I greatly appreciate what you are saying men..
However, you are missing the point. Nobody I know of uses pure FED baseball mechanics, and everyone says "Amen."
But, even though we all teach mechanics differently than FED, we have to remember that: 1. Most FED umpires don't work at it as hard as we do. 2. Most FED umpires need to be told how to do certain things in clear terms.
I mean how many of us really needed to know that you call people safe at 1B if they miss the bag as they go by? Well, there are a lot of FED guys who don't know, and won't know until it is in the FED mechanics book. Also, there are some good points to the FED manual, at least for umpires who work and study only for FED baseball.
The manual could be so much better then it is, if someone (TEE?) would start pushing for changes in what the manual has in it.
