found my copy of Junior's book LAU'S LAWS.

He describes hand cock/scap load/loading as if for punch as the usual trigger to stretch
the big muscles as the stride goes forward while keeping the head back.He calls this the
usual/traditional/classic/upper body trigger.

The "secret" trigger is the "lower body trigger" that only a few do earlier as the stride foot
lifts.

This first undiscovered trigger sounds a lot like Williams inward knee turn to get the hip
cocked first to me (phase 1-cock the hips,phase2,cock the hands).Maybe it's undiscovered
because lau jr would not want to contaminate his thinking by reading Williams (similar to
how Mike Marshall doesn't read other hitting publications because it would interfere with
his own thinking).
