didn't mean to sound as if shoulders started swing - shoulders only turn because of core muscles working...

I think that this is the distinction that the hitting instructor we use stresses. I believe that it is a mental cue to get the hands moving before the shoulder opens. Period. Obviously the lower half and the core are where much of the power comes from. But in no way do I believe that the hands are along for the ride. Strong forearms and hands are key. Not just for holding onto the bat.
