RX sunglasses for outdoor tennis

[georgiejr]

Hi. I play tennis 2-3x a week at a park. Is it advisable to get progressive or single distance lenses and what are the best lens (prefer XL lenses) to easily that yellow-green tennis ball. Would also like to be a daily sunglass wear outdoors. Looking at the Flak Jacket 2.0 or the half jacket 2.0. Which frame would be more versatile - accept the lenses of the other frame? Please advise and thank you

You could go with either frame, the flak 2.0 XL is usually more popular and just a little bit bigger. It can accommodate a higher RX as well. If polarization is not a must have for you (non-polarized is better for mot sports because polarization can diminish depth perception) I would take a look at prizm field or prizm road. Both will give you a contrast boost and will help you to track the ball while in the air. You might want to go in store and try the lenses before you order them.

I sold a pair of Prizm Golf to someone that plays tennis, and later came back saying it was a huge help. I'd say, go to your local Oakley store and try them out.
As for frames, The Flak 2.0 is probably my recommendation.
