Question 1601: Is spatial cognition, in a broad sense, a gap between image and reality that should be improved before concentration?

Shohei Ohtani lost his batting feel. Eventually, when he managed to recover, what he mentioned was 'how the ball looks'.Is the bat used in practice with the back painted silver right or wrong? As you say, if you are not hitting the ball, it might be a matter of 'how you use it.' Tennis is the same. 'Amazing practice' to polish spatial cognition and concentration.

Answer

▶ The gap in spatial cognition is the 'foundation' to correct before concentration

Exactly, as you say.

If your spatial cognition is off, there is no point in talking about concentration.

The more you concentrate on the ball and try to hit it with good timing, the more the ball will fly in that misaligned direction.

It is similar to wanting to go south but concentrating on the north, which only takes you further away (related article 'There is only room to grow!'). However, is a two-tone bat with the back painted silver effective?There is only room to grow!'). However, is a two-tone bat with the back painted silver effective?

I am skeptical because the silver color might distract your concentration.

▶ The reason why the more you try to 'hit it in the center,' the less you hit it

I think you are already fine, but to add, you should not be 'conscious' of hitting it in the center of the cross-string gut (related article 'Experience that can be felt in the body as a 'response' is important').'Experience that can be felt in the body as a 'response' is important'').

When you are concentrating on the ball, the 'integration' of the senses of eyes, hands, (and ears) occurs, and it becomes natural improvement to hit the center automatically (related article 'When 'natural improvement' occurs').'When 'natural improvement' occurs'').

The more you 'consciously' try to hit the center, the less you will hit the center, which is the 'Law of Reversed Effort' (related article 'How to develop potential (in place of a New Year's greeting)').'How to develop potential (in place of a New Year's greeting)'').

If you are conscious of the center, you will not be able to see the rotation of the ball, so you will miss the timing and not hit the center.

▶ Seeing without hitting—'Amazing practice' to polish spatial cognition and concentration

As a preliminary step, as you say, practice without hitting the ball is effective.

'Base Method', 'New Way of Looking at the Ball', and 'Tennis Improvement Memo' all introduce 'practice of letting the ball go' without hitting it, because of course, it has remarkable effects (related article ' 'Amazing practice' without hitting the ball').'Amazing practice' without hitting the ball').

It is premature to get angry and say, 'That's not practice!' or 'You'll lose points!' at practice where you don't hit the ball, don't take practice swings, and don't even hold a racket'That's not practice!' or 'You'll lose points!' (laughs).

Practice without hitting is effective for both correcting spatial cognition and developing concentration.

▶ 'Just looking' at the stencil might be a promising hypothesis

Now, regarding the alternative approach you proposed of painting a stencil only in the center.

I agree that "just looking" is essential, but since I haven't tried it, I don't know if it will be effective.

The "foolproof way" to verify it is the one I introduced last time after all.

While the "bat with a different color part" you mentioned is certainly a matter of "how you use it," just like scissors, as I have stated, in the case of hitting a ball, "that doesn't matter", wouldn't you say?

If that increases your batting average, it's not even a violation of the rules (provided it's not excessive processing like painting the hitting area the same white as the ball or applying varnish to increase repulsion), so it would be used in official games from the start, and the logic is "why not just use" a two-tone bat.

※I'm not that familiar with baseball, and perhaps a silver reflective material might violate the rules, but I don't think that is the essence of the topic.

▶ Steadily marking steps of improvement with "active saving"

Now, what is a "racket where the vertical and horizontal strings only overlap in the center"?

I don't have much imagination, so it's hard to visualize (related article "Imagination is unnecessary"), but in any case, I don't think it's a good idea to suddenly increase the difficulty with short rallies.

The secret to making leaps, following the Kumon method, is "active saving" (related article ""The courage to leave some behind." There is treasure in the reserve power before giving your all").

While writing the above article, what caught my RAS (Reticular Activating System) was the article below.

Conventional wisdom is about to be overturned (related article "The mystery that the more you try to do it exactly as instructed, the less you can do it").

▶ Information gathers where it is shared — "The Law of Luck"

If it's not too much trouble, could you introduce an image of the "racket where the vertical and horizontal strings only overlap in the center"?

The more you spread luck, the more it increases (related article "I'm afraid that telling people will make my luck drop, W.A.")

Asking Tennis Zero is the same as "giving" and you yourself "receiving" the answer (related article "Charity returns in real time").

Information, after all, gathers where it is shared.

The reason why so much information is sent to TV stations is simply because they are putting out a lot of information.

There is no reason for information to be sent to an old guy who doesn't share anything (related article "Luck increases the more you 'share' it").
