This is big
Another noob here (90+ days), having all the normal issues when starting. 'Also a fairly course lawn to mow. I was able to do atg in the first few days (one of very few things that came easily), but I think Hi_Bud is saying something pretty important here & it has become a goal for me. When I argued that heavier blades were better, I got strong correction (thank you to each one who did) that it was technique. I think getting BBS smooth without atg is another important thing to shoot for in technique. I'm not there yet, but that's definitely the target. Under chin & jawline, the grass grows at an angle, so south to north pass isn't actually ATG. I have to factor this in during 2nd pass. Like most, there are always sections that defy smoothness, but I want to learn to get them w/out ATG. Hi_Bud does us Noobs a serious favor here, but it may not be easy or quickly learned. I think our faces will thank us w/ less irritation and nicks if we learn it.
