I've been making biscuits for a year now and have always used a juice glass to cut my biscuits and they have always been perfectly round and rise amazingly high. I also do not twist my glass. I just press down and it's not struggle to make it through the dough. Maybe you are making the dough too tough by over working it. I don't roll out my dough, but press it to the proper thickness with my hands. I also use a shredder to shred my frozen unsalted butter instead of cutting it in. It makes it so much easier. I could never cut it in properly until I learned that method. Try it for yourself and see if it works for you as well
