Has anyone on here used the Mike Epstein Hitting System? I'm thinking of giving a local certified instructor a try, and was wondering what everyone on here thought about it?

Mike Epstein is the best well-known system. However, I would recommend the Tewks Hitting eBook over Epstein. I do not advise purchasing the eBook now, as you can save 150 dollars if you wait two or so weeks.
its already down to $50 dollars on the tewks hitting website. I'm seriously considering it...
Do you think its worth it to give the Epstein instructor a try?

If the eBook is only 50 dollars, then it isn't. Epstein is not a bad starting place, but it's best to start with the best mechanics, rather than use a progression. The book has a few confusing parts for people not familiar with the mechanics, but the videos do a good job explaining it, for the most part. If you have more questions, he'll generally field them. Otherwise, you can ask me, and I'll try to channel him as best I can.

I think it is. Depending upon where your are at in your journey, one on one consultation could be good. Give the guy an hour and see what happens. You can get the ebook for your own knowledge as well. Good luck.
Just finished my freshman year of high school...don't know if that helps, but thought I'd throw it out there.

I'd definitely go with the eBook then. If you learn the elite pattern, you're going to be able to handle all sorts of pitchers and velocities. Epstein does not teach the elite pattern.
bought the tewks hitting ebook and its great so far. It might take a little while to understand all the concepts he is talking about though.

If you have questions, feel free to ask me. He can be a bit vague if you're not familiar with the concepts.

I have a question for you. I have the Ebook and I understand the concept of hitting the outside pitch, what I am not sure about is how to hit the inside pitch? Since the swing is already short, is it a matter of pushing the hands longer and hitting the ball earlier? Thanks

Let's do this over PM; I think the material should be kept in house.
