It's not natural to tell yourself to turn the front foot to rotate the front side, however it's easier for me to think rotate the whole lower front half of the body and use shoulder rotation from it to start the swing. I also think it's helpful to ignore the back side to help front side pull. When you stride and your front foot hits the ground on the toe and decide to swing does rotation need to start right then to maximize the batspeed? Also how did John Elliot get his back foot heel to lift off the ground like that?
