an analogy
I use an analogy in describing the Start Down. It's similar to pushing a car down a hill.

The fast Start Down is analogous to quick and explosive push that would start the car down the hill. It would have the feel of a quick and heavy pressure that would last a couple of milliseconds. After the hard push, the car would come off your hands. Then you'd be chasing it, trying to get your hands in position to push again. This is not a very effective method.

The slow Start Down is analogous to a deliberate acceleration of the car. You would feel the pressure increase as you pushed against the car, and you would continue pushing until the car was moving faster than you could run. It would be similar to the Olympic bobsled. This scenario wins when you're chasing cars or pars.
