I bought some of these about 3 / 4 years ago. Absolutely brilliant glasses. Lenses are easy to change as well so if you want to use them on holiday with darker lenses then pick the ones you like and go for it. Plenty of YouTube videos showing you how to change them.

Good to hear, thanks! Bought them as still hoping to play golf on holiday in Spain in July. I have to cling on to some hope :LOL:

Do you know how to identify the lenses you do have ? Bought the glasses several years ago .. possibly 10! One pair has a brown polarised lense and the other pair has a gold lense in which isn’t polarised.

Bought a Garmin G80 I called customer service to make sure they had stock, guy told me they had sold 200 in the last few weeks.
He said due to bank holiday I won't get it till Wednesday, so placed order and the web site said should be delivered Tuesday.
So wait and see, I went for the Garmin as it doubles up as a GPS the present one I have is playing up.
Looked at reviews seems to be accurate with shorter irons and a difference of about 5/7 yards short with 7 iron upwards although the driver seems fairly accurate. The reviews were consistent.
I was looking at people testing it against skytrac and trackman.
Anyone got one who can give their opinion would be welcome.

I have one. The gps is like any modern gps.

The radar gives accurate club head speed and ball speed, but the carry and distance reads short by about 7 or 8 yards. I have checked it against a flightscope.

It is ok for practice for me as I am mainly interested in swing speed. If I knock 6 mph off my swing, it is easy to convince myself I am hitting it lovely, but it wouldn't get me playing well!

Your more or less confirming what the reviews said.
I got it for the net in the garden just to add a bit of interest and work on swing speed.
I hit my 7 iron 155 and if I try hitting it any further oops! So I'd expect about round about 150
Thanks for the reply ?

So if that’s your 7 iron distance what is the swing speed?? And what is your driver, does it follow the expected ?

To be quite honest swing speed is something I've never bothered about.
I've only ever been on skytrac once and only looked at carry.
I only had a five wood which I managed 180 best I'd say at a best I hit driver 210/220
If had a 6 year break from golf and just stared back was playing off 11 when I packed it in
To be honest have struggled bid time ain't getting any younger either.
Once I get the Garmin up and running I have plenty to work on?

You should be able to trace the lenses via these sites. I included the last site as they offer Oakley equivalent lenses and they may have some which Oakley have discontinued.

I've just bought some more Oakley glasses too
Got lucky on ebay, at auction
From a pga Pro, sure it was ferndown gc

Oakley flak 2.0 xl with prizm lenses
£44.03.....happy days?
 
Been through my Oakley collection... bit embarrassing have quite a few pairs! All okay frames but the lenses seem quite light apart from the gascans which are dark grey polarised.
I did not realise you could change the lenses in the razrwire which will make a difference as the current ones are gold mirrors.
Looks like new sunglasses won’t be required for years!!

I had a couple videos I have taken out on the course a few weeks ago, so I just uploaded the videos via the app and selected a coach I wanted to use. They reviewed the videos and send me back a video detailing the analysis and then a second video giving me some drills to work on.

Great value at £7.61 when it's converted from Australian dollars. And now gives me something to work on during the lock down.
