The Dual-Zone lenses feature neutral-density gray tinting in the upper zone to reduce glare while allowing for accurate distance perception. The amber-tuned color in the lower zone highlights the contours of the green for better reads of putts than with the naked eye. According to recent surveys, approximately 80 percent of golfers don’t wear eye protection on the course, and those who do typically remove their sunglasses before every shot. Following five years of research and testing, the company brings its golf lenses to market after PGA Tour, Champions Tour and LPGA Tour players performed at higher levels wearing PeakVision sunglasses. “Every good shot begins with what your eyes are able to see and communicate to the brain about the shot,” said Paul Moore, CEO of PeakVision Sport. “If this is off — meaning misinformation and miscommunication — then the shot will likely be a wayward one. PeakVision sunglasses mitigate this risk.” PeakVision eyewear also provides UV400 protection, and the Classic and Chip models are available in six finishes with interchangeable lenses. The Classic has a suggested retail price of $129, with the Chip and Shot models retailing for $149 and the Neva at $139.

Vector Launch Technology Now Available at Roger Dunn The Vector Launch Monitor is the latest device to measure the latest catch phrase in golf: launch angle. The device uses two high-speed cameras to capture a marked line on a golf ball. Once the ball is struck, one camera captures the initial impact while the other captures the ball in flight. Images from the cameras are fed to a computer monitor that displays the movement of the ball based on the marked line. The Vector Launch Monitor then uses those images to display other data such as distance, hang time and spin. Brett Massingham, an employee at the Roger Dunn Superstore in Santa Ana, has been using the Vector Launch Monitor to help customers pick drivers that fit their swing and can improve their distance off the tee. “Knowing one’s data we can recommend a driver with the appropriate loft and shaft,” Massingham said. “I rarely have seen a customer come back to me without improving on their driving distance.” Customers are encouraged to bring their drivers to the store to compare it with a different model that might be better suited to their game. Massingham said many golfers use a driver without enough loft and with a shaft that is too stiff for their swing. A golfer can sign up for a private, 30-minute fitting session with a certified club technician at most Roger Dunn stores, Massingham said. — MARCELO ARAUJO |
