People still do this?
I don't think the old fence drill I learned years ago with knob of bat against bellybutton and other end against fence while facing fence is a useful drill to learn a good swing. The fence drill shown by Mike Epstein with the hitter facing down the fence (starting position only) can be useful if done properly to learn when the top hand should fire. He would probably be able to do the first fence drill with not much problem since he is pulling the bat through the zone with his bottom hand already.
One other slight change that may work if what I've already suggested doesn't and that is weaken his grip (if you understand the golf grip). It's not the true fix, but it is a temporary fix that will work until you get the mechanical flaw fixed.
