Tom,

I have pulled out the Epstein tapes recently and came back to the same point I always come back to: I don’t think the end-result swing of his pupil resembles any major league swing I have seen. Something about the front arm and the body tilt. The kids on the BB World tapes have much, much better swings. John Elliot’s swing in Jack’s tape is much, much better.

As one who has played quite a bit of golf, the rubber band concept is nothing new. Nor are the “proprietary” fence drill and 1-2-3 concept. I guess I just don’t find him that revolutionary.
