If you do the knee of stone you can skip the lift step. Use the knee as a fulcrum to flip them over with the pec swap part of a full throw. So probably more a half throw

As fir openers i prefer asymetrical openers. I try to have at least two main attack threads from any opener i use. Bein able to swap attackin sides is nice once they figure out how to counter them.
Your opener should also stop a turn two pec dm.
The option to drop your weight turn two is nice or change into a kick check. Or come to think of it it should flow into counters for the attacks you cone across the most.
