How much does a grab slow down your spin?

[defcutskier]

until this weekend i only did grabs in 360s.

i am able to do 720s since a long time and very easy, i just never putted grabs in it.

so saturday i started with some mute 540s, i felt very comfortable and i got the grab everytime after 2 or 3 tries.

then i went for the 720° mute grab, i underrotated a few times but after a few more tries i landed it with the full spin.

but if i want to do it, i have to initate my spin as hard as if i want to a 900° without a grab.

do i do something wrong or how's that for you?

ya, it slows you down... but if you wait for the grab a little longer, and bring it up to your hands, your spin shouldnt slow as much. in other words dont reach for the grab with your hans, let it come up to you
