Mohrt was onto something about how CTE makes one use their vision different. I believe this.
Not a lot is discussed about the different areas of your field of vision and how to use them.
I ride and at one time raced motorcycles. It does require you to use your vision differently than driving. The peripheral vision is critical in staying alive while riding. You must train yourself to see objects in your peripheral vision.
When you are mid pac in a starting grid of 25 race motorcycles all going for the same line in the first turn at the start, you can’t be looking at anything in order to see everything going on around you going into that turn. Your central vision can not be fixed on anything cause the second you do, you loose what’s going on around you in your peripheral vision, not a good thing unless you need to avoided a down rider in front of you, then it all central vision.
Also, I was taught in marital arts not to look at your opponent, but to look past them cause this way you can see any movement they make whereas looking into their eyes you can’t.
When I’m playing really well, my central vision is not on anything specific, but on a area of the table the allows my peripheral vision to see the pocket, OB, and CB all at once, the whole shot picture. Kinda how you learn to see those hidden 3D imagines.
By being able to see the whole shot picture, I found that it is easier to sense when I’m in the correct shooting position. I’ll switch to using my central vision for final checks before I stroke.
I’ve wondered if the steps in CTE somehow forces a player to use their peripheral vision more and not just rely on the central vision.
The eyes are just a sensory organ that passes light. Vision is another thing.
