I suggest to begin by just learning to rotate your hips without using your hand to get an idea. Once you masters rotating your hips try making swings by rotating your hips and instantly after rotating the hips leading the bottom hand to the ball. Remember to direct your hand to the ball right after beginning to rotate the hips. I learn it like this and hope it helps you.

One drill that I have found to be quite effective is to use a T
Place the bat in the croock of the elbows behind the players back, position the T high enough to hit a ball with the bat as he rotates the hips. Make sure the back knee is bent and doesnt straighten when doing this drill.
