There is one major advantage to using the GD system. Your head height NEVER varies, you get the same look for every batter and every pitch. You have a consistent LOCK IN on every pitch. Therefore you are much more consistent then when you move your head for every batter depending on where the top of the strike zone is. The one major problem I see when doing softball and baseball, is the movement of the head while tracking the pitch.

The "judgment" issues you speak of are insignificant, the top of the strike zone is the top of the strike zone, and if the ball passes within that area its a strike.

Almost universally, evaluators do not like the GD. They will always say something like..."gee, you were really consistent today, and you called a great zone. But lose that crazy stance".
