Kippey, kippey, kippey!
1) Practice hanging, push chest forward, feet/legs backward...feel the pendulum movement (no pulling yet). Just get that feel of momentum. Hang, chest/head forward, lower body back, swing.
2) Now do it violently, with arm pull! :)
3) Try it out for 2 weeks. Tennis Karen, you'll get 10 in no time flat!

I will try! When I've tried before, I lose momentum and end up pulling myself up more so than swinging myself up. Is this where practicing it for 2 weeks might help??!
Yes, the form takes practice. Also some confidence to push away hard at the top...realizing that your arms will not rip out of the sockets! And if nothing else, after 2 weeks of practice you'll be plenty strong to do regular pull ups!
I've seen Karen doing dead-hang pull ups more than once... Karen - you are definitely strong enough; it just comes down to the technique :)
