This topic is most interesting. I was never taught the low tow, or
presented with the concept at any of the 3 places I took lessons
(Estrella, Seminole Lakes and Turf, 3 years ago). How is it easier for
the glider driver? Wouldn't it create more work for the tug driver?

Are there any enthusiasts of the low tow who are also enthusiasts of
high wing loading for those good days? I've been in the "low tow"
position unintentionally at max wing loading when the tug driver musta
thought he was pulling a 2-33. Seems like there would be no room for
error if one started out in that position, and the tug then slowed
down!
