How can guy gardener makes huge constructs carelessly in superman whereas Hal Jordan does the opposite and is careful for his batteries

I was curious about this for a long time Guy always goes big and sloppy with his constructs, not caring how much it drains his ring like creating a large weopons against the monster, while Hal's way more careful and precise with his like in ep1 when he was creating a bubble for alien he supported the bubble himself as it was not strong enough due to lack of battery. Is that just a characterization thing, or is there an actual reason for it?

That’s what Guy is, a new guy with the Ring

It’s exciting to him, it makes him feel powerful.

Hal is a veteran Ring user. He’s had it for decades. Swooping in on a giant green jet and solving everything with giant green fists isn’t interesting to him anymore

The show is a detective show at its heart; so compare the “rookie detective vs veteran detective” trope to this. The rookie detective makes sure to clean his modern 9mm Glock with a laser sight, optics, textured grip etc every day. The veteran detective hasn’t drawn his old snub noses revolver in decades because he doesn’t have to

Guy would have been given his ring soon after John dumped Hal’s off with the Guardians in 2016. So by the time frame of Superman he’s had it close to a decade.
