Yoda is an astonishingly brilliant guy. But even so, I can't imagine that even he is quickly able to adjust minor aspects of his swing, so that everything is exactly as the book describes when he switches from swinger to hitter and then back again.

I appreciated the rest of your post very much bucket.
Yes sir . . . I think this is precisely why he uses Tracing the Straight Plane Line for both Hitting and Swinging. That way the Hip Motion can be the same Slide parallel to the Plane Line . . .

The Hitter using the Angle of Approach has the hips moving to Right Field which is an ENTIRELY different motion . . .

You are very wise to study the different startdowns because they must be compatible with the delivery line you select.
