This is how I visualize clippers. The separate orientation lines help me completely flip my stance/posture for clippers. Notice the axes and how they are independent of the stances. This visualization also helps me with clipper sets and completing moves ending with clipper.

I like the diagram, but it doesnt really help me much...Either way though, you did an excellent job on it, and did a good job on it

Yeah. After the feedback I've gotten I realize how dense it is. I will make future versions less confusing.

Agreed with too much stuff, but this is the same as how I visualise clippers, in terms of the direction my body is facing etc.

Was this diagram supposed to help people Getting Started? I still cannot figure it out. I mean, I think I know what you mean by it, but I cannot see it. It is a very well-drawn diagram though.

Yeah I think it's helpful for beginners to think about how their body is set up in relation to the bag.
If you don't get it that's fine. Even if you did understand, you might not need to think of it that way. I'm glad it's helped a few people though.
