What do you think of pavels relax into stretch book ? He says stretching is useless but advocate holding stretches for a long time to just "relax into stretch". I'm a fan of contract relax stretching and have used it in one leged hamstring excercises with good results.

IIRC, he doesn't regard stretching as useless, just some types of it. I'm certain I recall him advocating PNF-stretching quite strongly.
