That's kinda what the dude was saying . . . that your eyes have to be relaxed not to move around. So you just keep them relaxed and just kinda gaze is what he said.

It's easier to drive a car when you are focused on the road but sort of letting your subconscious (sic) mind do the work. I'm not sure that the focus can be quite that "blurry" on the ball, but I think that the swing works better in that autopilot state than it does when mechanics are in the frontal lobe.

peripheral vision
probably spelt that wrong,but you get the picture.

anyway having trained in karate as a nipper,i was taught not to stare but to use peripheral vision, as you become more aware and movement seems to be slowed.

you can easily try this if you have some sort of fan in the house.gaze to the side of the fan and the blades go slower than if you stare at them.turn on the fan first or there will be no change!

Focus on different things
A golfer can hit a nice shot with his/her eyes closed.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
