For example, the longitudinal polarization fractions $R_L$ of the $B^0\\to (D_s^{*+}, D^{*+}, \\rho^+)D^{*-}$ and $B^+\\to (D_s^{*+}, D^{*+}, \\rho^+)\\rho^0$ modes increase as the masses of the mesons $D_s^{*+}, D^{*+}, \\rho^+$ emitted from the weak vertex decrease. The subleading finite-mass or finite-energy corrections modify these simple estimates only slightly.
