Most amateur fields do not support the GD Stance.
I have been using the Gerry Davis System / Stance for several years now, and love it.
What I hate, is that most fields don't provide the proper soil support we need to stand in the exact same two places on every pitch. (One place for right'ies, one place for left'ies)
The majority of the fields out here are very dry and sandy. After a couple of innings, I find my self standing in two holes. Especially for my right foot on right handed batter's, and my left foot for left handed batters (those are the feet I push off with for each batter). I seem to spend most of the later innings doing land excavation to keep myself from working from a pit like the Catchers.
It is so nice when I work one of the fields that has the Pro Style dirt. Nice and firm. Proper moisture content. You could work 18 innings, and hardly notice you were ever there.
Oh well, you can tell it's getting to the end of my season. Three more weeks, and the little things are starting to get to me.
