Ultimately it comes down to your overall speed in every mechanism, not just the mechanism used to hurdle. The teams that are up near the top are not only hurdling quickly (which many arms can do), but also getting around the field quickly, removing the ball form the overpass quickly, and acquiring the ball quickly.
And having a very effective Hybrid mode. 1024 and 1114 were a deadly Hybrid combination.
