Vision Training & Ox String for Golfers & Coaches
First, you're getting your patent pending pocket-sized retractable Ox String for precision vision. That will be sent out by USPS Ground Advantage with some special surprise bonuses.
It is an incredible tool, but the real value is in combining the Ox String with neuro drills to get you the results you want in a fraction of the time as what's possible with traditional training.
Drills that will unlock the full potential of your clubs and any training that you've done up to this point.
You'll receive the very same 'tactical' vision training drills that I use for clients who need to perform at their best when lives depend on performance...that also help golfers get lightning-fast results.
- Stop missing easy putts and make pinpoint reads on the hole.
- Tame slices, hooks and even shanks and consistently hit the sweet spot on the face of your club for straighter, more powerful shots.
- Use your eyes to overcome the yips and anxiety...faster than any other method currently in use today...so you can sink those crucial putts with unshakable confidence.
- Improve consistency...especially back-9 consistency using cutting-edge, fast, and easy neurology drills.
Achieve it all in just a few minutes without changing clubs or technique!
"Mike taught me a few neuro drills that had an almost instant positve impact. It was like magic!"

I teach golf and after doing the drills, I stopped and went outside and hit a few balls and immediately noticed that my balance was tremendously improved and that I was striking the ball on the clubface in an area the size of a penny.
Previously, my usual imprint on the clubface was the size of a quarter or slightly larger." -

The quick answer is that these results are not possible with traditional golf training, but it is not only possible, but expected with the right brain and vision training.
Most training focuses on clubs, gear and technique.
Those are all important, but 80% of golf is above the neck...most people stop with psychology and 'mindset' but when we train brain skills like vision and balance, you can play better with any club you pick up and see improvement 50x-288x faster than with traditional approaches.
And when you combine neurology training with traditional training, the results are simply explosive.
The "above-the-neck" stuff is what drives (or limits) your ability to perform because it's the foundation that all skill and technique is built on.
And it's been the missing link separating golfers who make it look easy from golfers who are inconsistent or always struggle.
Just one of these drill sets has been been shown to improve pistol shooting performance up to 288 TIMES faster than either live fire or dry fire practice.
But why would a golfer care about shooting performance?
For the last decade, my focus has been on tactical vision and neurology training for elite military and law enforcement training programs as well as responsibly armed citizens. Basically how to optimize training for high stress situations where lives depend on performance.
I regularly speak at national and international instructor conferences and one of my books has been called the best book on firearms training in existence by the former commander of US Army's 19th Special Forces Group...because of how it gets better results by focusing on making the brain work better and not gear or tactics.
What I found was that shooting performance--like golf--is built on a foundation of vision, balance, and stress modulation.
And oftentimes, those 3 things act like a brake and keep us from unlocking the potential of our gear and training.
Ironically, golfers and elite shooters have several common challenges. One of the biggest is limited time.
So, I had to create vision drill sets that would optimize their brains and performance that only took a few minutes to do.
Here was the crazy part...
Lots of shooters also golf, and when my tactical students golfed after the training, they got the same dramatic improvement on the golf course as they did on the range!
With many cutting 5-10 strokes off of their game with just 5-10 minutes of drills! (most of those happen on the back 9)
Many of these were golfers who love the game, but just don't have time to get to the driving range or the course as much as they'd like. They needed something that would help them with tee shots, fairway shots, AND putting that didn't take a ton of time or gear.
This training is the answer.
I'd like to tell you about both the Ox String and vision training...
I've got a video of a presentation that I gave at a national conference to a room of more than 100 people where I walk them all through some of the drills I mentioned above.
You'll see them do assessments, some quick drills, and then re-assess and you can see just how dramatic their improvement was in real time.
You can even do the drills at home and see for yourself. It was primarly for concealed carry pistol, but you'll be able to see very quickly why it works so well for golf.
And will give you a small taste of how I can help you improve your golf game faster than ever before...
I'm Mike "Ox" Ochsner. I'm one of a handfull of neurology based speaker/author/coach/consultants in the world.
I wasn't always a neurology professional. It was kind of forced on me.
In my mid-late 30s, the consequences of 15+ concussions where I lost time caught up with me. None of my concussions were from heroic deeds. I've had more than my share of hard impacts with rocks, cement, trees, fists, and heads. And more than a lifetime of being next to people shooting .50 caliber rifles with muzzle brakes.
As a result, I had vertigo most nights for a few years, my eyes stopped tracking correctly, I had constant headaches, I went from being very athletic to falling often (and getting more concussions), reading wasn't fun anymore, my hand-eye coordination stopped working, and I had constant random pains on the left side of my body.
Life sucked and it was hard. I wasted a ton of energy "seeing," not falling, and not running into things.
I had to make a choice of whether this was my new "normal" or if I had another option.
Neurology, and specifically vision training, helped me get my life back...in less than an hour with a neurology trainer.
On a hunch, I started using some of the drills that helped me with shooters I was working with, and saw explosive results.
I was hooked.
I dove deep down the neurology rabbit hole...training with Next Level Neuro, Z-Health, Wharton Neurology, and more. Hundreds of hours of neurology continuing education...including more than 100 hours of live training this year alone!
Neurology and vision training changed my life. It took at least 10 years off the clock and allowed me to become a master level shooter with a subcompact.
In the process, I wrote a book on neurology based gun training that's been called the best firearms training book in existence and used by elite military, law enforcement, and civilian instructors and shooters. More recently, I was the co-author of the best selling book, Red Dot Mastery. My presentations at firearms instructor and neurology conferences have been called the best in 20 years, and I've had the opportunity to help thousands of shooters use neurology and vision training to unlock performance that they didn't think was possible for them.
In the process, many of these shooters were also golfers.
And, as impressive as their gains were with shooting, they were even more dramatic with golfing. In some cases, it allowed them to blast through plateaus and it gave new life to their golf game.
And I'd like to do the same for you with this training.
I've been told I don't have a dominant eye...can this help me?
People who THINK that they don't have a dominant eye are oftentimes the ones who the Ox String helps the most.
The fact is that the brain prefers one eye over the other for sighting and threat avoidance and it's the eye who's image gets processed fastest...not necessarily the clearest eye or the eye we'd like it to be. In some people, eye dominance is determined by one optic nerve being a single neuron shorter and the signal getting processed 15ms faster.
Eye dominance is contextual and can change based on which hand we're holding the gun in, whether we're holding the gun with one hand or two, whether it's a pistol or shoulder mounted weapon, and which direction we're looking/pointing.
To top it off, most eye dominance testing is only designed to show people whether they are right or left eye dominant. The brain is more complex than that and there are actually 4 types of dominance that we want to test for. The Ox String will help stabilize dominance to the right or left eye to make fast+accurate shooting much, much easier.
I already have a Brock String...will this help me?
YES! You'll find that the portable nature of the Ox String AND the greatly expanded drills will let you do things that few knew were possible with the old-school Brock String.
I have Monovision...can this help me?
Monovision is where one eye sees up close better and the other eye sees far away better. It can happen naturally, because of injury, because of contacts, or because of surgery.
Monovision promises the best of both worlds at a tremendous cost. In fact, monovision causes distortions in perception extreme enough that the FAA has a restriction on monovision for pilots.
If you have monovision contacts, I would reccomend taking them out to train on the Ox String.
If you have monovision because of an injury or surgery, then there will be benefits to getting the eyes to work together, but the close eye's perception of the string/bead will always be much clearer and crisper than the far eye's perception and you may want to work with the Ox String at further distances rather than up close.

