Not seeing the ball while you are doing your superbly polished Point is just fine, until you miss a play !
I started out pointing, but when I switched to the GD System, as you are being nudged into, I changed my Strike indication to a Low Extended Fist Toward The Pitcher. I find it much easier than trying to twist and point in the wide GD Stance. Plus, my eye is never off the ball ! Also, if a pitcher is working quickly, I don't have to move my feet between pitches, which makes my look at each pitch even more consistent.
3rd Strike-Not-Caught...Indicate the strike, give the Safe signal.
I reserve the Hammer for outs.
