Let me give you an analogy, as I've been given the designation by one of my juniors as being the king of analogies.

For those of us that remember vinyl records...
When a hitter attempts to employ the pivot for anything more than the startdown, rhythm is lost.
Imagine a record turning around and around. The inside of the record turns at the same RPM's or rate of rotation as the outside. However, the outside of the record is turning at a faster speed, because of it's distance from the center. When a hitter trys to swing and the right shoulder doesn't become a platform, the inside of the record is trying to turn faster than the outside. The record is being warped. Most hitters in this condition, hit it a mile to the right. The right arm never overtakes the line of sight to the ball.

I'll bore you with one more...
A hitter that trys to use centripetal force is like this analogy. Imagine a guy standing at the top of a hill and his truck has stopped running for the last time. He's so tired of it that he's going to push it down the hill. He can either nudge it (#4 accumulator) and let gravity do the rest (#1 accumulator), or he can push it and continue to chase it, trying to push it faster and faster. It sounds rediculous doesn't it? The hitter that wants to get just a little bit more has to be aware that the body ONLY gives the truck a nudge. The body is not an untapped reserve of power. If you continue to chase the truck, you're a closet switter that enjoys the right side of the golf course.

You may, in fact, be the king of analogies . Those were great. The truck on the hill especially clears some fog for me, personally.
