Tite is not just another brand of sunglasses. Their golf-specific models offer performance enhancing lens technology and stylish lightweight frames that offer all day comfort.
They have the philosophy that “You don’t just see the course, you read it” and for longtime players that is instantly understood. Their patent-pending lens technology aims to boost the wear’s vision to better see subtle slopes on the greens and provide more clarity plus improved distance and depth perception.
A logical question might be don’t polarized lenses do that? Tite says polarization cuts surface glare from the sun, which is important when you are on the water, but the construction needed to polarize light also takes away details that we need on the course. Called depth cues and surface detail these are critical for reading greens and being able to judge distances.
Tite tells me rather than regular polarization their lenses specifically filter certain wavelengths of light which helps remove the visual “noise” and provide a more accurate view.
We like the Tite 03 Pro Golf model with a stylish lightweight Navigator-shaped, semi-rimless frame with a large field-of-view with a list price of MSRP $200. They have some very neat features that separates them from the crowd like the Tite-Tilt that lets you adjust the angle of the temples to fit the center of your vision during your swing and, though you needn’t, ask the temples are nonslip.
This summer is grand time to toss out those old sunglasses in the side pocket of your bag and upgrade to Tite. Don’t forget Father’s Day is next month and he’ll think of you every round wearing Tites.
