First two half guard sweeps I learned as a white belt.
Still use them today. Occassionally I'll get someone who bases out of the first one really well / hard (superman arms forward) and I end up using it to come out the back door and attack that way.
My all time favorite halfguard sweep will always be the shaolin sweep though.
Good details as always. I forgot about giving them a hard nudge forward when they are trying to dig in the crossface- will remember to do that!
How do you guys like to recover underhook? I just like to hip escape to knee shield.

Ive done both of these every day for 17 years and I will do both every day for the next 40 years. Great details to moves that will work for a lifetime against the best guys
Whats an Omaha?10th planet stuff. Jaws of life. Omaha whip.
The real issue I have is getting the under hook. Once I've got it, I'm probably coming up to dog fight. If the guy whizzers, I'm going for the roll under.
More often than not, I can't see an opening for the under hook. I wind up dragging the outside arm across for the John Wayne sweep. It works, but I don't find it nearly as satisfying.
If you're already using the John Wayne sweep why not use that to get the underhook? Control their arm and get your underhook when they post to block that sweep if you lose it.The real issue I have is getting the under hook. Once I've got it, I'm probably coming up to dog fight.

The knee cut
The 3/4 mount
Double underhook pass
Leg-weave
