Hi all
I am looking for some thoughts from others with a similar challenge.
I wear glasses for long vision, so typically to watch TV or drive my car - anything over about 4-5 ft away is clearer with my glasses on. For reading and computer work I don't require them and in fact my sight is blurred close up with my glasses on.
I have not previously worn them for any sport but have lately begun to question if my TT might benefit from them - effectively, without them on I find that I cannot clearly see what the ball is doing until it is over my side of the net - but my vision of it as it approaches and makes contact with my bat is good. With glasses on (when I have tried) I benefit from a clearer view of my opponent and his impact, but it becomes blurry as I see it on to my bat.
As I have improved I have found that I look at my opponent and what they are doing more, hence this question arising again.
It will ultimately come down to trial and error but I wanted to see if anyone else has faced a similar problem and what you found to be the best compromise - when is it more important to accurately and clearly sight the ball.
Thanks
Peter
