Vision Pearls are patented, scientifically-designed, colored baseball vision training aids to improve the vision and tracking skills of hitters and fielders. Each baseball has a single color (Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, or Purple) with an ideal and distinct shade and is deeply embedded into the synthetic leather cover.
The patented design includes Lines and Dots adjacent to the seams, resembles an anatomical cross-section of an eyeball, and serves two purposes.
-
The colored Lines and Dots on the pitched Vision Pearl is perceived as a “Color Blur” that is not detected by most batters until the Vision Pearl is in the Batter's Hitting Zone. This effect happens in movement drills such as live batting practice due to the moving baseball’s linear velocity, the rotational velocity, and the red seams. This same color blur phenomenon also occurs in live fielding drills where the Vision Pearl color will not be detected by most fielders until the hit Vision Pearl is almost in the fielder’s glove.
-
The Dots serve as ideal contact targets for Tee drills. The Dots help batters keep their eyes, hands and barrel of the bat on the inside part of the baseball.
Use Vision Pearls in your regular hitting and fielding drills to improve baseball players' vision skills. Vision Pearls are designed to challenge baseball players to identify the correct color on each Vision Pearl as they go through the drills. Make sure the players call out the Vision Pearl color after performing the swing, take (no swing), catch, or throw.
BENEFITS FOR ALL
BASEBALL PLAYERS
-
Quickly learn to intentionally move their head and eyes to track the Vision Pearl to ensure they see the correct color on each Vision Pearl.
-
Begin to naturally acquire high level vision skills as they consistently move their head and eyes to track the baseball into the hitting zone or fielding glove.
-
Apply these newly developed mechanical vision skills to have better game performance.
BENEFITS FOR
HITTERS
-
Naturally make the minor swing adjustments necessary to make solid contact with the baseball.
-
See the baseball better at the Pitcher’s Release Point allowing them to recognize pitch trajectory which leads to better “swing / no-swing” decision making and have better plate discipline.
-
Gain more Quality At-Bats leading to better Batting Average, On-Base and Slugging Percentages.
BENEFITS FOR
FIELDERS
-
Naturally make the necessary minor glove position adjustments to cleanly field ground balls, catch fly balls, and catch baseballs thrown to them.
-
See the baseball better as it comes off the bat to get a quicker jump on the hit baseball.
-
Make big plays and have improved defensive play-making production.
VISION PEARLS ADVANTAGES OVER HOMEMADE VERSIONS TO ASSURE SUCCESSFUL, GAME-TRANSFERABLE VISION SKILL DEVELOPMENT
-
Ideal color amount, shade, and placement
-
Color remains on the Vision Pearl cover through skill development gain (Useful Life)
-
Saves time and mess from color placement by markers, paint, or tape
-
No added weight and improper air resistance from stickers or tape
VISION PEARLS OVERALL ADVANTAGES
-
Patented, strategic color design provides Color Blur phenomenon and delays color detection until near or in hitting zone or glove
-
Colored Dots on cover panel ends and colored Lines near seams produce this Color Blur phenomenon no matter what type of fastball is thrown in live batting practice
-
Colored Dots are used as contact targets for Tee Drills
-
Color ink is heat transferred and embedded into the baseball cover to provide long-lasting durability
-
Colors are clear and distinguishable (not too dark, too light, or too close to each other)
-
Six appropriate color shades (Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple)
Our Vision Pearls are constructed with conventional baseball standards to provide the best quality possible. Vision Pearls interior are game-quality baseballs constructed with a double cushioned rubber, hard cork core, which is then wound tightly with yarn and covered with a synthetic polyurethane split-leather cover. Each Vision Pearls baseball weighs 5 – 5.25 ounces and has a size/circumference of 9 – 9.25 inches.
