Yes, 100%. That's exactly it. I find it easier. I like being able to keep the grips tight and lift them up while I do the leg work, as opposed to the typical berimbolo where I feel like I almost have to "catch up" to them as I'm finishing the movement. I need to just do the normal berimbolo more. My preference for going to the twister hook is 100% due to the fact that I've drilled it more, and I used to do the ninja roll/rolling back take before the berimbolo got big, So I was used to having my same side leg hooked through (my right leg to their right leg, my left to their left). When I try the rolling back take using the opposite leg, I also have some more difficulty with that.
If you're having a hard time picturing the rolling back take using the opposite leg, here you go:
how are your grips?
Because when i go for the inverted x and change my grip from the pant leg to the hip I just get my leg/hooks kicked off and then I don't really know what to do..
Any tips..
