Sounds like you are starting to recognize the boundary that exists at the Blue level of PMTS and move beyond it. Good for you. What it sounds like you are starting to discover is the difference between being tipped and tipping. To become an advanced PMTS skier, you have to be able to tip past the point where you run out of range of motion and learn how to combine tipping, flexion, and relaxation to continue tipping throughout the majority of the arc and into real angles. This requires solid balancing ability at the top of the arc.

No. Whether you are sequential or more simultaneous in your edge change and when you decide to transfer balance (i.e. OFR, TFR, or WR) does not really factor into this. It may be that that a particular type of release is helpful to you when you are trying to figure this out, but you should be able to make the same arc with any release. Personally, I would not start with the WR when working on this. You need a large amount of release energy (i.e. a true Von Gruenigen turn) to make it work and it requires a higher level of balance.

I have always found this pressure issue difficult to judge , often standing on it too early .
YES! The issue is that once you stop giving into the pressure and stand on the ski, tipping stops (and therefore the turn radius stops decreasing). What you have to figure out how to do is to relax properly so that you can keep the tipping and flexing going much deeper into the turn. Try to defer standing on the ski until late in the arc.
