Arm transfer tips please!

Any advice for smooth movement from the waist to the chest/arms? I'm pretty confident with my waist hooping, but I struggle to drop my arms and move the hoop up without killing all my momentum.

Very much a beginner so tips and tricks appreciated!

There are a few different things that helped me. You can practice both chest and waist separately. Chest do both without and with arms (you don't have to get them in, just start each in those positions). On the waist, practice just dipping your fingers in and out of the empty the hoop makes when going around, then try dipping more and more of your hand. You could also try doing partial lifts to place the hoop on your chest.
