IMO the middle doesn't exist other than being a rubber band. It is working only when the upper body loading pattern interfaces in time with the unloading lower body. Learning to work the middle is learning to load the shoulders late in the sequence as the hips rotate into foot plant and turn left

As to the float.... I have an avi file of my son hitting a long toss HR that corresponds with this youtube clip

Quicktime shows his barrel loaded outside his helmet to about 4 inches from toe touch. His barrel is in the 45 launch slot at heel drop.

The transition of the barrel is "the float". It is never static or dead starting.
