Does it really matter?

I have seen people using 2 of the 3 that I would not consider the GD.
I have watched several MLB's finest use a similiar stance which I have adopted and love.

Its very similiar to GD except that you don't put your hands on your knees and you don't lock your elbows.

But I think the main advantage is the fact that you are away from the F2, and you are high (above F2's head)

This makes a "lot" of difference.

I have called mine a double wide because my legs are spread (not shoulder width), but its easy to use and I have had no (I repeat no) problems with my knees or back which I had for years.

Thanks
