The Frame That Pro Coaches Recommend for Tournament Play

When performance matters, pro coaches don't guess—they trust proven gear. And when it comes to prescription eyewear for tournament play, one frame keeps coming up again and again: Zebra II RX.

Whether it's bright morning sun, shaded courts, or high-speed rallies, Zebra II RX has earned its place on the faces of elite players—and the recommendation of the coaches behind them.


Why Pro Coaches Recommend Zebra II RX

  • Field-Tested Clarity: Coaches demand their players see every angle. Zebra II RX lenses maximize contrast and clarity for fast-paced tracking.
  • Comfort That Doesn’t Quit: From warm-up to finals, the ergonomic frame stays light, secure, and cool.
  • Engineered for Multi-Light Conditions: Ideal for courts where shadows and sunlight blend and shift.

“I’ve coached players at every level,” says Coach Megan T., a former pro now mentoring juniors and adults. “Zebra II RX gives my players an edge in how quickly they pick up the ball.”

And with prescription sports eyewear becoming a competitive advantage, more athletes are skipping generic frames and going pro-level from day one.


Frame Performance, Built for Tournament Pressure

The Zebra II RX isn’t just clear—it’s durable and crafted to move with you, not against you. It features:

  • Anti-slip temple design for no-shift performance
  • Ultra-lightweight feel even with high-strength RX
  • Wide peripheral lens shape for full-court awareness

It’s a favorite not just among pros, but up-and-comers like Eric B. from Arizona, who said: “Once I switched to Zebra II RX, my court awareness and reaction time noticeably improved.”


Players Who Train Like Pros Wear These Too

Whether you’re prepping for a local bracket or traveling for nationals, Zebra II RX offers:

  • RX power without distortion—even for stronger prescriptions
  • Shield compatibility for switching lens tints in seconds
  • Backed by our 10-Year RX Warranty for ultimate confidence

Need a darker lens for midday matches? Add the Gray Hound RX or shield clip to your setup. Want a bolder style without glare compromise? Try the Red Shine RX.


Pro Tips From Coaches on Match Day Vision

Many coaches stress preparation, but few realize how much vision plays a role in strategy. “Anticipation depends on vision quality,” Coach Megan explains. “Without clarity, the brain can’t read your opponent’s motion early.”

That’s why players pair Zebra II RX with tools like:

And because each of these comes with our unlimited lens warranty, you can play hard without hesitation.
