Does anybody know any tips for not over or under rotating whilst mid-air leaving your head vulnerable?

Often times a longer ED jump for CB is time saving or at least a lot easier, but even though I'm not really high for the gravity's standards, I feel super lacking control of head protection. Anyone have tips on helping with this?

As bad ass as it is to be StabberZ and run head first into you only to hit you and outscore you, it's completely not my playstyle to be so overtly aggressive.
