Sparrowhawk handling

Is the Sparrowhawk handling suitable for a low time glider pilot who flies infrequently? How is pitch and roll sensitivity compared to say, a Discus B? One of our club members seems to have a big problem staying in position on tow. He does just OK in a K21. I need to know how to help him or conversely, suggest he do something else. I have 1-26 , 1-34, LS4, ASW20, ASW 27, DG808, and Discus CS experience. Thanks in Advance Hartley Falbaum CFIG, USA I have a fair amount of time in a Sparrow Hawk and believe that if you can handle a 126 you can fly a Sparrow hawk. The stick forces are light and it is a pleasure to fly and easy to land and will fly when other can't.
