I am trying to understand. I have you and Tee telling me you move your head height up if you move back and I have DTTB saying that your head height should not change.

Now I am confused, which one is it?

Really???

You vary your head height in the Gerry Davis stance.

I did not know that."


Now it appears you're choosing to not understand.

When I said you are not referring to the GD stance I was referring to your comment about keeping your head at the same postion as you back up. In the GD stance, you are further back and your head is higher then in the heel/toe stance. This way, contrary to your first position to Carl, one CAN see the plate better.

I'll take a page from Tee's book here. I'm done with this thread. Read Carl's dissertation at officiating.com or wait for Tee's column.
