Extension is the key, I think, roosvelt. As you capture the hand, you need to also extend taking them off balance forward. Then, as you lift, you keep that extension on the uke so they have no choice but to go along with the motion or have the arm removed. I will check with my Sensei, of course. Thank you for your input. I'll think on it some more.

You'd better check your idea with your sensei. If you raise your hand, don't give the balance back to the uke? In Aikikai version, it's stressed to lower your center to break uke's balance by my sensei, his sensei, and his sensei's sensei (a shihan). In shodokan style, I see the raise hand version in the forward cut version.
