Sorry, I have just seen far too many guys missing a LOT of low pitches when they set up that high and that far back.
Move closer to the catcher and a bit lower, THEN you got a good thing going!
There is a reason the GD is NOT taught in the pro schools and camps taught by professional umpires. While it may make you "stable", it is still setting you up in a lousy position to call pitches. There are still times when "proximity" is a good thing, and the closer I can get to the plate is MUCH better for calling balls and strikes.
