spider Flick makes that return a scored shot, every second target.
What goes wrong on the return?
Players treat it as a rest. The centre target never moves, so it should be the easiest shot in the drill, yet the hand drifts back loosely and clicks early. If your outer flicks land and your centre shots miss, you have found the leak.
Keep the wrist relaxed but treat the return as its own flick, with a clear stop on the target.
How should you read the outer target?
Look before you move. The outer target can sit up to 45° left or right and 18° above or below centre, so the same-looking flick can be short and high or long and flat. Let your eyes land on it first, then send the hand. At Standard the targets have a 0.30 m radius, smaller than the ones in Grid Flick, so sloppy arrivals show.
Where does it fit in a session?
Second, after Grid Flick, when your hand is warm. It suits a player whose problem is losing the angle after a first kill. The ranked run counts toward your flick rank at Standard difficulty.
