My wrestling coach made it simple: The 2 best control ties in wrestling are the underhook and Russian. The underhook is your shoulder in front of his shoulder, and a Russian is your shoulder behind his shoulder.

Great job. It is all about elbow height. Notice his hand placement high on the spine, not capped on the shoulder. This keeps the elbow high and helps win the tie.

Elbow beats Hand, Shoulder beats Elbow.
If your elbow is behin his or your rips, he cant whizzer you.
Not every overhook is a whizzer or even a control "Beat the shoulder/break the posture"

So the concept is a shoulder battle of whose is lower? (Basically)

[mowgli]

Wait, you want your shoulder under his and not over?

[zach]

Why not connect with your head to his collarbone to make it harder for him to beat your elbow

[mc]

So you have shoulder pummel? You do this by squating and beating his height to shelf it on yours?

I worry about someone breaking my elbow in a real fight
