Plate mechanics- Help

[constable]

So I have some difficulty seeing the inside corner occasionally based on where the F2 sets up.

Can you guys give me some tips for working the slot to help this?

Put your nose on the corner. Then, you don't need to see it.

If you get the Gerry Davis newsletter, the letter discuss the sicssor stance I have attempt to follow the suggestions and have found myself having an easier time seeing the whole plate because it gets me in the slot a lot better than the box stance. The only issue is my legs are freaking killing me due to the stress it places on the muscles.B)

As stated put your nose on the edge of the plate. If you need to go up. If you can't see it it's a ball. When the catcher cries, tell you can't call it if can't see it.

One problem you might want to thing about is where is your front leg positioned. It should be at a near 90 degree angle (when I work the scissors I work higher than most so my leg is more at a 70 to 80 degree angle) and and the knee should be right under your shoulders and bent at 90 degrees.

I like to put both my hands on my knee or maybe a little behind it and that way I know I am in proper position. Basicly you should be able to draw a straight line from you shoulders, through your arms, down to your knee and leg and directly into the ground. If your front leg is to far in front that could be a reason for your leg problems.
