Vertical Sweep Smooth Pursuit Drill
Use the Vertical sweep path for short smooth pursuit practice.
Vertical Sweep mirrors the simplicity of Horizontal Sweep but changes the direction of travel for straightforward up-down tracking.
Start with a comfortable speed and a medium target size, then raise difficulty only when you can stay on the target cleanly.
How to use Smooth Pursuit
- Keep your head still and let your eyes do the work.
- Track the ball as smoothly as you can instead of jumping ahead of it.
- Use predictable paths for steady tracking. Use random paths or hard turns when you want more target-search work.
Smooth Pursuit helps train steady tracking, moving-target focus, and controlled eye movement across more of your usable range. Predictable paths build rhythm and control. Random paths and hard turns add more visual search and reaction demand.
