I'm a little puzzled about why so many different people have made comments regarding the GD system after seeing the pix. I'm a little higher than I'd like to be, and farther away from the catcher than I thought I was. But not to the extent of the GD system. And my stance certainly isn't wide enough to conform to GD.

What you are using is very close to what I like to use.

I call a variation of the GD, Ive seen a couple of MLB guys using it and I liked their zones.

so I tried it through a summer and loved it.

In the slot, but a wide stance (gets me lower), and at least an arms length or more behind F2.

Great view of all the pitches, and as you stated, when i get blocked by F2 I can always just go a little higher in the stance!

Keep up the good work, its always a work in progress.

Thanks
David
