Well there are a lot of negatives if you are used to Men's Mechanics. I think that the Men's and NF overall mechanics are better. But all that is a matter of tastes.

Peace
I can understand being more comfortable with the mechanice you use all the time and therefore thinking the mechanics you use are better mechanics. Since i started my career with NF/Mens, and now working womens, I am convinced the Women's Mechanics are better than Men's. Its not just the mechanics but also the training, and consistency of calling the game. I think the Women's side has done a better job of spelling out, what, when, where and how the game is to be called and there all three officials are on the same page. This also makes it better for the players and coaches. I see far more out of primary calls on the men's side than women's. Just one example is the "on the back call" from the "L". Men's call on the back from the L all the time. Women's side I will see a couple times a year and its from a less experienced official.
