What is the difference between Eye Coach and TopspinPro? Answer from Lisa Dodson:
"I see TopspinPro as a tool that helps players who don't have the feel and understanding of topspin. TopspinPro provides unlimited training to understand and practice topspin technique. The tool allows the player to feel and experience what it takes to make the ball spin forward. There is also the aspect of eye-on-the-ball to get clean hits on each ball as well as producing strokes.
Eye Coach has a broader spectrum of concentration: sight/looking at the ball, timing of each hit, potential positioning/attitude to the ball. The ball spins forward but not at any speed. Lenny's (the inventor of Eye Coach) basic purpose with Eye Coach is visualization and eye-on-the-ball and the rest is a bonus. With the Eye Coach the ball has a "fly away" effect. The ball sits on a swing arm that simulates the ball going away from you. You have to track it out and back in so the look-at-the-ball is the dominant feature"

My goal is to make tennis easier for everyone to learn and improve
"I love tennis - just like you do, and I love helping others get the same satisfaction and sense of achievement that it gives me. Everyone wants to improve their game, that's why my partner, Lenny Schloss, developed Eye Coach. Eye Coach fills a significant gap in traditional methods of learning tennis. Until now, there has been no easy way to consistently learn to keep your head still and your eye on the ball. Now there is! The Eye Coach training tool is the solution to tennis' biggest problem - hitting the ball in the middle of your racket. But there's much more. When you use Eye Coach, your whole game improves. It's like magic, but it's really the result of years of work by the foremost experts in neurological, biomechanical and motor learning. The results are both extraordinary and fast. The exercise takes just 5 minutes. It's inspiring to see players from all walks of life make dramatic improvements and be the best they can be."
