The difference is 'counter fall' - a reverse pivot moves 'center', a 'counter fall' keeps center stable - Similar to Austin's view of the hips/tailbone swinging, with the head/center being stable.

A right anchor keeps the tailbone still (bottom of spine), standard knee keeps the head still (top of spine).

Either the 'top swings' or the 'bottom swings'. (keep the hips level - right anchor, or allow the hips to tilt - standard knee action, right leg straightens)

Hitter's IMO should use standard action because it really, really helps the crossline hip motion.

Despite what is being taught as Austin's approach now (which isn't what I think he really did), I have really grown to appreciate his swing and theories more and more - especially his hip motion.
