Great video and layman explanation.

However, the tactic looks the same for all situations, i.e., ball up if you are using weak equipment, or vice versa.

Also, how the ball motion comes into play, isn't quite explained in the video. My guess is

Skip/snap - retain more energy, equivalent to ball down
Hook/set - loss energy quicker, equivalent to ball up
Smooth - medium
