Try swinging a little frather back before you pull. I would assume you are getting caught before inversion, and then trying to pull, and you just flag out at the bar. Keep your hands directly over your head and swing until you feel centered over the pole while upside down. Practice on some pop ups without bend and then with a little bend on a very small pole.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph
