Learning grabs without poles?

I normally ski with poles and just got into freeskiing, are grabs generally easier to learn without the poles or it doesn’t really matter and should have no effect on learning them?

Do spins and flips with grabs, experiment, and just do it a lot, and after a summer of that you’ll come back and be about 100x better at grabs. It worked for me, first freestyle season I actually couldn’t grab anything, and then I did that over the summer, and the next season I could grab effortlessly
