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.

Be aware that 'quick startdown' in a swinger's case does not mean 'quick hands', but is a function of the pivot train moving from the feet up through the body at startdown - at its quickest producing snap loading via quick knee motion/hip action.
