When it comes to golf, there’s nothing more important than having the right kit. So Greg Smith, an instructor at East Herts Golf Club, has been checking out Polaroid’s golf sunglasses, Voyager P7125A. He’s delighted with the results.
“These Polaroid golf sunglasses have been excellent for providing me a clear view of the golf ball’s flight when I’m playing in all weather conditions,” said Greg.
“Green reading has also been made much easier as I can see the contours of the course with greater definition. These are a must for all golfers.”
Polaroid’s Voyager golf sunglasses have copper coloured lenses, which give good definition in low light, when it’s cloudy and on the average summer day.
We also have sunglasses for golf available with lavender or brown lens options, which help in bright conditions when contrasts are at their strongest.
Miss America, Teresa Scanlan in Polaroid Best Under the Sun at CES in Vegas.
We’re coming to you live from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, where Polaroid Eyewear has unveiled its newest 3D glasses technology. Polaroid’s premium 3D Vision collection offers a choice of exclusive, stylish frames that use passive circular-polarized 3D technology. They’re getting a great reaction at the show, which has attracted worldwide coverage, as the BBC and MTV are amongst those reporting on the estimated 149,000 attendees. You can see the interview with Eva below. The range that Eva talks about will be launched in the UK over the coming year.
CES is home to a host of celebrities including Justin Bieber, Derek Rodman, LL Cool J and 50 Cent. We even met Miss America 2011’s Teresa Scanlan who looks stunning in one of our Best under the sun styles!
Polaroid’s Professional 3D collection is our star focus at CES. The lenses are equipped with special coatings which improve the 3D viewing experience even further. In addition, the Professional 3D Eyewear collection offers two frames with interchangeable lenses. Each style is equipped with a pair of 3D lenses and a pair of sunglasses lenses which can be easily switched.
My name is Mark Wharton and I’m a club coach working at the Culford Sports and Tennis Centre. I’ve been playing tennis for 40 years and have never found a pair of sunglasses that work for me. Have you noticed that practically no tennis professionals wear sunglasses? Andre Agassi famously had sponsorship from a different brand, but I can’t remember him wearing sunnies when he won Wimbledon.
For me, any sports glasses need to avoid my “must not” list. That is, they MUST NOT
Be uncomfortable, irritating or a nuisance in any way
Be heavy
Steam up
Let light in from the sides/top/bottom
Interfere with my vision in any way – particularly when the frame intrudes in the periphery
and, most importantly, they must not introduce any optical defects/wobbles/spots, etc.
So you can see why I struggle to find glasses that work for me!
This morning I tried out the Polaroid Streak P7963B during a normal individual tennis lesson. Perfect morning for the test: bright, sunny, cold (no steaming up, remember) with a low sun and wet astro-turf for lots of glare. Going through the warm-up with my pupil I was aware of the glasses and then gradually I forgot about them (1 point – not irritating). After the warm-up I had to take the glasses off to remove my sweater and then I noticed how much glare there was from the wet astros (1 point – reducing glare off the court surface).
During the rest of the lesson, I hardly ever had to fiddle with the glasses to reposition them and they only steamed up a tiny bit and that went pretty quickly ( minus half a point for steaming up briefly, plus 1 for not having to reposition them every 2 minutes). At the end of the lesson playing points is the biggest test of tennis glasses – serving. When you serve you have to look almost vertically upwards. This is a perfect time for most glasses to slip, or the frames to intrude on your vision.
The Streaks were fine. I was aware of them, but I could see the ball was in the centre of the lenses as I looked up and very little light sneaked in from the edges (plus 2 points, no interference, no light sneaking in).
So, all-in-all a very successful test, 4.5 points out of 5. Crystal clear optically with just the right amount of tint. I’d definitely wear them for coaching again. Read more…
As a freelance writer and editor, I need to keep my eye on the ball, or at least the ballpoint pen. Attention to detail is crucial, both on the page and working on-screen (careers can be broken by a misplaced semi-colon), so it’s important that I look after my eyes; that means I can’t sit [...]
I’ve been working with Neil Handley; the Curator of the British Optical Association Museum at the College of Optometrists, on a book he’s written titled Cult Eyewear: The World’s Enduring Classics. It’s the first book to give an account of the world’s top eyewear brands, from the 1780s to the present day. And naturally Polaroid [...]
