This is why I think it's so useful to describe mouse sensitivity via inches-to-360. At 2000dpi/1.2 sensitivity I'm at like 9-10 inches. At 2400/.8, he's probably at like 12 inches for a full 360 (6" to do a 180, which is really NBD)
I have a "medium" sized gaming mouse pad, which means it's 50-60% bigger than a normal one. They make *giant* ones. All the pro players have sensitivities well below half mine, and sometimes they'll show a camera angle of their hands and yeah, "big" movements like turning around require their whole arm to move, and they aim with just the wrist. They get incredible precision this way though.
There is also an argument that once you get good, you are processing data at a higher level, you're taking all in the info in at once and you have much better "map control" - you know where people "are" or "should be" based on all the info you've taken in, so you don't NEED to swing 180 degrees as often - you generally know whether your back is safe.
There's also pure map knowledge at work. I had the opportunity to watch really good streamers on a brand new map in PUBG once, and their god-like powers were way diminished, and that's when I realized that once accustomed to a map, a really good pro player just knows where to look to find people. So when he snaps right to someone's head, it's because he knows where his mouse needs to go before he has even seen the person shooting at him. When he doesn't know a map, he has to acquire the target like the rest of us, which slows him down.
I really am never going to be great at these games. I'm old, I'm slow, I lack sort of the spark or creativity that good players have, but also, man, they put serious time in, and it pays off.
