Digging up dirt with (Twist Throttle)

Rode this past weekend and this is my third year with this quad, I still have a hard time with the thumb throttle. I thought I would come around with the thumb throttle coordination, but I feel like I’m fighting it. I find myself trying to twist the hand grip off the bars like a twist throttle. Is it me or do other riders have the same issue? And I’m seriously thinking of converting to a twist throttle, wait , wait, OK all the naysayers can chime in now, this issue always digs up old dirt I know.
