See if you can equalize with your mouth open. If you can, then you are most likely using the frenzel.
Go in front of a mirror tilt your head up and equalize. Using the Frenzel, your adam's apple should move.
Place the palm of your hand on your stomach (obviously not the hand you use to equalize) and equalize. If you feel your abdominals flex, then you are probably using the Valsalva. If you can equalize without flexing them AT ALL then you are probably using the Frenzel.
Like Eric implied, the Frenzel is the way to go.
