I've been trying to get out of the habit of seeing where the ball lands. If it lands 4" behind the plate but inside, it may very well have broken over the plate. I really hate myself when I call based on landing, unless it hits the plate. I don't agree with those that call a ball just because it's caught over a foot behind. All pitches are different and a ball may very well be legal but still come in "deep" as they say here... especially if the pitch has just barely hit 6'
My rule now is always just shoulders and knees, with a width of one ball wide of the edge.
