I was taught your way by my instructor ,who was a retired WW 11 Air corps instructor, ( 1973 ) have made many landing in my Cessna 172 this way and it works every time. I Have owned a Mooney M 20 C for a long time and it seems easier with it being a low wing. Having confidence in yourself and your airplane is the key to successful cross wind landings. To gain this you just can't fly on calm days. I have almost 1900 hrs with 472 in the Mooney.
