Quote by Mike Epstein which applies to almost everything I feel to be absolutes in hitting we have discussed and illustrated here recently.
Start Quote by Mike Epstein:
1. Turn
2. Torque
3. Tilt
4. Tuck
“Turn” is the counter-rotational move all productive hitters must make.
“Torque” is the separation of the upper and lower torsos (“winding the rubber band).
“Tilt” allows the body to assume a position of being able to match swing plane to pitch plane.
“Tuck” is the correct slotting of the rear elbow at swing launch.
