so i searchbarred and nothing came up so whatever dont hate too much.

right now im working on getting iron cross tail grab spins just 3's and 5's now.  ive noticed i spin better, faster and cleaner when i grab. when im trying bigger spins, 7's or 9's, i want to grab to make it easier to spin. but i dont want to do the tail bc i want to focus on getting the bigger spin. any sugesstions on some easy grabs to spin with to keep my spins looking good when im trying bigger ones. thanks.

standard mute helps a ton with on axis spins.  get comfortable with them and work them out further and further on your ski until youre getting nose mutes.

Low mutes and japans for sure.

I hate safety grab, the name completely misleads me.

Safety blunt and mute are really easy. Then when you get comfortable with both blunt and mute octo isnt too bad and that keeps you retarded stable in the air.

Safety is the easiest in my opinion. Low mutes and japans are pretty easy as well in straight spins. Tail grabs are pretty easy in cork 7's+. I find mute and japan the easiest in rodeos.
