What's up with my sweep move?

I find myself doing a sweep often against my opponent when he falls on the other side of me only to have it come out going the wrong direction. I know in my head that boom there is my chance to punish him for his mistake but, it comes out the wrong way only leading to me getting punished. Any tips to help with my mistake? Am I timing it to early or is the area right in the middle of the action so the game doesn’t know which way to point you?

:wgrin:

you’re doing it too early
time your sweep so that your opponent is landing on it
