Greg,
I also went to the double wide stance last summer. I really like it. I saw a few guys using in MLB and thought I'd try it. It keeps me high enough to see the pitch, but I'm also inside (a good 12-20") of the catcher.
I have found that being inside helps me to see the pitch a lot better and you are never in the catcher's way on any play.
Thanks
David

For width, put the right foot at about the center of the plate (I go a bit wider). Put the left foot about double shoulder width away (again, I go a bit wider).
If you can't see in this position, stay higher.

In the heel-toe position that you described ,Bob, should your back leg(right leg for a right handed batter) be stiff, or should it be bent, or should you choose the stance that is most comfortable?
Thanks,
