"I will have to give it another try but wearing shorts with loose pockets i could not make it consistently work by hooking it. 50% of the time it comes out with the gun unless you aggressively pull it. Different strokes. I like the concept just worried in a stress situation it wont work.

If the holster comes out with the gun, you are NOT HOOKING IT.
This piece of kit is just like any other, practice-practice-practice,... it may have its own peculiar idiosyncrasy, but, most tools do, imo.
AT FIRST,... I would just concentrate on hooking it, practice that without worrying about how fast your draw. Tilting the barrel up, will automatically position the hook in the proper position. I wouldn't even worry about pulling the weapon out of the pocket, while PRACTICING. Just cock the muzzle up a little and draw to the point you feel it hook solidly. Once you get the muscle/mental memory of the HOOK,... then practice pulling the pistol completely out. When you feel it hook, just keep drawing with constant pressure, KNOWING, the holster will be left in the pocket. I forgot,... once you tilt the barrel UP, and feel the HOOK, just pull your weapon almost straight back, in a position almost level with the ground. This not only insures a positive hook, but also a clean separation from the holster, it also positions your pistol in a forward shooting position, automatically.
All the best!
P.S.,... consider this, since all pocket piece AD's are the direct result of trigger activation,.... which pocket holster do you think gives the best trigger cover / protection? :think:
I bought two of these for my M&PShield45,... one I cut and filed to fit a pocket that has a triangular shape bottom,.... the other holster I left stock, for square bottom pockets.
