GD Variation

I was taught the Box originally, but adopted it to something that ended up being GD when I finally found out what GD was. But instead of my hands on my knees, I put them behind my back. I hate the idea of getting foul tips to my fingers. Since I'm young, the fatigue factor doesn't really affect me.

Is this bad?

I use the GD stance/system, and rest my hands on my knees. Luckily,
I have never had a "foul tip" hit my hands.

I've never had a "foul tip" ever hit me at all in over 20 years of baseball. Anybody else never been hit by a "foul tip?"

Yeah, but that was when I was working with my head was too low.

I know better now.

Nah me neither. A few foul balls but never a tip.


lol!


Can someone post a decent definition of the GD? Unfamiliar with it.

I'll leave it to others who definitely know more about the GD system to answer you on this thread.

I'll post the archive / index to this forum's page 1.

http://forum.officiating.com/archive/index.php/f-2.html

From there you can EDIT, FIND {GD topics} very quickly.

Or you can read just about anything of interest.

Have a great time.
