I find that I am extremely comfortable using every part of the spread heel-toe, with head at top of the zone, and nose on the batter's box line (places ear on the black), looking across the zone past the catcher, but adding the locked hands on knees. I don't drop to that set until the pitcher brings her hands together.

No flinching, head doesn't move, really helps track the ball all the way to the glove, takes the pressure off my legs and back. If it adds .0001 seconds to my first movement from that spot because I was locked, I'm happy with that trade-off.

Whichever part ANY sanction has issue with, well, I believe we are in a results-first business.
