I did a two-week study of the stance, and was hit with more foul balls on my hands/arms that I had in the previous four seasons.
I would NOT suggest this stance, however there are advantages.

How many games during the two week study? I started using GD system at the end of the HS season in 2004 and did about 100 plate games that summer and fall. That was my evaluation period.
A senior umpire in our association tried it for PART OF AN INNING, said he felt detached from the game and for that reason, he would recommend that it not be used by any umpire in the association.
