I’m trying to learn a straddleback, and I keep having the same consistency issue of hitting/catching my ankles on the low bar when i catch. I’m about 5’6 and on FIG, I completely cannot do the skill Becuase my feet hit before I even release. On further settings, I have trouble getting the backwards motion to catch safely. Does anyone have any tips/drills for getting my feet out of the low bar?

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
