Disconnection?

It must be a secret.

Nice answer!!!!

Keeping it simple flailing would be a form of disconnection.

My understanding is that being "connection" refers to the bat being connected to the body. "Disconnection" would be a stage of the kinetic sequencing is bypassed.
IOW, start the swing with your hips/middle (large muscles) - then like a domino effect, through torso, shoulders, arms and finally to the bat head.

For every minute you worry about "connection, rotation, disconnection, the box, etc etc etc" practice one hour hitting real baseballs ...
You are in high school, practice hitting and fielding, play catch as much as you can, get up the nerve to call the good looking girl in your 3rd hour Biology class AND don't worry about disconnection.

So, is connection and keeping the box not important?

Well, according to my math they are 1/60th as important as practicing hitting baseballs (in a cage, on a field, off a tee, with a mouse, in a box, you need to hit them Sam I am).
That's just my opinion... others can pontificate all they want about all that terminology, but I really think kids just need to hit more balls, and play more catch if they want to be better ball players.

I agree with that, but I'm asking if they are important to a quality swing. All the mumbo-jumbo on hitting has got me confused...
