No doubt - but isn't that a part of transforming the swing? This morning went through - put them in a SnF set and they can hit off the machine cranked up - turn them back and old habits immediately take over - back to SnF - back to regular - back to modified SnF - back to regular - back to rear leg - back to regular - etc...
What I see going on is that for most of them their timing is deeper (meaning the SnF and rear legs are helping create a deeper contact point) but once in a regular set up the old habits aren't meshing with the new timing right away....
I tend to use the machine much more then maybe I should - because off front toss they aren't stressed as much with speed so they can use the new mechanics and hit well -

They may seem like riddles to you, but they are all questions I have had to ask and answer myself and there seems to be a lot of SnF drill promotion right now.
Mechanics don't matter unless the hitter is under stress due to velocity. If you can sit and wait, then you can get away with simply loading and waiting. The SnF drill teaches you to be sudden from a very specific setup. Adding a forward move later will disrupt the entire drill. So if you perfect the suddenness of the SnF drill, if you do the one legged drill... You learn how to stay back over the rear leg and wait. If you want that to be your load, do the drill. Get the pelvis inside the rear leg and the dynamic of the everything changes.
