Yoda makes it look effortless I am hard pressed to tell the difference when he hits or swings.
I don't think they would even know what pattern they teach and why should they- it's all mix and match. From he low and slow take-away to the pulling down the church bell, fire the hips, roll the wrists- it is all held together with band- aids. The good ones know, even the non-TGM ers, know what works. The problem I see is their ambiguous language that confuses students from one tip to the next.

Before Lynn, nobody taught Hitting- it was the bastard stepchild, the swing for fat old men. Lynn showed what Hitting is and that it is a stroke pattern for everyone.
