Although the rolling X may work for some in any of it's variations, it is a stroke that new guys can really screw up and get poor results. I have used a rolling X with varying degrees of success and it is something that will work, but I am always concerned with lifting any part of the razor during a honing stroke.
Different strokes..........:)
