General question: does the dominant eye theory really matter if your a full golf swing is not about HITTING a ball, but it's a full swing where the ball just happens to be on your swing path?

Hi chiantibro

Approximately 70% of the population is right-eye dominant, however another 15% are equally dominant in both eyes and can use a right-eye display. Eye dominance is not necessarily associated with left or right handedness.

I believe if you are right eye dominant then its an advantage to putt left handed.

I have an EYE DOMINATE testing tool
and a word doc if anyone wants to email me direct, I'll send out the attachment

Knowing and utilising your dominate eye is especially useful for putting.

Tool?.... An easy way to determine eye dominancy is to find a target approximately 20ft in the distance. With both eyes open, outstretch your right arm and point directly at it. Keeping your arm in the exact position close your right eye. Keep your arm in the same position and open your right eye and close the left. (alternate back and forth if you wish) The eye that is exactly in line with your finger&target is your dominate eye.
