Name watch: 11 rows carry a note where guides call a spot differently — both names kept.

Practice

Start with CT / Boost Smoke (from Banana) — reveal mode hides the aim until you try.

Throw-method legend

LMB
Full throw — the longest, highest arc.
RMB
Underhand lob — short and low.
L+R
Medium throw — 50% strength, guaranteed since Valve’s 17 Feb 2024 update.
JUMP
Jumpthrow — jump and release together. One-key binds stopped 19 Aug 2024; Valve made it more consistent 18 May 2026.
RUN · W
Moving throw — the step adds distance; start from the same spot each time.
SHIFT · CTRL
Walk or crouch — a slower, lower release.
