If Smoak can now execute his swing in 30-second-time, and stay comfortably balanced the whole time, then in a sense it doesn't matter* which swing tweaks he made. He's still going to get the childlike freedom that goes with a slo-mo'able sports motion.
I share your hope that Bledsoe attended to the little things like keeping weight underside, breathing right, unhinging the wrists late, etc.
As far as repeatability through the season ... I can't imagine that, in June, he won't be standing in his hotel room taking a few slo-mo swings, and they'll be the same ones, no doubt. Once you get a taste for the slo-mo you never go back. I still, 15 years later, occasionally get up and practice old aiki stuff in super slo-mo. It's fun to do.
Thanks for that Pops ;- )
