Trad pole work

[Deleted member 2617]

well today I hade the day off and decided to practice on my pole wagtail skills and I wasn't very good at pole work so Thats why I got a wfp, anyway we don't have a double story house so I got my pole and my wagtail sat on the floor and I did the 1 window I think for 3 hours straight I'm very happy with the results and now I'm spewing because I should of done that sooner then get a wfp, just wondering how did you guys practice? When you first started

I practiced by cleaning customers houses

Straight pulls and detailing with cloth on pole then gradually fanning until i had it sorted ..that was with a 0° swiveloc

Then when i eventually got a wag it was easy straight away

I also started with the Unger 0 and then Wagtail. Anything above full arm stretch I used a short pole and then as I got more confident progressively used longer poles. If worst came to worst I would climb the damn ladder or pointer to sort it. Rarely these days do I need to take them off the roof rack...practice makes perfect.
