Clear a 45-degree landing angle; 48 is this build's target

The instructor says that as long as a shot is above a 45 degree landing angle, it gets more stopping power than outward motion. For this player, the perfect-world number is 48 degrees, achieved by going half a degree weak on the build, which adds a little height and spin and can cost two to three yards for more stopping power.
