Yesterday I reread S&S again (I get more out of it each time), and decided I needed to work on my glute contraction and abdominal bracing on my swings.
I expect a lot won't be surprised by what this helped, but since it might help someone with a sticking point, here's what happened:
My swings instantly felt better. Each set that I concentrated on this they felt better yet. Pretty soon I suddenly felt a pronounced float at the top of the swing, and "rest when the dirt is in the air" made more sense than ever. I timed a set of swings since this change, but they feel faster, and with that momentary rest during the float, they feel easier to repeat even though each individual effort is more forceful.
I'm going to continue rereading S&S, it hasn't disappointed yet.
