Do you tend to make them circle to the left or the right? Cause I usually get an over grip and then pull them down, and when they stand up I hit them with uchi mata. But lately I haven't been getting the square attack and was thinking of maybe taking another approach like making them circle? So if I throw right handed which side should I make them circle? Also would it actually be better to hit htme with uchi mata when they stand up if I have them bent over, or should I hit them when they're bent over?

I have a few ways for getting uchi-mata, the one I use most is (this is for a right handed uchi-mata) the most basic but works the best. Pull em hard to your right (their left) and, just like the kata, just as they react the other way launch it. I only started doing it this way after studying the nage-no-kata for about 3 months every day, it really is good though, the right circling method. Reguires less force than a front on one like you're hitting now, when you're tired the front on one is hard to pull off and takes a lot of gas if you go for it a few times and don't nail it.
Not a great idea to uchi-mata someone who hunched over, if they are strong and you dont break their balance much they can nail you with a massive pick up in that scenario. Launch it just as they are coming out of the hunch to the standing position and use their momentum as much as possible. All about saving energy!!
