In today's session, we explain why it is essential to keep your head still while hitting the ball and give a simple and effective method of achieving this simple, yet unnatural lack of movement
There are two main types of focus that the eyes use when tracking a tennis ball: accommodation and convergence.
Accommodation is the ability of the eyes to change the shape of the lens in order to focus on objects at different distances. This is particularly important when tracking a tennis ball, as the ball is constantly changing its distance from the player's eyes as it travels through the air. The lens of the eye changes shape to adjust the focus of the image on the retina, allowing the player to see the ball clearly.
Convergence is the ability of the eyes to turn inward as the ball moves closer, so that both eyes are pointed at the same point on the ball. This helps the player maintain binocular vision and depth perception, allowing them to accurately judge the ball's distance and trajectory.
In terms of anatomy, the eyes are composed of several parts that work together to help the player track the ball. The cornea and lens are responsible for refracting light and focusing the image on the retina. The retina contains specialized cells called photoreceptors that detect light and send signals to the brain via the optic nerve. The eye muscles, including the extraocular muscles, control the movement of the eye and allow the player to track the ball smoothly.
From a physics perspective, the eyes must take into account the ball's speed, trajectory, and spin in order to accurately track its movement. For example, a high spin rate will cause the ball to curve in the air, making it more difficult to predict its path. The player must also account for the ball's velocity, which will determine how quickly it moves across the visual field, and its trajectory, which will determine how high or low it appears in the sky.
Overall, the eyes play a crucial role in a high-level tennis player's ability to track and hit the ball. By using accommodation and convergence to adjust their focus, and taking into account the physics of the ball's movement, players are able to maintain visual contact with the ball and make accurate shots.

THANK YOU for this reminder! I don't play tennis anymore, but like the many similar skills, this will translate into my pickleball game.
Your previous tip on watching the ball totally let me feel that peaceful feeling of seeing the ball slow down (mind speeding up). It works wonders in matches.
Brilliant. So interesting and really makes sense
Another fascinating video. So clever.
I can't wait to try this
Thanks. Great video and I love your books
Excellent idea!
Brilliant. Very interesting
Very innovative. And interesting
You are a genius sir.
Okay, I have to admit this was pretty awesome! My kid started to “watch the ball” especially on the BH with great results. But sounds like it’s not the “watching part” rather, stabilizing the head…. Thanks!
Great tip. No matter how much I tell myself to keep my head still, I move it too soon to see the results of my stroke.
Terrific analysis and tip, as always. The best coach on the net.
how is this any different than trying to see the ball at contact through the back of the strings? is this just an alternative, or are you refining your earlier--what I though was excellent--tip?
Honestly. One idea works for some people and the other for others.
If I was on court with the player I would know immediately what to suggest.
But on RUclips I'm blind. 😉 I can't see the viewers.
So I try to give many different suggestions for the same problem.
Does that make sense?
I tried this out today on slow ball feeds. I focused on "watching the elbow come through" after contact.
For some reason, balls were sailing long. More power but balls flying 5 feet long. 🤔
One handed backhand and elbow doesn't work... Right?
How about some drill ?
Please recommend some gud books in a video
But then why is Djokovic's gaze further ahead than Federer's? Because Djokovic head turned with the body? But doesn't that mean Federer's head didn't turn with the body, i.e. the body turned independently of the head, which is akin to the head turning independently of the body.
Eye dominance plays a big role in head positioning at contact. If your right eye dominant and right handed you watch down the court more at contact on forehead. Whereas on the backhand you can be more with the ball at contact.
Confused. You say moving the head independently of the body leads to a blurred perception of the ball but when you keep your head still, it’s moving independently of the rotating body!
It’s not really still. It’s moving more with the body then it is independently. So that’s why you get better focus
