Carl,
(1) I wear the Mac David short sleeve mock and full length tights. Is the UnderArmour similar ? Mac David also has a long sleeve, but I dont know how tight it is and you have to order it on-line. The UnderArmour is readily available, so I think I will give it a try.
(2) I have only now posted because I forgot about this forum and that I was a member. Too busy with Eteamz, NFHS and McGriffs. McGriffs has drifted so far off track and Eteamz has slowed down so much that I went searching for other forums. I have many posts on those discussion boards, but I will be spending more time here now.
(a) I also found a comfort zone with my Indicator, and using it is quite doable. But I think the stance would feel better without it, so you had the same feeling and anchoring in both hands. But I am not ready to give up my security blanket.
(b) Maybe a better description would be that I started bending my knees a little more. At first I was fairly straight legged which pointed my head down. I could feel that my neck was going to start getting fatigued from straining to see straight ahead. Moving the stress from my legs to my neck seemed like it would be defeating the purpose. So what I did was experiment with different amounts of knee bend. Bending the knees, of course, causes the rear end to drop.
I had a game today on the bases. What I did was practice getting into the stance on every pitch. I feel like Ive ended up with about the same amount of knee bend as shown in the pictures in your article, part 2. And no neck strain.
Thanks for all the great information !
