once you gather the guts it takes your going to see how natural it feels. you know how to do them so just try them slowly. start only getting a bit off axis and then go more and more off.

Set with your arms, and try to wait as long as you can after popping before bringing your body around and spinning. Try to keep your head and body facing forward except for your arms. Then just tuck in and bring it around. If you lead with your head and set properly it shouldn't be tough.

i cant control them but everyone i know except for brownsteeze that can do them all the time
say that you set for a regular 7 then at 180 drop or shoulder back and try to look at your ass
or try 7 tails tog get you a little offf axis just to get comfortable with cork
