Dynamic Vision Training

Q: Are you interested in baseball vision training software?

A: Always interested in vision training software or any type of vision training. Been a longtime follower of Dr. Bill Harrison and recently Dr. Toyos' Dynamic Vision Training as well.

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.

His 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 agree with Dr. Toyos that the benefits are negligible. T Drills best serve as tools for hitting mechanics training and not vision training. It’s more realistic to place target zones approximately 20 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 being used to enhance visualization training, but this is vision training and it requires a physical act of focusing and working the eye muscles.

Additionally, a hitter must be physically relaxed for the eye-mind-body system to work effectively. The only drill that comes to mind is the use of mirrors and video to show the desired action and a comparison if they are moving too much.
