not really i land with my nose in the water alot i get the rotation down but land to far forward...does that make sense?

Probably what is happening is your arm is to high which pulls you off axis. This is kind of natural with a Tantrum because the tension in the line is trying to make your arm straight in line with your shoulder. You want your body to rotate about the center of gravity which is about at your waist. So if you have the handle up high your body is going to get pulled off axis and you will end up landing with a lot of weight forward. Does this sound like what is happening?

yeah i have alot of weight forward and when i throw the rope i get it everytime
but the initial rotation and trip doesnt feel right with my rope at my hip
