While it's true that the coffee gets sucked out of the cup.
I find that if you hold the cup upside down, there is a
small amount of lift generated by the cup. This comes
in handy if you find that you are a little heavy handed
while trying to handglide.
You may find that it helps if you take a light fingered approach.
Speaking of approach, landing is like picking up women,
it's all in the approach.
