Have to watched Ted Fort's down swing waggle on the Lynn Blake/Ted Fort/Jeff Hull video? That is what you should be using as the next swing building block. Ted tries to do this move slowly to allow adequate time for the hips to move forward in a crossline path. The body reacts to the hip movement by causing the right shoulder to drop. This is not an arm movement. That is probably what is creating the problem. The arm movement needs to be saved for later. In order not to run out of arm later, you must let the body movement drive the right shoulder lower and delay the arm movement until after the right shoulder drops.
For the philosophy behind this solution, watch Yoda in the in the acquired motion chapter of the original Jeff Hull video (toward the end). But in my view, if you want best results, then concentrate on Ted Fort's Chapter two of the Lynn Blake/Ted Fort/Jeff Hull video. Practice the downswing waggle until you have it. It should be next component to be developed in your swing imo.

This sounds like its on the right track.
The only thing is I don't get this section of the video at all. The explanation of whats involved with the hitters waggle is a bit vague. I have been practicing something that looks similar and its improved my hip bump, but some part of the action is missing.
Whats involved with a correct hitters waggle?
edit: Was rewatching and playing around with the motion a bit - best I could determine is that your hip bumps and your shoulder turns slightly downplane, while your arms stay roughly in the same spot. Is this right? The pressure build up in the right arm is tremendous. From there I am guessing you thrust down pushing off of your right shoulder. Please let me know if I have missed something.
How can you practice it so you know you are doing it right? How can you get this slowness that Ted talks about?
