Finally nailed my sourdough scoring after 6 tries

I've been baking sourdough for about 3 months now and my scoring always came out looking like a mess. Yesterday morning I tried a new technique where I held my lame at a flatter angle instead of straight down. The ear popped right up and I got this beautiful leaf pattern out of it. My wife actually said "whoa" when she saw it come out of the oven. Has anyone else found a simple trick that totally changed their bread game?

Used to think the lame angle didn't matter, but you're totally proving me wrong.

Can you explain what changed your mind? I'm curious too.
