I think Epstein makes too much of his "torque position", and I have previously shown that the "torque position" is something that will happen automatically with good mechanics & without having to be forced/drilled. But overall, while many instructors will agree that "rotation" is good, Epstein & Jack are the ones who articulate quite well the relationship between full XT, the "L" and rotation.

I think the question is: where would hitting be without Jack, Epstein, Lau Sr, Lau Jr, Ellis, baker, Schmidt, Kendall, et al....and maybe throw in Tom & RQL!!!
