MT rollback control
Folks with the new 6 spd sport MT, how do you control rollback when starting on a steep hill or incline?
Previous older MT cars, like my 997 GT3, it was pretty easy to modulate the manual emergency brake with the clutch release to control the car from rolling backwards on a hill.
All insight, pointers or tips greatly appreciated.

Using the hand brake was cheating. 
Now ya gotta learn how to be smooth and quick.

The car has the hill hold feature. Even the PDK cars have this. You can also activate the electric parking brake.

Foot on brake, let the clutch out to bite point, use the side of your foot to blip the throttle and once you feel it engage take your foot immediately off the brake and accelerate. Be confident.
