What is the Best Sunglass Lens Color for Tennis?

A properly designed pair of sunglasses is one of the most essential pieces of tennis gear you can purchase. Tennis is a combination of conditioning, excellent motor skills, depth perception, and hand eye coordination. The proper tint will dramatically improve your visual component of the game.  An added benefit is eye protection.  A tennis ball, even though relatively spongy in nature, is traveling at high speed and can be devastating to the unprotected eye if an accidental blow occurs.

As sunglasses have gotten better over time, more and more tennis players wear them when they play. It was hard for tennis players to wear sunglasses on the court in the past. They became a bother because they kept falling, fogging, or were clouded by perspiration. Frame fit issues had to be solved to design the ultimate performance tennis sunglasses.  Frame features such as co-inject TCG in the temples and adjustable nose pads had to be incorporated to keep the frames in place and allow adjustability of lens angle and lens to face spacing.  Lens to face spacing is key to reducing lens fog and keeping perspiration from running down the front and back surface of the lenses.

When choosing your lenses, tint matters. The tint of the lenses will filter or diminish some colors while enhancing others.  By selecting the proper tint, such as Solar Bat’s proprietary Leverage Performance Tennis tint, the yellow ball and out-of-bounds lines will be more visible.  The tint that enhances the yellow ball will also brighten the sun when looking into the sky on the serve or returning a lob.   Leverage Performance Tennis tint solves this issue by a gray gradient in the top 30% of the lens.  The sun will not blind you and when you look back to court level your eyes will readapt to the lower light level much quicker.  A savings or 1 second on light adaptation translates to many feet on the court given the speed of travel of a tennis ball.
