That said and done. Yeah, blackout happens once in a while. Overzealous anticipation of results seems to be the cause for me.
I would train the pivot first as Homer suggests. This will allow the hands the path it needs to the ball or low point of the swing, if you like to take the ball out of the equation.
Use one of those long rubber tees at a driving range and close your eyes and listen for the hit- it makes a very clear twap sound. I’d practice that and have the hands control the pivot without a thought of the ball. Close eyes and Listen Listen Listen.

What exactly does it mean for the 'hands to control the pivot'?

Imagine this...
You are talking to someone face to face, then another person walks up to you 90 degrees from the right and says "hi" with an outstretched LEFT hand to shake yours.
However, you are lazy and do not want to realign your entire body to face this new person, so you just take control of your LEFT hand, aim it at the other person's LEFT hand and shake it.
You have aimed your hands at a location and look how your shoulders, hips, knees and feet pivot the necessary amount for the hands to do their desired thing?

Basically it means that while the pivot may have a role in moving the club, arms and hands, it does so as the needs of the hands dictate. Non-golfing example - drop a pencil on the floor and pick it up. Your body does a lot of work here (unless you have some particuarly bizarre method of picking up pencils!), but it is 'at the command of' the hands - your focus is most likely on moving your hands to the pencil. In golf, the equivalent is your focus being on moving you hands up and down the plane and to your impact position (at the right speed to maintain lag pressure I guess) - that doesn't mean you're necessarily using an 'armsy' stroke, any more than you were only using your hands when you bent down to pick up the pencil - the pivot is involved, but in a supporting role to the hands. Pivot-controlled hands (on the other hand ) is when you focus on pivot components in the hope that they will get the hands or club into the right place at impact e.g. initiate the downswing by turning your hips back towards the target and just hold on.
