I can't speak for Yoda . . . but if I had to guess he traces the Straight Plane Line in BOTH his Hitting and Swinging procedures . . . and therefore the startdowns will look somewhat similar as a result of the Delivery Lines being the same.

Just a guess though.

Based on his demonstration of the hitter's startdown waggle in the original Jeff Hull acquired motion tape,. Yoda's startdown waggle is significantly different from Ted's. I used his downswing waggle demonstration as my model originally, and that is why I was so surprised when the part two Ted Fort interview video showed a significantly different form. 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.
