Shoutout to the rigger in Tulsa who told me to bump my swing brake up one notch

I was booming down on a rooftop HVAC job off Memorial Drive and fighting a sway every time I came off the throttle. Ray, our rigger, said just move the swing brake up one notch and stop babying the foot pedal. Two months later I still run it that way, cuts the sway in half and my loads come in way cleaner. What little seat tricks did somebody hand you that you still use every shift?
