Just couldn't see the ball at all

[User 105]

Just got back from a hour at the range. Wanted to work a bit on my driving.

It's a bit overcast here today and low cloud cover.

I must have hit about 30 balls before I gave up. I saw where about 5-6 of them went. Most of them were reasonable strikes (sounded good and felt good), I just couldn't see em against the clouds.

One guy on the range was wearing some sunglasses, even though it wasn't sunny.

Would they make it easier to see the ball. I'd have thought it would make it harder ?

it would depend on the lense colour - I know in low light conditions , fisherman wear brown/smoky coloured lenses as they increase sensitivty .

Have a look at this guide -

theyre called polaroids and they also decrease glare naking it easier to see in low light conditions. Im an angler

I really struggle in those sort of conditions primarily at the range bit also on the course from time to time. However as a glasses wearer we don't have the same luxury of just popping a pair of sunnies on and would have to get prescription lenses

Ah , but polaroids are slightly different in that they will decrease the glare on the surface of the water to allow you to see through the top film but can still be improved by the use of different coloured lenses....so John Wilson told me !!!

I wear Oakley Polarized and they are superb in such conditions.

I remember trying a Ping V2 at Stirling and although it sounded super I couldnt see the balls so declined the purchase.

you are indeed correct mate

and homer i have the same issue ( im a glasses wearer) but i found that when i bought a new pair of prescription glasses i was able to get the second pair ( sunglasses) specially coated so they were like polaroids. they seem to work brilliantly. ( yes i went to specs savers )
