I do maintain arms length behind the catcher. I don't know where you got the idea that I wasn't. I mentioned I moved closer to the catcher in the OP, but I did not mention how close I got.

Gerry Davis describes his system as requiring at least four to six feet distance behind the catcher and utilizing a "wrestling stance."

I am using the GD system, just not the prescribed stance that is most seen with it (blanced). I use heel toe. It does not mean I am not using GD system. I see every pitch the same way, I am locked in to the same head height every pitch, I have distance between me and catcher.

No, you are not using the GD System. You aren't even using enough of the original (From a Gerry Davis clinic in 2002: feet squared, hands on knees, four to six feet behind the catcher, higher head set) to be considered a variation of a GD stance.
You can use whatever stance and positioning you want. It's just that when you claim to be using the GD and then describe something alien to it, you are confusing.
