Jump into the air and Scissor Kick legs action force the hips clockwise rotation. According to the Law of Momentum Conservation upper body has to start rotation in opposite direction – counterclockwise. So, upper body rotates faster in case of jump FH with Scissor Kick than just jump FH. IMO, this technique can add less than 10% to the RHS because upper body rotation is relatively slow.
