Brian, review my February posts (i.e., "Fence Drill"), and you will notice that whenever I try to speak in favor of lower body Epstein "cues" on the forum, some people turn volatile. Honestly, I am losing patience with a site that claims to be open, yet is rather curt with people who voice the opinions of other hitting instructors. <<<

Hi Jack,

Thank you.

I was just writing because I think you both are superb individuals; yet, it seem that the Mankin-Nyman turmoil has created unnecessary complications.

Even though Mike's site is not "open," we can learn a great deal about lower body mechanics by searching through his site.

I think that if I combine both points of view meaningfully, I can create some degree of tranquility on this site.

BHL
