A trade show demo in Atlanta flipped my blade angle for good

Watched a guy at the Atlanta Barber Expo nail a zero fade with the clipper almost flat, and he said 'it's about pressure, not the angle.' Tried it on three heads since and got cleaner lines in half the passes, has anyone else adjusted their grip after seeing a live demo?

Notice how every trade has that one little secret that changes everything once someone shows you. Same thing happened to me with detailing cars back in the day, a guy showed me how much water pressure matters versus just spraying harder. It sounds simple but until you see it done right, you keep fighting your tools instead of working with them. That demo probably saved you hours of frustration, which is worth more than any fancy clipper.
