Shouldn't matter you have to tie off their leg anyway, they are just making it easier by feeding it to you.

Do you guys prefer to hook the top leg, bottom, or both?

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I'll start dropping the shoulder on tuesday :). Mike, I usually take the bottom leg. I can't recall trying the top one, but I think that your opponent could resist harder when you have the top leg, because he'd have space behind that hip to push. And he could push against you with his bottom leg. I'm not sure how easy it is to visualise that by reading it.

I never hook the bottom leg, I always hook the top. I tried the bottom while drilling and it took more strength.
