Perhaps a 4 barrel hitter needs to load that way?
Start down is the same as swinging.
Isn't punch or pitch elbow position defined at the release point?

Bagger

Nice one Bagger! How come I didn't think of that . I like that answer. Looking at the "Hitters Row" video of Ted in the Gallery, it looks like his hands are Turned to the Plane at Release Point (suggesting Standard Wrist Action which goes hand in hand with a Pitch Basic Elbow as Annikan said).
I believe you can't get the amount of delayed release in Ted's swing without doing the above. If he was really Drive Loading, it would look more like 10-19-A #1 (note the photo is with Zero Wrist Action, so in reality there would be a little more Wristcock).

Could Ted be a Four Barrel Swinger?
