Does Barry Bonds use the Lau System of Hitting?

> I'd say he does, he has one of the most level swings in baseball, he chops at the ball to give it backspin so it carries a lot more than swinging with an uppercut, most of his HRs are line drives which shows that they have a lot of carry. Lau taght that a downward chopping swing was best


I'm having a little trouble finding the level or downward chop for backspin in these clips. Maybe you can help me?
