Standard mechanics have the PU trailing the batter-runner about 1/3 of the way to 1B and then moving diagonally to the 3B line, move to a holding area which will allow PU to then move back to Home for a play there. Standard mechanics cover the plays that history shows are likely to happen. Using standard mechanics all the time is one tools that allows us to work with partners that we do not necessarily know. Wanting to stay in foul territory, drifting toward 3B is not a mechanic that an experienced umpire would normally choose to use. My "vote" goes with the instructor at your clinic.
