SUNGLASSES FOR PLAYING GOLF

Improve your Score

Strong sunlight, frequent transitions between light and shadow, irregularities on the green, and tired eyes from prolonged exposure to the sun present numerous challenges for golfers. These can be effectively addressed by wearing sports sunglasses, or, if vision correction is needed, by opting for technical models with prescription lenses. Your main goal is to maintain focus during the game and achieve the best score possible.

What Type of Glasses and Lenses Should a Golfer Use?

The choice of frame is crucial when selecting your golf glasses:

1. Lightweight Frame: A lighter frame is always preferable. While opinions on the structure and materials may vary, the consensus is clear: lightness and comfort are essential. Common materials for golf glasses include aluminum and titanium. At DEMON, we use a special composition called TR90, which combines carbon fiber and nylon to create a frame that is 20% lighter than conventional materials. This frame is non-deformable at high and low temperatures, more resistant to impacts and mechanical stress, and ultimately more comfortable.

2. Frame Style: Personal preference plays a significant role in frame selection. Some athletes prefer closed-frame glasses (like the model LIGHT shown above), while others opt for open-frame designs.

Choosing the right glasses can enhance your performance on the golf course, ensuring that you stay focused and comfortable throughout your game.

A common situation on the golf course is intense sunlight, which makes it challenging to track the trajectory of the ball. Traditional sunglasses often fall short for golfing due to several factors:

1. Lens Performance: Standard lenses may not perform well, often darkening the view too much during play and reducing contrast.

2. Frame Design: The slightly curved frames of regular sunglasses allow light to filter in from the sides, creating a distracting sensation and making it hard to maintain full control of the game.

3. Lack of Non-Slip Features: Many common frames lack non-slip technical rubbers, causing the glasses to slip during the rotational movement of a swing.

4. Weight: Non-technical glasses tend to be heavier, which can be uncomfortable during extended play.

To address the issue of light filtering from the sides, our sports glasses for golf feature curved frames that protect athletes from lateral light without creating distortion, thanks to base 8 lenses.

The non-slip components are made from soft, hypoallergenic rubber, ensuring a secure grip without any movement, even during sudden, intense vibrations. This technology has been developed not just for golf but also for other sports, significantly enhancing comfort while maintaining a lightweight design.

What Are the Main Differences in Lenses for Playing Golf?

Following the ball and its trajectory after a shot is essential, as is maintaining a clear view of the entire field without any distortions. Distorted depth perception can lead to misjudging shots, whether hitting too long or too short.

Here are the types of lenses suitable for golfing:

1. Photochromic Lenses: These lenses undergo a reversible chemical reaction when exposed to UV radiation or sunlight, darkening in bright conditions and returning to transparency in lower light.

   • Smoke Lenses: Starting from completely transparent (Category 1), these lenses darken to Category 2.5, remaining slightly clearer at maximum activation. This feature helps the eyes adapt quickly when moving from light to shadow, allowing golfers to avoid removing their glasses when entering shaded areas. In dense forests, the lenses will be fully transparent, protecting against air and debris, such as leaves and branches. They can even be used at night for simple protection from wind.

   • DCHROM Lenses: Recommended for extremely bright and prolonged light conditions, these start with a slightly tinted base (Category 1) and darken to Category 3, similar to regular sunglasses. They are ideal for extended use without significant light-dark variations, meaning you won’t need to take them off frequently. However, they are not suitable for night play.

Below is a comparison of Photochromic Smoke and Photochromic DCHROM lenses:

INTERCHANGEABLE DCHANGE LENSES

The DCHANGE lens package includes a set of three lenses that allow you to use your golf glasses in all weather conditions—from intense sunlight to overcast days, as well as during rain and nighttime or low-light matches. The interchangeable lens set includes:

• Smoke Lens: Category 3, providing UV protection and delivering optimal performance in sunny weather and bright conditions.

• Orange Lens: Category 2, offering UV protection and reaching maximum effectiveness in cloudy weather or low-light situations.

• Transparent Lens: Category 1, also providing UV protection and excelling in rain or very low light, making it ideal for nighttime outings.

Below is an example of the lenses included in the set: smoke mirrored, orange, and transparent.

• LENS DPOL

  The polarized lens provides UV protection and offers additional benefits. This specialized lens can concentrate or diverge light rays, effectively reducing UV-A and UV-B radiation through a polarizing filter that eliminates horizontal reflections. These features make it particularly suitable for golf, as it helps reduce eye strain during prolonged use. Additionally, the lens enhances your ability to track the ball by providing high contrast and improved perception of natural colors.

  Below is an example of the polarized lens:

• CATEGORY 3 SMOKE LENS

  The Category 3 smoke lens is the same lens included in the DCHANGE package. It is especially recommended for sunny days. This type of lens is often preferred by those seeking training glasses, offering a more economical option compared to more comprehensive lens packages, while still providing the essential features needed for effective use.
