Default Sparrowhawk handling

Is the Sparrowhawk handling suitable for a low time glider pilot who flies infrequently? How is pitch and roll sensitivity compared to say, a Discus B? One of our club members seems to have a big problem staying in position on tow. He does just OK in a K21. I need to know how to help him or conversely, suggest he do something else. I have 1-26 , 1-34, LS4, ASW20, ASW 27, DG808, and Discus CS experience.

Thanks in Advance

As light as it is, I would expect low polar moments and very quick response..
I seems to me that he should build some more experience ti increase his safety margins.
I suspect I am confirming waht you already think.
