I told you this when I played with you but I'll say it again: I suggest that you try different setups for your throws. Opener throws aren't something to base your game around. They don't work as well against high-level players. You're holding yourself back by only having one setup, and it makes you very predictable. Try sitting back and flowing with your opponent, then using your hip throws to counter his movements.
Your opener throws could be put to better use if you used them as feints to set up other moves.
