You don't say why this is important. I know this is part of the stance but don't see why it is critical, especially since standing high is supposed to make up for being back from the catcher. Some of us "altitude challenged" folks can't afford to lose any more by going to an extra-wide stance.
When I started using GD last summer, the extra-wide stance tore up adductors and hip flexors. I should have done more stretching before I started using GD. Should have but didn't. I narrowed my stance, which kept things from getting worse, but the pain didn't go away until after fall ball.
Wider is more stable but it doesn't seem that the increase in stability outweigh the loss of height.
