No disrespect intended, but I would feel much more comfortable if the author of the hitter's swing I was studying, Ted Fort, might possibly provide the answer to my question.
No offense taken . . . I just thought you may want to know Homer Kelley's thoughts on the matter . . . I'd certainly like to hear Ted's as well.

One thing to think about would be in regards to your query the nature of Hand Acceleration required in the Hitters Stroke inorder to sustain the Lag Pressure loaded by the Pivot . . . the "non violent" looking Downstroke Waggle (and Start Down) has much to do with the nature of Hand Acceleration and thus Lag Pressure.

The Swinger's method of Acceleration vs. the Hitter's is where the answer to your query lies.
