In a staggered stance, you can reach the shooter, but you are giving up an angle.
In a squared stance, you are not giving angles, but you cant reach the shooter.
So what we do, is play both.
Against shooters, we want to closeout with a staggered stop. This way we can run them off the line and force them out of their comfort zone.
Against drivers, we want to chop our feet and closeout wide. This way we can take away their driving angles and force them to shoot.
