Dark grey polarized, single vision, don't think I could handle tri-focals playing.  No depth perception issues for me.

Just bought my first pair of Prescription Sunglasses and wore them a few weeks ago on annual golf trip to AZ.  Mine are polarized with dark grey lens.

Since I am far sighted,I could finally see my ball flight all the way in the sun. Definitely worth the investment and insurance paid most of cost.

As someone who's had both. Prescription sunglasses just OWN transitions. For one thing, they cover more area, so you don't end up with side glare. I just got a prescription pair of Oakley's, can't wait to try them out on the course.

I just got a pair of prescription Oakley's as well. What frame and lens tint did you get?

These, pretty much as they look. I didn't get the option to have the lenses look shiny on the outside. So they have a more matte finish. I believe they have antiglare on both the outside and inside of the lenses so I don't get glare on the inside when the sun is behind me.

I got the exact same except different lenses. They're awesome, can't wait to try them out as well.

I wear contacts when I play, so that I can take my sunglasses on and off without hindering my ability to see. :)

My sunglasses are polarized, though.

I use to have progressive prescription sun glasses but didn't like the fact while driving that I still saw glare outside the car.   I switched to regular polarized prescription glasses which are great for driving a car but I think they do affect my depth perception on the golf course.    I just wear my regular bifocal glasses.

    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
