A foreman told me to stop swinging the load like a pendulum

I used to let the load drift a bit to line it up, saving time. He said I was putting too much stress on the boom. After a 30 ton beam nearly hit a wall at a job site in Charlotte, I started using taglines and it's way smoother now. Has anyone else had to unlearn a bad habit from an old timer?

Taglines are the way to go man. You can't beat physics with a 30 ton beam swinging around, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Shit happens fast with that kind of weight.
