Many people say that being cross-dominant is an advantage in sports like golf and baseball. When you are swinging a golf club if you are cross-dominant it is easier to keep your dominant eye on the ball and when you’re at bat in baseball your dominant eye is closer to the pitcher. Having your dominant eye closer to the target allows it to stay still and focused, giving your eyes extra time to zone in on the exact location of the ball.
On the other hand being same-side dominant is a plus in many target sports such as tennis, bowling, shuffle board, archery or rifle.
A really great thing about sports vision training is how having knowledge of what to do with your eyes and how to position yourself during play can allow you to be successful in your sport no matter what your eye dominancy says.
Please feel to write in any questions you may have about your dominance or how you can use it to your advantage in any sport.
