CB, I partially agree with you. No matter the stance you use, if you do not use your eyes and follow the pitch completely into the catcher's glove, pause, and THEN call the pitch, you will be inconsistant.

What the GD system does, far and away better then any other stance or position, is to keep your head still, locked in and rock solid. Everytime, and in the same place without fail.

You will also have to get used to calling pitches that you have never been able to see before, either because you are keeping your head still, have set up in an better, more aggressive slot position, or are the proper distance from the catcher.
