This is one of those moves that i could never do, and then it just clicked one day out of the blue. I’m not really sure what it was that caused me to suddenly get it, but i think it may have been getting into a very good-formed scorpio, with a big arch in my back before sliding down into a handstand and releasing my leg from the pole.
This form caused the pole to be further behind my shoulder, allowing me to have more support for keeping my balance, and for keeping my arms straight.

I don’t know if there’s more to this move that i haven’t noticed myself doing, but i hope this is helpful! good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
