Overview

Are You Being Taught To:

"Keep your front elbow down"
"Keep the barrel above the ball"
"Don't Dip the back shoulder"
"Hit the top half of the ball"
"Keep your head down"
"Swing down for back spin"

Then why are the most productive hitters in the game not doing this?

Because they utilize the core mechanics found in Rotational Hitting to elevate their game and "HIT" their potential!

You Have A Choice To Do The Same!

So, what will the hitter learn?

How to correctly match the plane of the swing to the plane of the pitch

The vital difference between "style" and "technique" and its profound effect on productive hitting

How to properly stay "inside the ball"

Time-proven mechanics that increase bat speed, hand quickness, and POWER

When to stride and when to swing

How to self-correct—"on-the-fly"

Proprietary drills designed by Mike Epstein that help insulate the hitter from prolonged slumps

The Epstein Teaching System™ is based on his nine-year Major League "firing line" playing experience, his long-standing relationship with his mentor, Ted Williams, years of study and research, conversations with some of the best hitting minds in the game, and over twenty years instructing players to help them hit their potentials.

With his unique, unrivaled teaching system, any hitter can learn the time-tested rotational mechanics of Ted and the game’s most productive hitters from me and my certified staff in an unequalled seven days! Our program is progressively taught, easy-to-learn, fun and GUARANTEED.

This applies to baseball and softball hitters of all ages from Little League and travel teams right on through college and pro ball.

Calendar openings for one-on-one personal instruction become available as players finish up and new ones begin. Please call for the latest openings and times.

"Did you know that ..."

...a baseball bat is the only retail product of significant value we purchase that comes with no directions how to use it?

..."resistance to change" and the "fear of embarrassment" are two major reasons why so many promising hitters never reach their potentials?

...that Tiger Woods TOTALLY revamped his swing in 1995 when he was golf's top-rated player? Everyone thought he was crazy! However, since his swing change, he has become even MORE dominant than before. It's interesting to note that Tiger plays for tens of millions of dollars and was willing to make adjustments and changes to get even better, yet baseball and softball parents will not even entertain the idea of change for their youngsters because they are simply "hitting?" Good hitters become great hitters with with the proper swing technique.

...pitchers are taught to stay under the hitter's swing plane?

...the major league average bat speed is 78 mph?

...you're not learning anything unless you're "uncomfortable"?

...all great ideas seem absurd at first?

...hitting incorporates BOTH linear and rotational movements?

...the hotly contested debate on whether to hit with the elbow "up" or "down" is a "style" issue—NOT a mechanics issue?

...the toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success?

...it's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere?

...the concept of "linear" hitting barely resembles what it was 25 years ago?

...standing in the front of the batters' box decreases the closing distance between pitch release and bat-ball contact? The result is making the pitcher appear much faster and giving the batter less time to react.

...you can get there from here, but you should start pretty soon?

...determining how close or far away hitters should stand in relation to the plate is dependent on how well they stay "inside" the ball?

...there is no such thing as the "perfect swing?" The perfect swing is the adjustment the hitter makes to the pitch he gets. As a result, it constantly changes!

...that incorporating "torque" (the "kinetic link") into a hitter's mechanics is the mainspring for improving bat speed?

...part of Rome was built in a day?

...there is big difference between bat "speed" and bat "quickness?" Bat speed measures bat velocity; bat quickness measures the time lapse from launch-to-contact. If a hitter has good bat quickness (major league average: .16 seconds), he will have high bat velocity. However, a hitter can have high bat velocity and NOT have good bat quickness. Torquing he body, or winding the "rubber band," is where hitters get high bat quickness.

...hitting is 50% from the neck up and very few hitters are taught the mental side of the hitting equation?

..."no stride" hitting, when taught and executed correctly, does not decrease bat speed or power?

..."no stride" hitting allows the hitter to focus on the pitch better because of less body/head movement?

..."no stride" hitting gives the hitter considerably more time to gauge a pitch?

...there are only TWO hitting techniques? A hitter either comes forward or stays back. If he weight-shifts forward (continuously moves his vertical plane forward) as he swings, he is linear. Rotational hitters also weight-shift, but once they reach the balance point in their stride, they rotate around a stationary axis as they swing. Simply, hitters that "stay back" are rotational. A hitter CANNOT stay back and be considered linear. Click here for Mike's "Collegiate Baseball News" article.

...the "rise ball" doesn't "rise?" It is used the same way a high fastball is used in baseball. Its primary purpose is to change a hitter's "eye elevation."

...there is no "proper" batting stance? It's different for each hitter and is a product of the hitter's "style"—not his technique.

...to get the "same" performance (read: production) from a wood bat that hitters get from aluminum, the wood bat should be two inches longer and two ounces heavier? Click here for Mike's "Collegiate Baseball News" article.
