11 point vs center point focusing on Mark III

I'm interested in hearing from you fellow sports shooters with the new Mark III, whether you are using all 11 point focusing or are you just using the center point. On my Mark II, I always used the center point, but then I was hearing that shooters were using the 11 points with the Mark III. Which do you get the best results with?

My camera body is off getting the al servo fixed right now. Before I sent it in, I was attempting to us the 11 points, but I just wasn't happy with the results. Will it be better when it comes back - I don't know. Did you see any difference? With all the testing that went on here when the Mark III came out, I don't recall any testing with just the center point, I believe they just used the 11 points. All those tests were with one person running at the camera, what about a football situtation or any other sport?

I look forward to hearing your results and preferances.

Re: 11 point vs center point focusing on Mark III

I don't know about a Mk III but on my Mark II, shooting Motorsports for horizontal shots I use the bottom centre point, for verticals I use the extreme left centre.
