Have you ever heard of them? The glasses blink on and off (see/cant see) at various speeds. The idea is that the fielder or hitter has less visual info making the task more difficult. When you remove the glasses the game seems to have been slowed down. Steph Curry and Joe Maurer have used them. Sounds like a great idea. Problem is they cost $350. Senaptec Strobe has training centers that have them. Going to see if I could try them out. I doubt it.

So, what would be a cheaper alternative to achieve the same or similar effect? I was thinking a fan might be involved. Or tell DD to blink as fast as she can while doing front toss. (better not hit her)LOL
