Do grabs make you more stable in the air? If so, what is the easiest/most stable grab?

I always try to safety, even if my hands barely touching the ski without actually grabbing much its w/e. i notice most of the time people who just tuck up still have their arms flailing, i myself can't keep my arms still if i'm in the air so i gotta grab something, so it definetly stabalizes me, if i just air no grab i end up extending my entire body i cant even stay tucked

safeties definitely help. Just reach down and go for the grab but if you miss and get your boot thats okay it still works

Safety (under boot) is the easiest for most people
A true tail on my 180's makes me feel stable for some reason.

the same grab may not help for all tricks. but if you grab something that is natural to grab easily then it will usually stop you from flailing and feel more stable

For me safetys make me unstable in the air. I find that I lean to the side im grabing in the air and I just feel sloppy.

for some reason i only feel stable while spinning if im grabbing critical. but don't tell anyone, i'd rather people think im doing it on purpose.

idk about being more stable but they shure as hell make stuff look a lot better! because if you dont go for a grab your arms go all over, and when you at least try for a grab you dont fail as much
