Vision training system and method of use
First Claim
1. A vision training system for training golfers from looking up during a golf swing, comprising:
- a motion sensor triggered by a swinging golf club;
a black out lens adapted to be in front of a golfer being trained; and
a control changing the lens from transparent to opaque when the motion sensor is triggered by a swinging golf club travelling through a sensor path of the motion sensor.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for training baseball and softball batters, to identify types of pitched balls (fast ball, curve ball, slider and changeup) and locations (strike or non-strike zone) of pitched balls in order to increase hitting accuracy A motion sensor can be triggered by the leading foot of a pitcher. The motion sensor can use cone or fan shaped sensor to detect the passage of a pitched ball from the pitcher. When the motion sensor is triggered, a signal can be sent to a black out lens that blocks the vision of a hitter being trained to identify the types and locations of the pitched balls. The training includes changing the lens from transparent to opaque at selected distances between the hitter and the pitcher. Batters can be trained to keep their eyes on the pitched balls until the ball reaches the batter. Golfers can be trained to not have to look up when their club hits the ball, where the black out lens are go opaque when the golf swing passes into the motion sensor.

5. A vision training system for training baseball and softball batters, to identify types of pitched balls and locations (strike or non-strike zone) of pitched balls in order to increase hitting accuracy, comprising:
-
a tiltable motion sensor triggered when a pitched ball is sensed by the motion sensor; a black out lens adapted to be in front of a batter being trained; and a control for changing the lens from transparent to opaque at selected distances the pitched ball travels from the release of the pitched ball to before the pitched ball reaches the batter, wherein types of pitched balls and locations of pitched balls is identified. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A vision training system for training batters to constantly follow the path of a pitched ball and prevent the batters from looking up from a batting swing, comprising:
-
a motion sensor triggered by a pitched ball; a black out lens adapted to be in front of a pitcher being trained; and a control changing the lens from transparent to opaque when the pitched ball travels through a sensor path of the motion sensor. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
