I would not recommend you to use such an "trick" to cancel out movement, in the case of moving backwards with your back to the ground and your shoulders raised id say that doing a simple tap with one arm while extending wrist would give you a much better opportunity of doin a sharp turn.
One of the best tricks I know doh is to lax EVERYTHING that is not needed too keep your positioning so that the momentum is divided into other body parts..
