My Oh My!
Sorry Bob!
Ignorance is scary sometimes.
We have a Jim Evans Clinic the first weekend in March. I have already been told that for the first two days I MUST work heel-to-toe. On Sunday I will be "allowed" to work Davis.
Well the instructors have a little problem coming. I will not give up any cage work practice to use a stance that I will never use again.
People who don't get the "Davis System" always say the exact things that you list. They do not understand but it does not matter to them. They parrott things they have been told.
Those of us that are 5 years deep in the system and have been taught by Gerry (or his instructors) really understand it better than even professional instructors (unless it is one of the MLB guys that use the stance).
Bob, this is a review from our regional evaluator last year on my plate game:
1) "You're way to deep
2) "You're way to high
3) "You're going to get hit much more often using the stance.
4) "You shouldn't put your hands on your knees
5) "GREAT GAME, I don't think you missed a pitch."
ANYONE that thinks the hand and arm placement of the "Davis System" is either lazy or will make you subject to more injuries have never worked the stance or are just a little slow to recognize change.
I wouldn't know about "foul tips hurting" as I have never been hit by one.
