🎾👁 TRY SERVING WITH ONE EYE COVERED
Sounds crazy… right?
But here’s why I sometimes have players practice serves covering their dominant eye 👇
When you remove your dominant eye, your brain is forced to:
• Track the toss more consciously
• Improve balance and body awareness
• Feel the contact point instead of “chasing” it
• Stabilize the head better through impact
Most players rely too much on vision and not enough on rhythm and proprioception.
When you limit visual input:
Your nervous system works harder.
Your focus increases.
Your mechanics often clean up naturally.
Then when you uncover the eye and serve normally…
🎯 The ball looks slower
🎯 The contact feels clearer
🎯 The toss looks more stable
It’s neurological training — not just technical training.
⚠️ Only do this in controlled practice. Start at 50% speed.
Sometimes to improve performance…
You remove something.
Have you ever trained with vision constraints? 👇
