Like we’ve spoken about many times before. Nothing is swinging until the bat comes forward. So the term ‘swing the foot down’ doesn’t make much sense to me. Since nothing is swinging until the foot is down right?
Weight shift is something that really is never the same and can change from pitch to pitch. Timing(approach) w location dictates that. I want to lose the backside on time if that makes sense. I think that’s done through timing. You have to be able to play deep to out front. Whatever the situation or count dictates..
Part of not losing the backside early is mechanical. Part is timing. Both are needed imo.

Yes, they say it take’s .150 or .180 ms depending on who your talking about. IMO it takes 30 ms to initiate the swing, back elbow lowers, the stretch is completed. You TTB before you TTB, your priming the snap.
So, technically yes the front heel has to be down. Although, there are things that happen before foot plant.
