had a district game last night, 8-1 in second. Losing catcher would not stay down. I told him he needed to get lower and stay out of my view. He could not adjust. So I did. I thought, how about trying the GD. I got about 3 feet behind catcher, spread my legs (LOL) and gave it a try. It felt weird to be that far back, but the angle was amazing. Tracking the ball seemed easier. I did not see the whole plate, but felt I saw the pitches fine. Need to work with it some more to get a better view of plate, but I liked it. I tried what must of been a version of the GD last year, but I was only 18" to 2' behind catcher. The added distance gave me a new perspective.
