Sounds like you have it dialed in, one question is what rope/handle are you using? I suck when I use my friends 0-stretch rope, its one of those shoestring lines and always pops out of my hands on landings b/c it has absolutely no give, but I have no problem holding on to my minimal-stretch spectra line. And using a eva-grip handle helps a ton, it makes holding on and gripping a lot easier.

If you already have both these things, all I could recommend is not coming down too hard on your heel edge. Come down easy and don't sit too hard on the landing, thats when the line will tighten up and create a ton of tension, your hands probably can't hold it.

yeah, just loosen up a bit. Also, it may help as your landing to kind of crank in with your arm to get the slack out
