Give any roll a tight tug outward to apply pressure to the tear line without yanking the whole roll down - then immediately rip across the line.

The final rip acts both as a means of stripping the paper off and a redirection of the initial tug energy.

Eventually you should be able to rip any sheets with one hand. Or get paper everywhere like a silly cat sometimes. A fun alternative though. :)
