Reply to "getting my glove down fast enough"

Having the tip of the glove fingers near the dirt does not make it hard to move. Makes it very easy to get explosive movement from the legs. It is a cue to be down in a good ready position, rather than being too upright.

What are two of the toughest things for the MIF'er? One is the screaming grounder straight at you. That one hopper so fast there is no time to think, just react. If the glove doesn't start low, there won't be time to get down to it. The other tough one is the one that you have to go a long way to get. If the fielder is down low, he is in a good position to get an explosive push from the legs.

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
