I'd like to finally get my invert. I am trying to figure out how to correct what I am doing wrong. I can bring my leg up past the pole while standing straight up but the tilt and hook thing…. Ha!

Capfeb,
I had the same problem. After many failed attempts, I was finally able to do it (inconsistently) holding the pole. I figured out early that I was WAY too close to the pole to get into the elbow stand. I've seen a lot of people who are too close the pole have to hop into the elbow stand and they often end up missing the pole.
When I tried cupping my hands in front of the pole I found I could get it every time because it forced me to be a little further away. I then had no need to jump as I only had to extend my legs upward to feel and grab the pole. Cupping in front of the pole also alleviated the issue I had with my head being on the ground because my head is resting on my forearms. Also, I know when I feel my lower back touch the pole, I can extend my legs and not miss.
