Mike, I've been teaching your drills to a lot of the girls in our fastpitch league this past winter and spring. The results have been awesome!

Here's a picture of one of the girls I've been working with. She's 10 and plays for the Seymour Flames 10u travel team. This picture was taken at a tournament in La Crosse, Wisconsin last weekend. Thought you'd like to see how your method works for even young hitters!

Best Regards,

Jeff West

Mike, Meredith had her first travel team tournament this weekend and was 6 for 9 with 2 HRs and 2 doubles. Her 2 doubles hit the fence. She was hitting missiles and it was against good pitching. This is a continuation of her terrific offensive high school season! Many thanks.

Just wanted to say that personally I have always been a rotational hitter. But, for my daughter, Destiny, to see that there are others hitting the same way - and by her watching your videos - has made her a real  "powerhouse" hitter. Her batting average is off the chart for a 10yr old. Thanks for making her a believer of the rotational hitting method.

She has been asked multiple times what high school she plays for and I have to answer that she is only 10! Other college players have seen her and state that she has the "perfect swing." Thanks again.

The photo (right) of Amy is a frame from the video clip on the left. She is using a Hands Back Hitter™ at our Danbury, CT hitting camp. Notice the perfect arm placement which must occur for hitters to stay inside the ball!  
 

Hi guys - My daughter's already made contact with the ball. She just turned nine!

Her team is defending their National Championship next weekend.

P.S. LOVE your hitting methods--hope to visit a live clinic sometime soon.

Many thanks...

Brittany will adjust her personal "style" to the universal "technique" that you see in the clip as she continues to burn in her muscle memory. Whether she uses a stride or no-stride, or wherever she locates the bat position in her stance, she will always return to this position prior to launching her swing. Brittany weighs only 105 lbs., so her swing has been made "flatter" to hit lower line drives.

"It is unbelievable how much HARDER she now hits the ball. Singles are now doubles and triples to the gaps. Thanks Mike and Jake." - Rusk Ellington

"Mike & Jake,

Time does pass by quickly - sorry we haven't written you sooner to thank you and Jake for the time spent working with us at your facility in June.

In the last game of her last tournament of the summer, under international rules with a runner placed on second base, she knocked it over the 200ft fence in left field to take the lead. It was an exciting moment for her and us.

Before every game, she practices the Enforcer Drill. She says she doesn't like the fence drill, but it certainly works!!!).

We are looking forward to visiting with you again.  Attached is a recent photo of her swing.

Nicole & Ed"

Stats from her freshman season University of Louisiana (Lafayette)
This is Melissa demonstrating my "no-stride" hitting method. She is using the Swift Stik™ and hitting off a wiffle ball machine. The combination of these two hitting accessories enable the hitter to get over 200 swings in during a 50 minute session. It's the BEST for burning in "muscle memory."
 
The Louisiana - Lafayette "Ragin' Cajuns" have dominated D1 hitting over the past six years. Their coach, Michael Lotief, has been teaching the Epstein Hitting System™ over this period. Clicking on the arrow on the left will take you to their statistics pages. You should check it out.

When you see their numbers, it is not surprising why so many coaches are switching to rotational hitting mechanics and experiencing its productive benefits.

 
For those FP skeptics who do not believe rotational hitters can hit the "rise" ball....Who wouldn't want this hitter to be their daughter?
