There are two currnt theories on swithbacks:-

Theory 1. Switchbacks form when reconnecting field lines Froms a curl and then continues to ripple as it grows.

Theory 2. Reconnecting field lines froms a twisted flux rope like shape.

It is then bombarded with turbulent solar winds. The slower wind is jutted out furst then the fast wind comes jutting out. This creates it's signature 'S' shape
