Back-control player: what to watch

Draft guide, not a remote diagnosis. The causes below are possibilities to check with your coach.

Use the linked game to repeat this situation with a clear goal. Start with a comfortable frame or grip and low resistance. Change one rule, then observe whether the same problem recurs.

Common situation

Seatbelt is on but they shake you off or peel a hook.

Likely cause

No second layer. You have the seatbelt but no body triangle, no hooks deep, no head control.

Coaching cue

Lock the layers. Seatbelt + chest connection + at least one strong hook.

Watch for during rolling

Whether you control the head and the chest, not just the arms.
