I can help you with this as i'm a hitter who is learning to swing to get rid of some bad habits.

(below is paraphrased from a chuck evans video short)

take a short iron (this is me though )
stand straight up
arm 90* to your body or directly in front of you
move your arm/body 90* to the left and 90* to the right
its important to keep the arm in front of you @ 90* and standing up

---

As you get the hand of this start lowering your arm to more of an inclined plane doing the same thing. No conscious hand manipulations. Once you reach the inclined plane that the golf swing will tend to be around you'll notice that your hand is TURNING to the plane on the backswing and TURNING back to the plane after impact.

using that same short iron, start hitting one handed pitches and chips. Once you start doing that well, move to two handed full swinging shots.

Eventually you are going to be really confident and once you are, move to the driver. This was helping me SIGNIFICANTLY today.

Just remember, swings UNCOCK then ROLL. It isn't a simultaneous release like a hitter.
