RD, I sent this to my kids hitting instructor...former D1 BASEBALL coach, 10K hitting lessons over 30 years. I thought this response was pretty impressive.
"Interesting. Beware of doc studies. They can complicate simple things. Good article but the subjects are strong adult hitters that can keep the head still through contact. Their core is stable through contact. They are much more able to use soft focus to tracking hard focus because their body control is at such a high auto response level. When the pitch gets faster they do not change the process. Many concentrate on facial relaxation during practice. They also have mastered the 3 parts to timing a pitch. One of my game ?'s is did you see the ball well? When the older hitters get to a certain level we do vision tests some are written and times."
Thoughts?
He acknowledges that it is a "good article". He doesn't refute the article .... which would be foolish on his part.
Instead he suggests that kids should be taught differently in terms of eye usage. I'm going to disagree with that.
