The concept of hinge offset is worth exploring for the real answer here. If the rotor has the ability to develop control at zero g, it has high hinge offset, and can be maneuvered more. Teetering rotors are the worst kind for maneuvering, for that reason, as they have zero hinge offset.
See this discussion, with a good illustration half way down:
