I think you just have to get the proper feel for your own position and strike mechanic, and take your time to make your calls.
I set in my scissors position.... with both hands resting on my thigh area.... the pitch comes in, I keep my head still and read it as it crosses the plate... I wait to hear the smack in the catcher's glove... then I use the OBA mechanics they like up here....
That is, as I am still set, I firmly bark out "strike!"... then I come up out of my set position, point to the side which saying "one!"....
I do take my head away from the play, but I have never had a problem... just watch when there is a runner on 3rd.
