The second camp was this past weekend in Phoenix, AZ. Between the two camps, I got exactly opposite feedback on my plate work. One said I was setting too low, another thought I was too high, and the third commented that my set position was erratic and inconsistent for LH batters, while great for RH batters.

How should I balance this feedback out to improve my game? Should I get a third/fourth opinion at the next camp, ask my primary assignor, or ask some of my partners who are active NCAA officials for a courtesy evaluation?
Is it possible that you overcorrected? Perhaps both were right.
