• Hitting a pitched softball requires many skills, however you can’t hit what you can’t see.
• Players that possess efficient visual skills have visual confidence at the plate.
• In order to hit a pitched ball a player is required to see the location, motion, and rotation of the ball. Training the speed and efficiency of the two eyes moving together will allow the player to get her eyes on the ball.
• When fielding fly balls, line drives, grounders, the athlete uses the information from the eyes and then must react.
• Visual information will influence the athlete’s decision making on field.
• Decisions on field are based on what the athlete “sees” happening and their interpretation of the play.

Higher Ground Softball Camps

"Hi, I'm Bobby Simpson, Founder and CEO of Higher Ground Softball. I am firmly convinced that visual and mental skills separate players that have similar physical skills. The process starts with and depends upon complete and accurate collection of visual information.Vizual Edge testing and training can greatly increase the odds of success by determining a player's visual strengths and weaknesses, then help that player improve those critical skills. It's user friendly, it's cost-effective, and it works." Listen to more...

San Diego Padres

"Hi, I am Greg Riddoch. In the past, when I was the Manager of the San Diego Padres this technology was not available. Vizual Edge would have been an essential tool as part of our complete training program. I use the Vizual Edge software to illustrate visual strengths and weakness to parents and athletes as part of my hitting instruction. You can spend hundreds of dollars on equipment but unless you can see the ball and react to it properly, that bat or glove is not going to help you perform better." Listen to more...
