I tried it in a 9-10 game two nights ago. I used to do the knee for these games, but the last time I did that I came away with a knee bruise. I got hit in the right arm below the elbow, took one off the mask and got a bat upside my neck. I can still feel the right arm hit. Fact is you are going to get hit in this age group no matter what stance you use becaue the catchers can't catch. I had no problem seeing the plate from anywhere, even way back, because the catchers were tiny, and setting up way behind the plate also. I had a sore neck for the first inning or so until I remembered I am supposed to drop my rear, and after I started doing this my neck was in less strain.
However, I did not come away from the game with a sore back, sore knees, or sore toes (from doing the knee) so mission accomplished.
