One thing I want to make very clear early on in this community:
π Good PDR is not about strength.
π Itβs about mechanics, positioning, and control.
Most techs struggle early not because they βdonβt have it,β but because theyβre fighting the metal instead of working with it.
A few fundamentals to keep in mind as youβre learning or resetting your approach:
β’ Body position matters β If your stance is off, your push will be off. Your body should feel balanced and relaxed, not twisted or forced.
β’ Tool alignment matters β Push direction is just as important as push pressure. If youβre off-angle, the metal will tell on you.
β’ Less force, more intent β Precision beats power every single time. Heavy hands early create more work later.
β’ Consistency over speed β Smooth, repeatable movements will always outperform rushed corrections.
If you build proper mechanics now, everything else gets easier:
Cleaner pushes.
Better control.
Less fatigue.
Better results.
This community is about doing it right, not doing it fast.
