| What exactly do you mean by coming off of the invert? I have tried quite a few of these and I found that if you throw the tantrum a little harder than a normal tantrum and pass the handle right off the wake, it makes it a lot easier. I was coming up short on the rotation and the spin and those two things corrected it for me. Throw it a little harder than normal and pass the handle VERY early, it almost unwraps you once you get the handle. I guess I don't know if I understand your question, hope this helps. |

| I've heard that you have to keep the handle in really tight to your lead hip and when you pop go immediately for the pass and then just keep looking over your rear shoulder and it kinda unwinds itself. Off the double up might help at first to give you plenty of time. |

| i have plenty of time off the wake. i am saying that for the landing, im still kinda off axis meaning that i have not come parrellel to the water. still dont know if that makes sense, but maybe ill get someone to take some pictures next time |

| To me it sounds like you need to make the handle pass earlier, and although I;ve never landed one, im gettin pretty close and that always seems to be my problem too. |
