I was refering specifically to rotating the point you are pulling from inside your body. We know for a fact that you can do this with marsh and the gun. If you have the point you are pulling from be a few inches from your center of mass and you pull you get a vector that breaks down into the perpendicular and pulling that you wanted. If this point, within your body rotates at the same speed as the object you have both components you need. The anti gravity component can be canceled as well if the object is orbiting below your center of mass, so your pulling vector gets all 3 components. See really bad picture below. left side is top down view, right is from the side. I have drawn both the force vectors and the decomposed ones with dashed lines. Edit: image did not seem to work

TLDR; The layman can for a few seconds, and a skilled enough lurcher could keep it up indefinitely. This ball metaphor matches up exactly to this scenario. Yes air resistance will slow the ball and make it fall, but if you stop spinning the string the ball won't fall immediately. So pulling from your center of mass, and with a friend throwing it perpendicular to you, you could get a few revolutions. BUT you don't actually have to pull from your center of mass. You could, with experience, practice, and probably luck pull from an orbiting node around your center of mass, just ahead of the ball. This provides the forward force you need, and if you get it exact you can perfectly negate air resistance.
