Though difficult, the best technique is:
Approach downwind, with a “good” ROD.
Jerk the collective up as the ground rushes up and you lose ETL on Main and Tail rotors. If you are heavy (or high DA), and you really try, you might manage to bleed a few RRPM, which is obviously ideal.
Let a right yaw develop, preferably wind assisted. Kick in a heap of left pedal - enough to stop the yaw instantly, and start a rapid yaw to the left. Jerking a little extra collective at this stage helps.
Really, it’s only likely to work well, if you can keep the RRPM from recovering (Tricky with so much installed power), otherwise the the excellent TR will just “work”.
Practice makes perfect.
