Not to say what you propose and what Eptein teaches is wrong. My point is it falls into the area of personal preference, as opposed to being an absolute. That is why I don't have a problem with Jack's cues in this area or Epstein's for that matter.

I think it has a lot to do with the radical fence drill he teaches. Now the torque drill: I really like it and use it all the time.

Nick,

Even with the best information swings will look different. Not 'ideal' without lots of hard work. That goes for everyone. I don't think Epstein is far off from what Jack believes, and I can show you what I mean.

Jack,

Thanks for making me think. You opened up my eyes and helped me understand the swing better.

Shawn
