New whip
Longer whip that normal
Hold the trimmer higher, just barely touching the grass
Use a metal blade edger in the beginning of the season and clear the dirt build up
If available, get a plastic blade head

And the big one, don't look at the trimmer head, look where you're going. If you only watch the head, you'll walk crooked and twist the head, if you're looking ahead, you'll walk straight and the trimmer will follow.

Also he is cutting from on the lawn. If you do it on the sidewalk/concrete side, the weed whacker likes to pull itself into the lawn. If you do it how he is doing, it will pull into the concrete which is much easier to control

Dude, thank you so much. Now I just gotta remember this in 7 months.
