A: Always interested in vision training software or otherwise.
Been a longtime follower of Dr. Bill Harrison and recently Dr. Toyos' Dynamic Vision Training.
Q: Obviously, there's hasn't been any software developed to help improve the hitter's guesstimation of the contact point in the last twenty feet. I do like the software that improves the eye muscles used in hitting and the hitter's overall visual acuity. If there's software available to make the hitter actually physically track the last twenty feet, I'd love to see it. What can you recommend?
A:If the hitter uses software designed to improve eye muscle skills and
efficiency(best accomplished with training on Dr. Harrison’s 3D Depth Perception and Tracking Trainer, but also enhanced by Dr. Harrison’s Eye
Speed Concentration Trainer and Ryan Harrison’s Eye Advantage software,
imho), he will have the best tracking software and vision training for
hitters that's currently available.
The 3D product gives maximum benefits if used 20-30 minutes per day for 21 days (only 10 hours out of one's life). From my experience further benefits are gained if used for 5 minutes prior to a game.As far as simulated tracking a pitch to the T, I have to agreewith Dr. Toyos that the benefits are negligible. T Drills bestserve as tools for hitting mechanics training and not visiontraining. It’s more realistic to place target zones approximately20 feet away and do dry swings while focusing on a target.Notice I didn’t say visualize, but used the word focus. I’m aproponent of visualization and imagining all five senses beingused to enhance visualization training, but this is vision trainingand it requires a physical act of focusing and working the eye muscles.Additionally, a hitter must be physically relaxed for the eye-mind-bodysystem to work effectively. The only drill that comes to mindis the use of mirrors and video to show the desired action and acomparison if they are moving too much.
