The rotational aspect is in the core. I said this already. The swing is a transfer of momentum into an object.
As far as being perfect, that’s what hitting is. When cracking a dish towel I am actually very accurate because the end of towel will go where I released or deceled the towels lead end. If your thinking is get the barrel on plane early and leave it there as long as possible. That is not what good players do. Getting the barrel on plane early is early commitment and is detrimental.
The hands should get on plane, with the barrel above the hands until it’s time to release or commit to the ball.
Notice how the core rotates back while the hips move forward in space. That’s the power source. Momentum and torque while leveraging the ground.
Like Aimee actively stretching the obliques against the hips, grandal is using momentum to stretch the obliques reactively against the hips.. If done sequentially it will be done reactively.
If you can feel this move and insert it into your swing. You will understand why the shoulders GET rotated and we are not trying to rotate them.
In all honesty. Try doing this. You will feel a ton of torque and no need to actively rotate the shoulders.
What your promoting requires perfection. I promote a swing that has built in forgiveness requiring less perfection. Get the bat in the way of the ball and swing for the fence.
How do you rotate your shoulders actively vs passively? Is someone doing it for you?