I only have 1 eye...how can this help me?
My father in law lost an eye to cancer and my best man and friend for 30+ years lost his eye in a skiing accident when we were seniors in high school and I work with one-eyed shooters on a regular basis.
Some aspects of vision aren't an issue for one-eyed shooters, like coordination between the eyes, fusion of the images, and dominance.
The base training and Ox String on it's own won't be a great solution for one-eyed shooters, but there are several aspects of vision that we cover in the See Quicker Shoot Quicker 2.0 training that can have a dramatic impact for one-eyed-shooters.
Some of them are:
-Sensory integration (getting your eye, inner ears, and body awareness on the same page about how you're moving and which direction is straight ahead.)
-How to use the eyes to inhibit or stop flinch
-How to improve the quality of eye movements so that you can track moving targets faster and more accurately
-How to improve your ability to do fast+accurate "shifts" of the eye for ambushing the clay/bird.
-How eye movements impact residual muscle tension that can create stiffness and soreness
-Drills to improve natural point of aim
-How to expand and improve peripheral awareness and peripheral vision
How's the DIY "Build-Your-Own" Option Work?
Over the years, I've created 50+ different versions of the original Brock vision training string, and improvised solutions when nothing else is available. None of them are as fast, easy, or effective as the Retractable Ox String, but they do work and I still use them in a pinch. You're going to want these even if you get an Ox String in case you find that you need to do the drills and forgot your Ox String or don't have it with you.
In the training, you'll learn how to make your own vision training string out of whatever items you happen to have in your environment.
Once you experience the impact of the drills, you'll understand why it's so important to have a way to do the drills...even if you don't have your Ox String yet or don't have it with you.
