Where do you focus your eyes?

I think what he means is that he's sort of "in the zone" to the point where he doesn't see the ball. He's looking at it obviously, but just not "seeing" it. It's really quite hard to explain unless you've been there.

Thank you !!! that's what I meant !!! It happens when you focus one thing that much. It's just like you are watching TV and don't hear any voices around you.

I have recently started trying to focus in front of the ball as well.  I really believe that it helps, because I've hit some of my best shots when focusing in front of instead of on the ball.  However, I have noticed that I'm not at all comfortable when trying to do this.  I stand over the ball a lot longer trying to get comfortable.  This has led to a few REALLY bad swings.

I'm going to assume I just need to practice more while focusing in front of the ball instead of on it/behind it, but has anyone else had this experience.  I guess I was being naive in thinking it wouldn't be that difficult to change.

So I tried focusing on the "ball" during my swing and it made a ton of difference, at least during this range session.

Question is: Where do you focus your eyes during your swing?

That's a ridiculously easy question to answer:  don't focus.  When you throw a ball, do you look at the ball throughout the motion?  Think of it like playing ping-pong.  If you are focusing intensely on the ball as it is traveling towards you, I guarantee you won't hit it.  Your minds eye should be on the target and the ball and ground should be blurry.  You won't be able to swing to the target effectively until you can do this well.
