Tomasello style, high/long/straight

Other style, low/fade/inconsistent

So it isn't an equiptment issue. It's a swing issue

i like to make sure i "hit down" so i can at times overdo the foward lean. Probably why Manzella had me have such a foward ball position when i see him. Also i do come in too steep but that is usually the result of a bad takeaway or just trying to save the shot.

I think the tomasello way just allows me to not "hold onto" the accumulator angle so long and allows me to not have so much foward lean which results in better contact and a higher flight.
