It seems to work, should i be focusing on a different way?
so im guessing i should work on clearing the head from double bagg?
What is your focus of attack ? I'm not a rubber guard master so someone else would be better off giving advice. I normally zombie/newyork/crackhead to armbar or chill dog/ invisible collar to omoplata / sweep. If I can't zombie I meat hook and look for triangles or bait them to giving up the zombie.
Clearing the neck with the meat hook works wonders for when the guy is trying to dig his head in to keep you from clearing the neck.
That being said, it does loosen the arm up a bit. Just work your clinch. Keep the times between the tight clinch positions as short as possible. Once you can feel the clinch, you will know where you can and can't go ;)
If you're talking about going New York -> Meathook -> Chill Dog we do that all the time. But for sure a tight clinch is a must.
Love meat hook for one butterfly/half guard
