Thanks boardmember. How about some of your thoughts on adjustment for location/speed ?
No Epstein questions ?
One thing you might consider about Epstein's so-caled deficiency in teaching weight shift/getting off the backside.
Wha if you tried the Epstein approach and you followed his directions uop to a point, so, for example, you would learn to wind the rubberband (open the front leg and hips, not "rotate" them because "Rotation" as Boardmember thinks of it here - doesn;t happen until the "GO" or what Epstein calls "drop and tilt") striding to balance at toe touch with the foot slightly open, BUT
then at that point you did not understand the Epsein description to "laterally TILT" the shoulders, but had the mstaken impression that you were supposed to TURN the shoulders like heck ?
This would cause a problem, becasue when you get to this poit and then try to ATIEVLY TURN the shoulders, this will force the weight back to front and force LUNGING.
You will then have to compensate by back side collapse/not getting off back side.
That's the problem I have seen in tose who think the Epstein approach leads to back side spin/collpse.
When he says tilt the shoulders, he means it.
tom.querry just a quick question are you a certified epstein instructor?
Boardmember, recently you have shown some clips of soriano from open side at BBF. Look at those carefully and see if you can see the tilt not turn of the shoulders.
