Eye Dominance in Other Sports

 | 9. January 2009 03:38 Posted by Dr. Lampert

Golf is not the only sport where optimal vision plays a huge role in success.  I have worked with many athletes in a variety of different sports on how learning to better use your visual system can give you an advantage no matter what the sport.

Over the last several weeks I have talked about how to test your eye dominancy and how to use it to your advantage on the golf course, but it can also help you a great deal with your swing in baseball or your backhand in tennis.

If you happen to be right-handed and left-eye dominant you have what is called cross-dominancy. This can be an advantage in many sports such as baseball and golf.

Check back next week for examples on how dominancy can play a roll what kind of sports you will be most successful.
