Jack,

I think that you have done a great job describing the swing mechanics and answering all tough questions on the board. Generally, Epstein diverts most questions that directly asks him to describe the mechanics of the swing, arguing that simplicity is fastest way to success, which I believe is a cheap way of saying "I don't know;" however, recently, I think that Epstein has provided more insight into his philosophy.

Could you please describe the main difference between your approach and his OR do you disfavor any technique that Epstein advocates and why?

I think many of us are interested in your answer and then maybe Epstein will go out on a limb and defend his techniques after learning of your response.

Jack (and Mike), I hope that my request is appropriate, but I think this is what the readers want and would assist them in making their decision.
