any thoughts or recomendations for anyone? what do you guys do?
thanks.
I usually like to see "pointers" point high, about shoulder height or higher. That's so that the strike mechanic can be easily seen. But I care a whole lot more (maybe a thousand times more ) about a consistent strike zone and how you position yourself in the vaious situations than I do how you indicate a strike.

Another thing I look for is how much a PU turns when he points. In the 2-man system if you are turning when you point, who is watching the ball? Hopefully the BU huh? Others may not care, but I don't like to see it. JMHO.
