One of the best that got the shift out of the way before swinging.

Are you not seeing that the barrel is already starting to turn as her front heel comes down? The launch is being initiated as the shift is happening - shift and swing.

Been down that road more than once... It equates to the difference between burgundy and maroon. Or... night, and later that night... Much of what both sides talk about are very similar, but the realization of that is just too painful to stomach.

One leg, both legs? Back, front ? Underneath, on top? Together, segmented? These are night and day. Black and white. Not similar. Not even close.

Only because of the way certain people explain (or mis-explain) the terms...
Only?

Maybe 2 legs. Every HLP hitter I’ve seen uses 2 legs. A big change. That’s actually when they gained a little leverage. pun intended. But the other stuff as seen through video is very different. TTB behind. Do you see Bustos doing that as a directional thing or a speed thing? How about the torso tilt? Reactional? Actionable?

I don't really use any of the words you used in this post. However, all of the things that I look for in a swing are present in the swing below. I'm guessing, but please correct me if I'm wrong, that most of the things you are looking for are in this swing as well. The fact that we both appreciate the same swing means that there must be some similarities. Sorry to break it to you...
