I've been training for months with the top roll and though i was getting pretty good at it. I just went 2 days ago to my first midwest championship tournament. Well i found out i was one of the few if any people who were trying for a toproll, EVERYONE was going for the hook. What i found next to impossible was to transition from my initial backpressure pull and to free my hand so i could employe a toproll. Then would get caught into a hook while still trying to do a toproll and i think it left me at a disadvantage that i wasnt prepared for. Any advice? Should i just practice the hook from now on and forget about using the toproll against "real" compeditors? (it works great against amatures)
