Unhappy

I just can't seem to figure out the right angle (3rd base extended or 1st base extended) for a play at the plate. I use to always go 1st base extended, but felt like a lot of the plays were coming in at a way that the catchers body would block my view of the tag.

So I switched to 3rd base extended, and BOOM! there is the catcher blocking the plate up the line and I am again blocked by him.

What is the rule of thumb on which side to use? Does it have to do with the direction of the ball coming in? Please help!
