    Use a spotter until you are more comfortable with the move. Then do it on a tumble track and practice until you have it down.

    If I'm a leftie (for my round-off), should I twist to the left? I'm more comfortable twisting to the right, but from the video, lefties twist to the left while righties twist to the right.

    Do whatever you feel comfortable with, I am a leftie, and I am more comfortable with the right. Ask your coach to spot you if you want to try the left.

    Try to set higher, spin faster and twist your hips even faster, so eventually you will get your full twisting layout.

    You should start twisting shortly after jumping up to start your layout. I recommend watching videos of it in slow motion to watch the technique.
