First, I don't know what "neck" vulnerabilities are supposed to be inherent with the GD. I have taken mask shots during the last 5 years while using the GD and they hurt just like they did 10 years ago. One of the first things we learn when first using the GD is the importance of "dropping" your seat. This brings the neck in alignment with the spine, reducing the stress and fatigue on your neck and shoulders.

Second, you don't need to worry about knowing where the outside corner is, because you will see the outside corner.

Third, looking down at the zone is a misnomer. You will see the bottom of the zone, and you are not looking down. While you are set up higher than possibly you have before, your perspective of the zone is relatively unchanged.

What does change when you use the GD is you will be much more consistant, relaxed, and effective. The positive effects of a rock solid lock-in and an unchanging head height cannot be fully explained or appreciated until you actually have used the system.
