Stance
I use a heel toe stance and lightly place my hands on my thighs, slightly above my knees. Gerry Davis uses this technique and teaches this lock-in method at his camps. I work a wide stance, sit down slightly prior to the pitch and work with chin paralel with the top of the catchers helmet.
With only my knees bending slightly I have less soreness and am able to obtain a consistant head height. My hands are exposed more than I would prefer, but I feel safe at the high school level and above.
