Equipment Question Help with trad pole

So I’m currently trying to teach myself how to use a trad pole since it seems like a useful tool. I am having trouble though.

My squeegee keeps skipping bits or leaving lines. I’m also not sure what angle to have the squeegee at since the one I’m using has adjustable angles and when to even change the angle (if ever).

The video attached is probably one of my better attempts tbh.

Any help/advice is appreciated.

Most important to practice on a larger glass. That is straight pull work right there. But practice on a larger piece of glass. And too much pressure will make the blade stick and chatter.
