Yet another GD thread!

[bellsjc]

Tim, need to ask another 2 question. I usually work the heal/toe in the slot of course. I did a high quality varsity game a few weeks ago and decided to put a bit more distance between me and the catcher. For some reason it seemed like I had a much better view of the pitches that game. I assumed it was because of the modified GD approach. Last night, I had a low quality Babe Ruth game so I decided to give the GD stance a try. First, where in heavens name do you put your hands? I felt weary of placing them on my knees for fear of getting them smashed by an arrent pitch or foul. I know sandwiching my fingers between the ball and my shin gaurds would hurt far more than just getting hit by the ball. Secondly, I am only 5'5" tall or should I say 5'5" short. I couldn't get completely comfortable because I felt that I was standing to upright. I noticed also that I had a bit more difficulty with the pitches high in the strike zone. Using the heal/toe, my eyes were at the top of the strike zone. Using the GD my eyes were way up high. How do you adjust? Any suggestions?
