A lot of goalies get into the bad habit of relying too much on their peripheral vision to follow the play. This makes it incredibly easy to lose the puck in traffic or misjudge the exact moment it leaves a shooter's stick. Training with Swivel Vision goggles is a simple, highly effective way to break those habits and take your tracking to the next level.

​

How Do They Work and Why Do They Help?

​

Swivel Vision goggles block out your peripheral (side) vision, forcing you to look straight ahead through the center of the lenses. By narrowing your field of view during practice, these goggles act like weight training for your eyes:

• Forces Proper Head Rotation: Because you can't see out of the corners of your eyes, you have to physically turn your head to follow the puck. This trains you to look the puck all the way into your gloves or chest, eliminating those frustrating blind spots.

• Sharpens Focus and Depth Perception: Restricting your side vision forces your brain to rely entirely on your central vision. This sharpens your focus, helping you judge the speed, angle, and distance of a shot much more accurately.

• Cuts Down Reaction Time: When you train your eyes to stay locked on the target without getting distracted by background movement, your brain processes the play faster. When you take the goggles off for game time, the puck will feel like it's moving in slow motion.

How to Use Them in Your Routine

​

You don't need to wear them during a full scrimmage to get the benefits. Swivel Vision goggles are perfect for off-ice hand-eye coordination drills, juggling, reflex balls, or light pre-game warmups. Just a few minutes of focused use builds the visual discipline needed to stay locked on the puck from the release all the way into your gear.
