“Before, the lower half of his body wasn’t leading his hands,” Mallee said this September. “When that happens, it’s tough to get a direct path to the ball, so your swing gets longer, and less accurate. So, he just kept working on leading with the lower half so that the sequence of his swing would be better, and his swing path would be better.”
Could someone with a better (ie. some) knowledge of hitting technique than me translate this into layman's terms? What exactly does he mean about the lower half leading the hands?

Your hips go through before your wrists do.
Shall we go, you and I, while we can,
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
