Hand to ski vs. ski to hand

What I wanted to ask was wether I should get my ski to my hand or I should get my hand to the ski. Cause when I do my safetys, I try to get my ski to my hand (well, I try to get my boots up that far that I can reach the ski) what kind of looks strange. So, my safetys look pretty weird. But when I try just to get my hand to the ski I miss the grab.
So, where´s my mistake?

Do a little of both to make a compramise for a clean safety grab.

Your problem is you're thinking about it wayy to much. Don't think, just do.

well at High North, i was working on my truck drivers and they gave me hints like pop your heels so the tips of your skis come up closer to your hand so you dont have to reach as far

just suck up your feet as much as you can and reach the rest of the way.

who needs to grab just make your body as straight and stiff as possible and put your arms straight out and you'll make everyone else look foolish.
