Thanks, guys! The suggestions all sound useful, and I am going to give them all a try to see what might help most. I am sure that nothing is better than having live pitching or doing cage work, but those are not available to me to the extent that I would like.

I also appreciate the comments referring to using the GD system. I worked with that some in the fall, and hope to go to GD full time this spring. The association conducting the clinic that I attended did not want me using it, however (reminded me of Tee saying that he was going to some high level clinic where his use of GD was not going to sit well).

On top of that, they threw me the "curve ball" of wanting me to have my head aimed roughly toward F4 (for a RH batter) (20 degrees off a line from the back tip of the plate to the center of the pitcher's plate), and look toward F1 out of the corner of my eyes.

I did not fare well, in part because of these fairly radical changes from what I was used to doing. I do admit, however, that I do need to work on tracking the ball better.
