[Golf] Crisp white balls and the contours of the turf! Sunglasses with Japanese-made lenses that let you track what you want to see

The moment you hit your tee shot, imagine being able to follow the white ball all the way as it soars into the blue sky. Or when you step onto the green, imagine the condition of the turf and its subtle undulations coming clearly into view. The more you can see, the deeper the enjoyment of golf becomes. We found sunglasses that let you “track” what you want to see.

Break-resistant polycarbonate lenses that protect your eyes for a long time

The star of these sunglasses is “WHITE-X GOLF,” a high-performance lens made in Japan and developed with golf vision in mind. Its spectral characteristics emphasize white tones, making it easier to catch differences in color and outline when a ball is set against green turf or a blue sky, while also taking into account the contours of the fairway and the grain of the green. It should make it easier to follow the trajectory of a tee shot, the roll of the ball, and even the ball’s position on the green, letting you more clearly feel the response of each shot.

Visible light transmittance is 31%. While reducing the glare of strong sunlight, it maintains enough brightness to preserve visibility for seeing the grass and the ball.

The idea is not simply to darken things, but to make what you want to see easier to see—and that applies to many outdoor situations as well. In baseball, the red seams of a baseball become easier to see, and in tennis, cycling, and hiking too, the rise and fall of the road surface and the outlines of the scenery stand out more clearly.

The lenses use lightweight, shatter-resistant polycarbonate made in Japan. With a UV-blocking rate of 99.9% or higher, and UV absorbers blended directly into the lens material itself, the UV protection continues even if the surface gets scratched. On long rounds or during outdoor sports, you should be able to stay focused on the scenery and the game without worrying about glare.

The frame is an Asian-fit design based on head data from more than 4,000 Japanese people. It fits snugly around the face and is designed to stay in place even during your swing. Made from flexible TR-90, it feels less constricting and weighs just 25 g. The nose pads can be adjusted in three steps on each side, and the temple tips can be bent by hand to fine-tune the fit around your ears. It also supports prescription lenses, so if you consult an optician, it can be used as a replacement for your everyday glasses.
