Do you sweep the tongue in DL?

Second year anesthesia resident here, currently in a two month long off site ob rotation. Tbh after two months with only spinals and epidurals my DL skills are a lil rusty, I guess it’s bad form but I never sweep the tongue. This week they started making gyn laparoscopic surgeries, so I started intubating again. My mentor here insists I sweep the tongue this Weird way, twisting the Laryngoscope. Im trying but somehow this made it more difficult, any advice?
