Interesting move by SUP, I started using the scissors two years ago and felt more balanced and comfort than any other stance.

As for injuries, if setup is not correct it could lead to knee and/or lower back issues but then again, how many times have we known or heard of fellow umpires getting hit by a tipped ball or pitch and breaking their arm(s) while being locking into the GD? In the last two years I've had more tipped balls pass by me than hit me while in the scissor stance.

But, as I say, when in Rome......

Oh, and it wasn't that long ago the SUP said that if the catcher moved, the umpire needed to slide with the catcher, awkward move if locked in and then the catcher moves?
