i just got mine consistant a couple weeks ago. im doin a heelside blind 360(i think). only thing is im comming in wrapped, so pretty much all i have to do is let go with the front hand. whenver i try to turn my body i get off axis and its not pretty, but if i just let go with that fonthand and let the boat do the work i had no problem getting the rotation even on shitty wakes.
the things i practiced up to it were a blind 180 just off the inside of the wake, and a heelside kinda halfcab rotating a full frontside 180 and bringing it back to landing normal. to me it really helped me get thee feel of both parts of the rotation.
maybe thatll help, prolly not but good luck. BTW any more lake anna competitions this summer?

ar230border, have you tried the ts 3 yet, once you can get the handle pass its easy to keep rotating.

I would always hold on the the handle, because when you let go ( im assuming you let go before the wake) you have nothing to start the rotation with, your only choice would be to throw it off of the wake (which is not a good idea)

keep the handle, pop off of the wake, then pull the handle into your hip to start the rotation.

Hope this helps, cya

I think the most important things to remember are, wait for your pop and keep looking over your shoulder, another thing I like to do is a later handle pass.

try and suck your knees up like if you were to do a grab and place the handle under your butt and above your board i found it easier to do that because i was more compact and quicker. just a thought hope it helps

passin the handle under your butt is harder than passin it around ur waist
