As you track with your eyes try to visualize the grass lighting on fire. Go back and forth a couple of times slowly to get the image of the line "burned" into your mind. You can even stand behind the ball and use the clubshaft to describe the plane line and pretend you are sighting a gun. Either way, it is going to take more mental energy. You may even practice on the range by switching from your practice station that has the plane lines to outside of it while going through a pre-shot routine that assists you in being able to SEE the line.

Move your eyes SLOWLY when you are looking back and forth from the ball down the plane line.

See it and Sink it by Craig Farnsworth might be a useful book. I think I browsed over it a number of years ago.

This article: "The Quiet Eye" from January 2004 Golf Digest might also be useful: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...n/ai_112104116.

I guess the other possibility is to zero in on the target and TRUST that you will respond to the target by tracing the plane line. Maybe this is something that would take more practice than what you are trying to do already. No idea, in any event, report back and best of luck.
