my knees are ok, but not the best. however, that has nothing to do with umpiring, just how i caught when i was a catcher a few years ago.
i got down very low, and had my feet a little wider than shoulder width and could almost have my butt on the ground in that position. of course thats only with no runners on, but it was not a good position to be in as it tweaks both your hip and knees a little. looking back, i shouldnt have been that low since it may cause some trouble eventually, but lots of people do/did that and they seem to be alright so maybe im just out of shape at the moment.
being in the GD stance is definitely a comfortable stance and hasnt given me any new pain, and i dont experience any of the old pains (if you could really call them pains).
