Many of you probably have seen Ron Wolfords tape on this subject for pitching. I have recently employed a bit of this for hitters. The area of focus starts with the finish (belly button to pitcher, rear shoulder in front , bat around, wrist rolled over, and feet heel to toe.
The goal is to have the player understand this finish position and become aware of it. They can progress to understand that it is easier to get there if you have a negative move during the load and a good balanced leg and hip drive.
Using some stride to create momentum to uncoil the hips is good provided they understand that there is no forward movement when the turn begins.
We had a great first year with the Hands Back Hitter. It is finding its way into some D-1 summer camps. Kids that swing in the off season lead the league. http://www.swingbuster.com
