He seems too spazzy to try the hand cupping, I feel like he’d freak out more. He not only curls up in a ball when scared but he thrashes his tail like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s quite hard to calmly hold him lol
Another option is to hold him up against your body in the palm of one hand, particularly useful when trying to get to a chair/couch and a blanket. It gives him some "back pressure" like their hides do and keeps one hand free.

I'd be curious to see how it looks that he is so spazzy that 2 hands wouldn't work despite being balled up. It certainly sounds pretty funny when I try to picture that. I always thought the ones who balled up were the easiest to work with like I described, but none of mine were ever quite this scaredy.

At around that size, I'm sure he'll calm a bit more with age and size, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just keep sessions calm on your end and relatively brief and he'll figure it out.
