Absolutely nothing wrong with your preference. I just dont believe that it would be wrong for another coach/teacher/hitter to do it a different way.
Well ... and that goes back to my point that there are advantages to head-on soft-toss over side soft-toss.
Mike Candrea demonstrates a side soft-toss drill in addition to head-on soft-toss ... but it is the head-on soft-toss drill that he repeatedly places as one of his top 2 drills.
Will I do side soft-toss? ... sure, if for whatever reason I can't perform head-on soft-toss, then I'll consider side soft-toss as an option. Even here, I prefer an angled version of side soft-toss over a version where the side tosser is oriented square to the hitter ... for the same reasons as the impact on the quality of the loading pattern.
