I'm talking about pre and post,we exchange info all the time.Thats why the Epstein stuff drives us mad.We've got alot more true info and keep trying get it right.Tomorrow we might be saying something even better,I hope.
I strongly disagree with your opinion, Mark. Tilt is defined not only by tilt toward the plate, but also lateral tilt. We see this differently. My guess is we will continue to do so.

Pops,
That is great, and I think it is the beginning of a learning journey for you. Epstein isn't the end all, be all - but it is a good beginning. The more you continue to learn, the better you can make adjustments and improvements to the Epstein system. But for now, Epstein's drill work and hitting philosophy will get your daughter heading in the right direction. There are improvements you can make such as getting off the backside, having active hands in the loading process, efficient momentum transfer, scap loading, and running start to name several. Listen closely to the instruction so you understand what is being conveyed and please do not hesitate to ask questions.
Can't wait to see the before and after. Have fun and good luck!
Mike
My daughter is the best hitter on her team and has been intentionally walked because of her bat.
Thanks,
Pops
With all the information on the web, who would you suggest is closest to teaching the perfect swing for softball?
An easy way for you to understand is the same sequence as when you walk,right leg pushes off and left arm pulls.We don't try to pop our hips and pull with the same arm when we want to run faster do we?If you work in a natural motion your swing is more efficent therefor less excess movement and more power.
Dr.,
Granted, weight shifts back to the back foot while loading, but a kinetic sequence I might be familiar with involves conservation of momentum as the hips lead the way and momentum is passed up the chain. I'm not talking about running here, I'm talking about hitting - a rotational, torquing/twisting/forward by turning movement of the body as the hitter rotates while directing the knob of the bat along a curvi-linear path, with the end result being a squaring of bat and ball.
Throwing would be very similar - again, hips lead the way.

Slapper23 I learned from Carew ,Gwynn ,Candrea and others also train olyimpians and Major Leaguers.My scientific sources come from coast to coast .Just trying to figure out what Epstein Really Knows?
