I've always used rudder and elevator to hold the nose on a
point when rolling, the roll being done with aileron and the
nose held on the point with sometime uncoordinated use of
the controls. I've never flown in competition. Never done
slow or hesitation rolls. If I had my way, I'd do a hundred
hammerheads for every roll.

Which acro site, give a link and I'll check it out.
