If I could do a blind 180 I'd try it also; even though I haven't tried it I would assume you have to pull the handle with both hands on the way down from your rotation and let go of your rear hand and pull your lead hand into the small of your back. I would think that if you pulled only with one hand you would be thrown off axis. Sorry I can't be of any help, I hope you land it! Let me know how it goes.

i land my wraped i know alot of people pass the handle early. I start like 15 feet out from the wake (short approaches make you pop up higher, with less rope tension) right when you get in the trough you load the line pretty hard (keeping a progressing edge) but instead of doing a regular back roll you want to monkey roll more so drive you back foot up the wake and put your head towards your waist instead of leaning back. Also push the handle past you left (or right) hip depending on you stance to get some slack in the rope, then when you are over the second wake or basically almost done with your rotation you will open up and make the commitment to blind. It should take much effort you should get pretty much pulled into it sorta like the last part of a pete rose (which is basically a switch roll to blind). I have a video of my roll to blind in the media center if you want to check it out it may help some.
Good luck Very Happy
