FAQ
Is amber or copper better for reading greens?
Amber and copper occupy the same contrast-enhancing family, but copper (a slightly warmer, richer tint) offers better depth perception in variable afternoon sun, while amber works best in low-light early rounds. Most experienced golfers prefer a copper-brown lens for its ability to sharpen the green’s contour while keeping the sky neutral — you see the break, not the brightness.
Should I wear polarized lenses if I play near water hazards?
Yes — polarization excels at killing the blinding glare off ponds, creeks, and even wet fairway grass. If your home course has multiple water crossings or you play on damp mornings, polarized lenses reduce squinting and let you focus on the shot instead of the flash. On dry, hard-packed courses with subtle sloping greens, some players prefer non-polarized to preserve every light bounce off the putting surface.
What is the best lens color for overcast or cloudy golf days?
On overcast rounds, a rose or light amber lens performs best because it raises contrast without lowering visible light too much. Dark gray or heavily mirrored lenses can make the course feel flat and dim on gray days. The goal is to keep the ball visible against a muted sky — rose-based tints add warmth and separation without the heavy dimming you get from a dark green or gray lens.
