Lonewolf,
I wouldn't be "looking" for balks. Call them if they occur. If you start "looking" then everything looks like a balk.
If you see something out of the ordinary while calling balls/strikes, then pay attention to that.
Some crew work that the BU watches from the waste up, the PU watches the feet.
Just the other day had a game where the pitcher was turning his shoulder slightly to first with man on. I never noticed from 60+ feet. Then around the 4th inning, I noticed it, watched for it and balked him. Problem fixed.
No one hooted or hollered. It just caught the eye.
