Hi Tom

I think it takes a lot of nerve for you to use this site for giving a ringing endorsement (more like a buy order) of someone who would not even allow an opposing view on his own discussion board. Try going to his site and have an open “Epstein vs Mankin” discussion.

In Mike’s videos, he does a good job teaching rotational lower-body mechanics. But far from your description, the transfer mechanics shown in his video is based on linear principles. Plus, he told me in person that the hands should go straight to the ball and not circular as I demonstrated to him. There is no mention of any mechanic even close to THT in either video.

Tom, you gave your opinion and I gave mine. If you (or anyone else) wish to discuss this matter further, please e-mail me.
