100% agreed, I get this in sparring once in a while, its all in the squeeze. If you dont tap someone with it, at least you got to work on your squeeze :)

Exactly ..Set bars for yourself. You may not tap them that day, or that week, but if work at it and you get the tap later.. you know you're squeeze is getting better.
Thanks guys.
The way I work on my squeeze is to take a medicine ball between my knees, squeeze the hell out of it cross my feet (im short so its not so easy) then while you are squeezing the med ball whip up and over, then back to center extend legs, then whip up to the other side. Keep my hands t-rexed. I whip up and imagine trying to throw the ball across the room with my hips, up and over hard and fast over and over. I think it helps.
Like anything the % is higher if he dosen't see it comming. If he thinks you messed up and left him an americana on the far side he'll be too focused on tapping you to see or defend it. It's all in how well you sell it but miss your timing and you'll get caught.
