Not sure whether my shoulders/hips/legs should remain still or follow the motion of the right arm, what my wrists and hands should do etc

Someone put the lights on for me
Joe,

To get the feel of the swing...get a golf club and swing back and forth continuously without stopping, start with short strokes...then work up to pitch strokes and then finish up with full strokes while swinging back and forth without stopping, do ten to twenty swings at each level. Use your right forearm to control the swing...allow your body to respond.

As 6BMike said, get the feel of an underhand pitch motion per 10-3-B....

BTW, the beginning of the downstroke motion is down. It becomes down and out at release...the right forearm creates an up and down motion in the swing. The pivot creates the out....
