What does balance in the mean?

NO ones bitting so here it goes,,

Balance has to do with initiation of the swing, or the launch position.

You didn't push forward off the back foot and you didn't just rush to hit against the frontside.

When a hitter talks about balance they are talking about initiating their swing with rotation. There is no pushing forward or rushing to the frontside. Rotation happens between the feet using both legs instead of one in the push and/or hit against the frontside swing.

We could talk more about balance and it's place in hitting, if you like.
