WAG How to stop piking down in twistsing?

[Mthegymqueen]

Hello, I am currently working on my front twisting. I have done front fulls to mats in the pit, and front 1.5 into the pit. But my issue is every time I twist, I pike towards the ground before I even am off the ground, which is causing me to not flip enough and fall backwards. I try to look up longer before I twist and say the word "patience" in my head before I start to twist, but I still pike down. Does anyone have any tips to help me.

Thank you!
