I can't quite land them but I've gotten close to get more spin for (rightside)I throw my left hand over and down harder, it helps a lot.

I do handdrag 3s and 5s regularly. For the 5 it helps to have a bit more speed. Set your rotation a bit harder, pull in your knees or go for the daffy-like body position to help you spin faster, and it'll come around easy all by itself.

I've always found more pop, helps. However, I've always made sure that the feature is bigger when doing this. If I were to go pop more on a smaller feature, I end up flat.

I'm also still learning the 5s though...
