TWW - Scales Room Skip in TotG (No Tuner)

If you grab the statue right as it is about to hop, you can store that hop for when you let go of the statue (by pressing B, pulling out the leaf, or being damaged).
Here is my first (not great) setup at skipping the scales room.

Really cool

Sick

Can you store multiple hops this way? By dropping it with A instead of B? Does the direction of the hop matter? Could you store the momentum of throwing the statue if Link got hit right as he was about to throw it?

You can only store one hop as far as I can tell. The statue hops forward at the moment you let go of it (so it's dependant on Link's facing angle at the moment of release). Throwing the statue doesn't give the hop.
