I have been hit more using the Davis stance, but I will admit, I have only tried it 3 or 4 times and then with younger players. I thought it would help my back and knees with the shorter players and it did, at the expense of my arm (left mostly). I rarely get hit in the arm with older catchers (ie 13 and up). I used to put my hands behind my knees, but in the last few years I just hold them loosely together in front of my crotch and have never been hit in the hands in this position.

I have read a lot about it, and am willing to give it more chances, especially since I did appear less tired after a game and especially back and knees. I will try it in the fall with older players. Right now, I am doing tournaments and this is no time to experiment. I defintely like the fact that in the GD I am locked and it is very easy to stay that way till the ball hits the mitt.
