Hey! I'm thinking about trying twisted looping just to get used to having my glider below me in that position. Afterwards I would pull joker maybe. I'm confident with T-sat for now. How difficult is to pull twisted loop? I haven't seen any yt video of anyone pulling that, so it's rather super easy or somewhat tricky. What's your experience with training T-joker and T-cork?

Hellu :) so at first in my opinion I would definetly not recommend you to go for twisted tumbling before you managed at least tw mac-tw, mistys, jokers and corks, in the end youre aiming for tw-tumbling and tw-exit what makes no sense to try if you not manage tw-corks and the rest :) . The risk of making an wrong brake input and falling in your lines and the glider is extremely high ;)
What you can look at and what helped me in the beginning is that you always take enough energy in the spiral for jokers and corks (depends also on your glider size) then try to pull the joker and cork with not to less brake input (not to flat) because when you spin the glider to sideways it has a lot of power and sideways movement you will have to manage and if you make an wrong brake input (to much brake input) in the heli connect you have a high tendency to f**k up. So to compare when you pull the tw-corks and tw-jokers more high you will have a bit more time to spin the glider at the right timing. And like KrisH said always try to go for full weightshift on the negative side when you spin the glider.

So the twisted spiral is one of the more difficult parts to manage - getting the right energy and judging the angle and maintaining the twist. The actual trick is in ways easier than non twisted because the weight shift works better when you pull for the negative.
You can do twisted loop but honestly I would say after twisted sat, I would go for twisted tumbling so you can feel pulling the inversion, then untwist during the turns. Once you have a feeling for the twisted inversion you just pull the spin and it untwists easy.
I'm doing that trick already :) also T-sat to heli.
i suggest you try twisted misty first since you are untwisting when you pull the misty.
