That last pirouette is probably OK, I’d say. There would need to be sensors on the rails to confirm time of regrasp on pirouettes.

biomechanics – tangent of release
Every release from any external-swing movement always results in
the center of mass being projected at a right angle to its radius.
If you release when the Centre of Gravity is as high as the Bar you go straight up, straight down. (e.g. Gienger)

teach Takemoto, not Adler
Adler (Eagle) is what the FIG Code calls the Stoop circle rearward forward on H Bar.
Stoop shoot we always called it in my Gym.
Unless the gymnasts is extremely flexible, there’s a chance to do damage to the shoulders training stoop shoot.
Ideally we’d teach Adler 1/2 (Takemoto) and 1/1 without doing the Adler itself.
