GD System - Foul Balls to Undesired Spots...

[TussAgee11]

I've been working GD for a year now, and its getting to the point where I'm starting to flinch back there.

Not severely flinching, but flinching in my mind. The thought of "here it comes" on an inside pitcher with the catcher on the outside corner and the batter swinging hard at the ball.

I think I've been hit more this year then my previous 2 years of calling ball behind the plate.

So, it gets to the point of, is GD worth it? Do I comprimise calling good ball with my own safety? And furthermore, does the mental flinch conflict too much with calling good ball?

I guess we all go through stretches of just getting hit alot, but its seems this year using GD I've been hit ALOT more. And in unprotected spots. And even one protected one, that still hurts alot

GD just seems to set yourself up to get hit. I don't have much muscle or fat on my body to absorb those hits. Perhaps its back to Heel-Toe for me... even though I really think I have the capability of calling better Ball from GD, I just seem to mentally flinch too much.

Anybody else who has worked GD have remedies to this problem? Nose on the corner is just getting me hit, and I'm starting to get tired of it.

Thoughts?
