Default Xbox controller and right thumb placement.

I've been having this dilemma for a couple weeks now. Now normally I aim using the tip of my thumb, but due to my hand being on the right side I am only using the right side of the thumb stick, causing my thumb to slide to the right a little too far messing up my aim. My question is, what is the normal "thumb positioning," as in what part of my thumb should I be using to aim? I've tried using the center pad but it feels weird. :S

that makes no sense. your handing being the right side? you have a right arm.

you place your right thumb on the right thumb stick and getter better with aiming.

short answer.

Use the pad of your thumb for your right hand, and the pad or the tip of your thumb for your left hand....

I go with the center of it.
If what you use messes up your aim; then you're doing it wrong.

I don't think there is a "right" way. You just have to find your preferred placement!
