Delaware, March 15, 2016 (Newswire.com) - The Qball, a solid rubber reaction ball with, helps strengthen eye-hand coordination resulting in improved sports performance and athletic success. Eye-hand coordination tends to be an overlooked athletic ability, but it is an imperative component to many sports. Tennis, baseball, basketball, golf and many other sports require exact and calculated movements to achieve mastery and success. Scientists at Columbia University discovered that Babe Ruth’s legendary batting ability was partly attributed to his nearly perfect coordination of eyes, brain and muscle reactions.
Eye-hand coordination is the processing of visual information and the coordinated muscular response. While in theory it may sound quite simple, it is actually a complex neurological process, involving many areas of the brain. The cerebellum plays a crucial role in eye-hand coordination and directs muscular movement after receiving information from various brain regions. The cerebellum, while making up only 10% of the mass of the brain, contains more than 50% of the brains neurons and is a key component in movement and eye-hand coordination. Many athletes are often praised for their strength, speed, agility and endurance, with very little reference ever made to eye-hand coordination. Yet eye-hand coordination is a skill that often separates mediocre athletes from the legends of sports. Everyday without realizing it, humans engage in hundreds of tasks that utilize eye-hand coordination, from tying their shoelaces to driving a car.
The skills gained by playing with the Qball are directly translatable into sports and athletic performances. The benefits of the Qball go beyond enhanced eye-hand coordination and include improved focus, speed, depth perception and faster reaction times.

The Qball is a fun and engaging tool that can be used to enhance eye-hand coordination and athletic ability. The Qball has a slightly erratic bounce, therefore an individual never knows exactly which direction it will end up. This forces an individual to remain focused and visually engaged if they want to consistently catch the Qball, enhancing their eye-hand coordination and reaction times. The skills gained by playing with the Qball are directly translatable into sports and athletic performances. The benefits of the Qball go beyond enhanced eye-hand coordination and include improved focus, speed, depth perception and faster reaction times.
