Gerry Davis Stance for softball

[wadeintothem]

I used it pretty extensively a few weeks ago in mens FP because my catcher was very large and blocked me too much in the slot. It got to be a pain so I went to this stance and it was fine.

I dont believe "locking in" to be as important as baseball umpires sometimes make it seem to be. In fact, its not an issue in my opinion.

I dont believe low inside and outside are as good with davis as with slot with this stance FOR ME... so I prefer slot unless I'm being screened.

I do believe that because of God, Momma, and McDonalds we are all shaped a little different and have different issues and this stance could very well work best for a percentage of umpires; obviously it should be allowed in ASA as an alternate allowable stance.

This is a tool we are not allowed in ASA, which is prone to removing tools from umpires, and that is to the detriment of the organization because some use this the best; similar to a knee, etc... so allow it.
