Blunt grab tips

So I can blunt grab sometimes and successfully grab the tip of my tail but I have to look back a little and it throws me off balance sometimes and I've noticed that a lot of pro or good skiers don't really look at back at the tail when they grab blunts but somehow they all grab the very tip. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to grab the tip without looking back? Or is it better to look back a little to spot your grab?

Got this tip from Stefan Thomas , you lock your arm straight out behind the ski your trying to grab and with a straight locked elbow you come straight down towards your heel as you pull your heel towards your hand. WHat I did to practice was sit on the right side of the chairlift right against the side and do it repeatedly on my way up every run. Hope that helps
