We have a three day Evans camp on March 3, 4, & 5.
I have been told that I will be "required" to work the stand heel-toe that is taught at school during days one and two. On Sunday I will be "allowed" to work Davis.
I guess they will ban me from the first two days as I will not work another stance.
lah Me!

Looking forward to seeing you again in Wilsonville. I'm sure this outing will be far superior to out last experience there.
By the way, at the Desert Classic, Evans allowed a more comfortable heel/instep stance in addition to the heel/toe.
One reason he didn't allow the GD stance, I believe, was that he wanted to demonstrate to everyone that with proper positioning and proper use of the eyes (timing), one can see everything , including the outside low pitch, using the heel/toe (heel/instep) stance in the slot. His concept of seeing the pitch to the glove was different from every explanation, demonstration and personal practice I've had in the past. It was a true "aha!" moment.
We had a number of GD stance advocates, including me, at that event who, after Jim's training, went back to the heel/toe (heel/instep) stance with renewed confidence.
