> Jack,
> I would like to know what you think of Mike epsteins principles in hitting. He does things that are well but to me all of his hitters are robots. They all no stride which is unnessary and have there hands low. At least hes not saying let it get deep. But It looks like to me his hitters tend to lean back to much as oppose to pull with the front shoulder. I'd like to know your thoughts.
I think that mike has created a training style to try and get kids do do some basic movements and to try to simplfy the process to quickly learn this process,it may be that some of it is to acquire a swing like his from his playing days,seems designed from what youll say to lift low pitches,does he still profess the pinball theory ,I never agreed with that as it was explained.
