🧠 1. How Lens Tint Affects Ball & Spin Visibility

Studies and gamer feedback show that red/rose/amber tints improve ball contrast—especially against green or blue courts—and reveal subtle spin cues.

• Polarized lenses cut glare but may reduce depth perception.

• Neutral grey tints maintain color accuracy.

• Mirror coatings like in our “Blackout” styles give extra glare protection without distortion.
