General GD questions, possibly repeated.

Of the persons who have adopted the GD plate stance, and are working it as taught and intended...

Do any of you work, "lower level" 90 foot baseball? Non shavers? I ask this because it appears to a layman observer that this system would be a "bit" more dangerous for persons behind lesser skilled 14-16 year old catchers, and "wilder" pitchers.

GD looks good to me, and I am considering making this an OPTION in my association training, for persons that either want to go that way, or may benefit from the advantages of GD. However, I am concerned about the question above?

IS GD a good option for NEW umpires, or should it be reserved for upper level guys doing upper level ball?
