Wrapping up

I found my old handle with a wrap handle on it while cleaning out my garage the other day and took it out and played around with it the other day.

I tried a wrapped front heelside mobe and have a question. When i wrap up should the rope be wrapped around my hips or higher up around my chest area?

When i tried it i had it wrapped around pretty high on my chest and it wasnt a terrible attempt, i think ill have it pretty soon, but i was just wondering if it would help.

Thanks

I'm not too experienced with it, but from what I've seen most people seem to go around their waist.

I always used to try and get the handle in the small of my back. I think the important part is having decent leverage with the hand that isn't wrapped.

Just curious, do you ever get the handle wrapped around your hand? I used to do some wrapped OA spins and damn near every time I'd come around and have the handle folded over practically trapping my hand.

the hand on the wrap handle or the actual handle?

I havent had my hand trapped by anything yet

actual handle. The "V" of the handle would cross over the top of my hand somehow and pinch it in. Was definitely weird, and I think most times that i actually landed the trick that's how I would land.

Could have been a defect of the handle of course, but that was a long time ago so I don't even know what handle I'd have been using.
