The two diagrams above demonstrate a typical shearing pattern.<\/p><\/div>\n

Six key points of good shearing<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Control of the sheep\u2014<\/strong>get right down over the sheep and \u201cbecome part of it.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Positive hand\u2014<\/strong>know exactly where the handpiece has to go; don\u2019t poke, be positive with all blows.<\/li>\n
  3. Good wrist\u2014<\/strong>must be flexible and supple to ensure comb points stay on the skin.<\/li>\n
  4. Return action\u2014<\/strong>must be fast, close to the sheep and taken no further back than the start of the next blow; wasted inches are wasted effort.<\/li>\n
  5. Left hand\u2014<\/strong>use it confidently to prepare the way for the handpiece.<\/li>\n
  6. Rhythm and timing\u2014<\/strong>develop a rhythm so the shearing of each section runs smoothly into the next.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
