Why does my wing do not enters the SAT

Hi all!
I recently tried to enter SAT with my XC glider (Gin Rebel Race).
The problem is that every time I give the impulse, the wing enterswith the outher (lover) side partially collapsed.
I tried to increase speed and ammount of imput, to pull slighly the outer B riser during entry, to exagerate the weightshift, but had no effect.
Is it possible that my wing simply is not able to SAT or is there anything else I can try?

JustAcro Dbag

A couple years ago, I got one of JustAcro's excellent Dbags.
Thanks Pal... I love it!

I've been using it pretty regularly ever since.
I have an other Romanian made Dbag, but I nearly always grab my JustAcro one. It's just designed so well. It packs easier and it's cleaner/simpler than any other design I've seen. My friends have other versions. Frankly I don't like theirs.... some are the old "stuff it up into the bag" style. What a pain.
I even had to add safetys to the Romanian one.
