A320 how to brake properly

Hello all,

I’m trying to improve my braking on A320/A321. Although I know the theory regarding reducing brake applications in order to save the brake and preventing from getting hot, I need your advice on this.

if I can keep A/brake low until taxi speed, this works fine. If during roll out I have to go on manual braking at high speed in order to decelerate properly I try to apply one progressive brake application but I often end up with the left brake significantly hotter than the right. For example left 380C and right 220C. I try to keep in mind this trying to apply stronger right pressure but this doesn’t seem to work. Can I ask some advices on this?

Also on taxi out/in I maybe struggle when there is upslope, maybe braking too much then ending applying some thrust or approaching the turn, braking to the correct speed but then as the aircraft accelerates I have to brake in the turn
