I throw breakaways since I want it to look clean not turn my body just to do it front style then back to side style, I think a breakaway is just more cleaner.  
Though everytime I do over and under boing e boing in front style it snags but in side style it doesn’t.

I mentioned in my first post that I DO know how to throw a breakaway. I can do just about all of my tricks from a breakaway, I just prefer the front throw over the breakaway. There a probably 4-5 tricks I’ve made that WILL NOT work if done from a breakaway. Throwing the way I do is more comfortable.

I can understand that!  
However that’s not the case for me.  
When i throw frontstyle, but need a trapeze  
I generally do an under mount sorta brain twister thing, into a trapeze and go from there!  
Or a Bro mount and go from there.  
It looks cleaner to do bro mount from a front throw, and it looks cleaner if you tricks start with an under mount.

I generally throw side style in other cases
