Mike Epstein Hitting

"Do We Teach What We Really See?"

Mike's DVD, "Do We Teach What We Really See?", is an exact replica of his popular VHS videotape set of the same name. The DVD replaces the videotape set.

Advantages of the DVD include:

  • The DVD is one disc (instead of two videotapes).
  • Offers improved visual clarity.
  • A menu bar (including "sub" menus) which makes it easier to go to your specific areas of choice (rather than wading through the entire videotape to find what you are looking for). For example, clicking on "Torque Drill" will take you there in an instant.
  • DVDs have supplanted videotape players in popularity.
  • Ease of laptop transportability. Take the information with you to the practice field.

Do we teach what we really see—or do we teach what we were taught? Hitting has changed dramatically over the past five years. Colleges and high schools must use “minus 3” bats (essentially a “wood” bat), which will decrease bat speed and power dramatically, lowering productivity. Horror stories of players going from aluminum to wood bats is well documented. Will this be any different for YOU or YOUR players? Instructors and players are finally able to purchase a DVD to learn how to teach and use these “wood bat” mechanics. And nobody teaches this better than Mike Epstein, one of the brilliant hitting instructors in the game today.

Nine-year major leaguer, mentored by Ted Williams, Epstein always seems to find a simple way to teach the complexities of the big league swing. With major leaguers down through amateurs, baseball and softball, Epstein has demonstrated the teaching skills necessary to execute.

And now, with this DVD, so can you!

In Part 1, frame-by-frame video points out the elusive “common thread” used by baseball’s productive hitters. “Torque” and its critical importance is clearly shown. These visual images allow you to teach/learn the hitting mechanics that produce unparalleled accelerated development.

In Part 2, Epstein demonstrates his proprietary drills which absolutely put the hitter into the same advantaged hitting positions seen in Part 1. 

Repeated viewing will help the instructor/player emulate the hitting mechanics of 95% of baseball’s Hall of Fame hitters, including every player on this year’s all-star team. Experience a new-found confidence with dramatically higher on-base and slugging percentages (OPS).

This is the first hitting DVD that takes the hitter through the actual steps of learning rotational hitting, the mechanics used by 95% of baseball's Hall of Fame hitters.To order, click here


“I’m a tough guy to please and impress, but I believe Mike articulates and clinically teaches the science of proper hitting as well as anyone I have run across in all my years in baseball.”

Ted Williams

“I’ve never seen anyone teach hitting as well as Mike. He can take any hitter and make him better. Before he’s through, Mike will be the next hitting guru with a great reputation in this game.”

Jeff Torborg
1992 AL Manager of the Year.

“Mike knows mechanics. It’s really amazing what Mike is doing today, teaching hitters how to properly “turn on the ball” and hit for increased power. And he also has that rare ability to get inside the hitter’s head... I’d love to have him on my coaching staff.”
