Why is running English always (or at least usually) used for multi rail kicks?

It's possible to hit the ball with a little bit of "excess" top spin -- beyond rolling smoothly. The problem is that the higher you hit, the less forward speed you get right off the tip. It turns out that for a shot like a lag where the ball has time to be rolling smoothly before it hits something -- you want to hit at about 61% of the height of the ball for the ball to roll the farthest.
How about a vertical masse slightly forward of the vertical axis?
