yup only looks good if grabbed or spun.
For me its all about the cut and watching the boat spin. by that i mean, when i take them big and progressive its always a late cut at the trough and my eyes are glued to the a$$ of the boat. 1) b/c i love to watch
2) b/c when I do a late (progressive) cut, if I throw my head i do a r2rev.
But if your cut is just slow cut in you can turn your head all you want it ain't goin progressive.
Thats just my take, from my riding. may or may not work for ya
