In the end you can stick whatever labels on it you want, teach and no teach what you want (IMO this is student dependent), emphasize this over that (again IMO student dependent) but in the end an elite swing has one basic look and feel....you can tweak around the edges and there are some style elements but watch Justine Stone's video or Matt Antonelli's they might be using a little different language but the are both advocating the same thing basic mechanics....a solid athletic foundation, a coil/loaded position at toe touch, at heel plant building the swing from the bottom up, initiating the swing by turning the barrel (no pushing to point of pivot or knob to ball motion) and staying in the hitting zone as long as possible (no hitting down on the ball) with hands above the ball and a slight upward angle/tilt to drive the ball.
Again reword however you want emphasize what you want but the basics are there no matter how you describe it and for certain student certain cues may work or not work but the basics don't change.
