Just my two cents, but I also do not have a good opinion of Epstein on some of his teachings. Many in the Elite softball field that I'm around have the same feelings. I would say I follow Slaught , but have read many of the above. I know he has a big following on the baseball side, but many of the Ted Williams fans that studied Ted, disagree with Mike . I think you must pick and choice from all of them and take what is best. Epstein is changing because he had the minority few on some of his teachings.
