> 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.

You really don't know much about Epstein. His hitters don't resemble robots. They all have there own loads and style. They don't all no stride, some have strides and some don't and not all start with there hands low. He preaches let the ball get deep, in fact they have a drill for letting the ball travel. You see lean back I see tilt and staying over the back leg. You are right about one thing they do not pull with the lead shoulder. Which IMO is a good thing.

You were obviously looking at his teaching system and not finished products.
