If you were to take a Rubber Band and barely pull it back, the impact or "pop" of the Rubber Band is going to be very, very small (or in other words, with very little power.)
Now, if you take that same Rubber Band and pull it back to where there is an extreme amount of tension in the band (or in other words, through the torso of the hitter), the "pop" is going to be much more explosive (or in other words, with power.)
In truth, the distance between your young hitter's front toe down position and back hand position at the trigger is the definition of "separation".
Now, does your young hitter separate? Or could he or she use a Rubber Band?
Cool analogy! But how do I teach the balance point where they are too spread out?
