More equipment - Gerry Davis

Has anyone else here bought the 'special' GD leg guards? I bought them last spring, and after wearing them almost an entire season, all I have to say is WOW! A GREAT set of lightweight leg guards - they have taken everything that the crappy pitchers and catchers around here can dish out and more. I love the new type hookers too - no more rusty buckles, no more nasty marks on your legs.

The real funny thing is..unconsciously, I have actually sort of adapted the GD stance too! It gets your head just about right on top of HP, and you do not have to be almost scraping the C's butt to do it - very helpful, especially in kids games! But seriously, the darn thing saves MILES on your knees,and you don't have to worry about your back at all...highly recommend you all give it a try!

If you're talking about the Davis-Wilson leg guards (with DAVIS written down the front), then yes, I've used them. No complaints, and they certainly took their share of pitches this weekend (more pitches than usual to the guards this weekend, don't know why)

I bought a used pair on Ebay for $25 in the off-season. I have used them all yesr, and I love 'em. I also use the GD stance but set my head at the top of the zone. I do agree that the GD stance locks you in and helps see the pitch with a still set of eyes all the way into the mitt.

Who can, in a nut shell, explain the GD Stance. Or is there somewhere that details it?
