Blade not sharpening even on T4

It never used to happen but has just started happening with the last two blades I have sharpened. About a stone width from the handle on both sides I seem to be getting an uneven grind. I am taking more off the blade in that one spot than the rest of the blade. It’s almost as if it’s when I start my grind on each side I am putting too much pressure on that one spot. Thoughts please.

    To prevent that, you can round of the edges of the stone with the SVP-650 Stonegrader. The edges are quite aggressive. Another tip is to maintain the blade really flat on the surface, a slightly higher or lower position of the handle when moving sideways results in touching the stone more on either the sides. It is important to maintain the blade really flat on the surface.
    If you are not used to the movement a lighter pressure in the beginning helps too. 
    I hope I could help you.
