Noticed my chimney brush was wearing unevenly after a big job in Portland last month

I was on a 3-story house in the Pearl District and halfway through the second flue I realized my poly brush was only hitting on one side. The customer wanted me to check all four flues so I had to keep going but I knew the brush was shot. When I got home I took a closer look and the bristles on the left were almost gone while the right side looked fine. Turns out I was holding the rods at a slight angle without thinking about it. Anyone else ever catch themselves doing that and have to retrain their hands?

EXACT same thing happened to me last winter, drove me NUTS until I figured out my grip angle was off.

Used to think grip angle was just personal preference. Picked up a random driver last month and everything felt wrong. Slices all day long. Thought it was the club. Swapped back to mine after a round and realized my old grip was slightly turned. Made a huge difference. You're totally right about this.
