Vision:
Both eyes must see the ball head-on to see it clearly in 3 dimensions. Sure, you can see the ball with your peripheral vision, but your two eyes and your nose must point straight at the ball as they are pointing now at your computer screen or the information your brain receives about the ball's flight won't be 100% accurate. With the right information your instincts cause you to swing on time, with faulty information your stroke fires at the wrong time.
It's hard to catch a ball thrown at you if your head is turned sideways to it. It's harder yet to hit a moving object with your eyes sideways to it.
Thank you, Steve.
ReplyDeleteThe back eye is the most important of the two eyes. It balances the depth of the ball coming by you.Together with the front eye a composite picture in 3 dimensions is created.
