The best hitters rotate perfectly in sync, and when they make contact, their rotation is either just coming to an end, or their is a bit more rotating to do. If you rotate your hips before your torso, the elbow leads the hand, since your hands are lagging behind the rest of your body. And if your elbow leads the hand, you have to deviate elbow angle, sense the bathead isn't on the right plane(good hitters and bad hitters can be a difference of 40 degrees and more), and/or you will roll-over.
um. Every good hitter's back hip and back shoulder rotate perfectly in sync. The demonstration you did of "what not to do" was actually almost right. Neither your hips or your hands are supposed lead one another, but if anything, atleast young hitters should think of it, the hands should lead. If they think of this extreme, it will help them not drop their hands.
If your hips open and you reach full rotation before contact, it's all arms til contact.
