stupid question

[ska]

so you guys are gonna hate me lol. i know i keep asking questions about clippers and stuff but here it goes.  i repentantly got some new andis 5 speeds for my birthday and they are really cool. i clipped a couple calves with them. but one thing i have learned is that the blade sits at a different angle then the ZR pulse 2's and the andis 2 speeds.  and i tend to make more gouges in the cattle and more nicks with the 5 speeds.  is there any suggestions on stopping this? and getting more comfortable with them without loosing the progress of me being good with the zr pulses? i hope this makes sense.  my main clippers are the ZR pulse 2s and prob the 5 speeds. i just tend to clip better with the pulse 2s because im used to them and i know how the blade sits.

any suggestions are welcome! thank you for all your help and putting up with me (lol) <beer>

You answered your own question right here. Use them more and focus on learning how the blade sits in your hand and on the animal. Just go slow and focus more on learning how the clipper works than the end product for now.

Practice. Practice. Practice. It's that simple.
Oh, and patience.

awesome! thank you! I'm also assuming that's how I would learn to get faster at clipping?
