I'm curious whether the

Nike MaxSight stuff works as described. They seem to :
Golfer Jerry Smith was one of the first patients in Denver to be fitted for the new sports lenses. He said he wanted to be able to see the greens of the golf course more clearly when he plays. Smith said the lenses allow him to follow the ball better after he hits it. He also said that they have helped with his putting game. "You can see the breaks, the contours, and you can see which way the green's sloping, and I think it could really help the putting," Smith said. "Fifteen yards from the green, I normally couldn't see the contours, but (with the lenses) they just pop out."

I wear glasses anyway, and I haven't found any prescription sunglasses that do a very good job.

Great! You'll be able to write something up about them for the site then.

I'll look into getting some in March.

Yes, I'm definitely interested in getting a pair. i should wear glasses when i play as I can hardly see the ball outside of an 8-iron, but have never been able to get used to the look of the ball (at address), when wearing glasses.

these nike contacts have really sparked my interest though.

I'd be interested in checking these out. I have an appointment for my yearly eye exam in January, and I'll ask my optometrist about the MaxSights.

My only concern is how they would perform in changing light conditions. If you're wearing sunglasses and it gets cloudy or dark, you can take your shades off. I don't want to be futzing around with changing my contacts during a round.

I agree. I wear contacts for normal vision and sunglasses while outside. I was very interested when I saw an advertisment for these however what happens when it gets cloudy? I tried to find info on the Nike site but I couldn't find anything about whether they can be worn indoors, or in cloudy conditions.

I think they intend you to wear them mainly for your athletic activity of choice. The grey-green "golf" lenses are intended for bright sun activities. It seems like the amber would be helpful, too, and in lower light conditions.

They are a cobranded product. There's a faq about them on the Bausch and Laum site: http://www.bausch.com/us/vision/prod...xsight_faq.jsp

I just got mine in (they were on back order for a while) so far I've played a few rounds in them and I've got mixed feelings about them.

+ The vision and color really enhances the ball and greens

+ Very nice not having sunglasses to bother with

- They are only too be used on the course. NEVER drive with them on because it blocks red tones. Which means you are changing contacts before and after your round. I've worn contacts for years so that's not a huge issue, just another step needed before and after a round.

- If it's a little overcast or you play early in the morning you may notice a little problem in low light conditions.

Full review to come later

    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
