I am suggesting *keeping* the hands low as opposed to than lowering them or raising them prematurely.

The barrel of the stick is what, 20 inches high, with the palm more or less centered. And the Blocker is about 16 inches?

In my couch, my catcher hand is about knee level, but the tip of the glove is actually somewhat below my knee.

The pads are about 12 inches wide.

Bottom line, your gloves will start out (and finish) more or less about about 4 inches above the top of the pads. ( I measured with my stick and blocker hand just to test this out) That's what I mean by low.

So no disagreement.
