A tip I got years ago, I still use. On an obvious ball you really don't have to call it. When it's close but still considerably out say ball loud enough for catcher, batter and anyone close to hear. When it is real close say BALL as in "I'm sure of it". I don't explain where they were, but you can tell by the loudness of the call how close it was. And as I mentioned earlier, I will explain them to the catcher if he asks, but not to the bench.
