We have a three day Evans camp on March 3, 4, & 5.

I have been told that I will be "required" to work the stand heel-toe that is taught at school during days one and two. On Sunday I will be "allowed" to work Davis.

I guess they will ban me from the first two days as I will not work another stance.

lah Me!

Tim:

Looking forward to seeing you again in Wilsonville. I'm sure this outing will be far superior to out last experience there.

By the way, at the Desert Classic, Evans allowed a more comfortable heel/instep stance in addition to the heel/toe.

One reason he didn't allow the GD stance, I believe, was that he wanted to demonstrate to everyone that with proper positioning and proper use of the eyes (timing), one can see everything , including the outside low pitch, using the heel/toe (heel/instep) stance in the slot. His concept of seeing the pitch to the glove was different from every explanation, demonstration and personal practice I've had in the past. It was a true "aha!" moment.

We had a number of GD stance advocates, including me, at that event who, after Jim's training, went back to the heel/toe (heel/instep) stance with renewed confidence.
