GD

You are simply experiencing things everyone questions:

1) If you work in the slot, higher and DEEP you will see the outside corner fine. What we see is that people that use the stance without true training set up incorrectly and never see what is there!!! Don't try to self train the stance. You will fail.

2) Same with looking "down at the zone" . . . this one I don't get . . . understand I have worked 3,800+ games and the GD stance for 5 years . . . I do not understand what "looking down" means in terms of the zone. The comment makes no sense too me but I will say this . . . calling strikes is more than seeing the "ball" . . .a real umpire reads a lot of informantion before making a call . . . if you are concernined about "looking down" do us a favor . . . go back to the traditional stance.

The GD system is for umpires that are either advanced or are open to change . . . it is silly to caompare it to a traditonal stance.
