Should front side mechanics be stressed for developing rotational mechanics? I've made more adjustments with my front side while developing my swing.

I. Keeping the front elbow up

A) This keeps the lead arm in plane with the swing

B) If the front elbow points to the ground, balls will be popped up weakly to the opposite field or rolled over on

II. Keeping the bottom(lead hand) at the rear shoulder while the top hand rotates around in a circular path

A) If the bottom hand stays at the rear shoulder the front shoulder will accelerate the bathead via rotation

B) In order for the bottom hand to stay at the rear shoulder the tophand must pull back creating tht naturally

The point that I am trying to make is that proper back-side mechanics can be achieved naturally by using proper front-side mechanics. I would like to hear your opinions on this issue.
