Henrik Stenson is launching a performance eyewear collection

If you’ve ever seen Henrik Stenson on the golf course, you’re abundantly aware the man likes his sunglasses. Nicknamed “the Terminator,” a key part of the methodical Swede’s T-800 look are his shades.

Now, Stenson is launching his own eyewear brand designed specifically for golfers. And even better for golf fans attending the PGA Merchandise Show (Jan. 25-27), Henrik Stenson Eyewear will debut at golf’s annual equipment spectacular.

According to a press release, Stenson favors the wrap-around sunglass design due to allergies and a sensitivity to sunlight. After years of experimenting with lens types, Stenson felt he could share his knowledge with golfers.

“I know how important it is to protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses that are suited to the task,” Stenson said. “Playing golf means exposure to hazardous sunlight and reflections for hours at a time so eye protection is essential, especially for children. With this in mind, we are also developing a special performance collection designed specifically for junior players.”

“For your protection and performance” is the company’s motto, and the reigning Champion Golfer of the Year is directly involved in product development. Stenson was instrumental in development of “Powereye” — a special lens technology for performance eyewear.

The Powereye lens provides protection from both blue light and UV radiation, in addition to cutting glare and other optical interference, which helps reduce eye fatigue. And perhaps more important to golfers, the lens technology enhances contrast, making fairways and greens appear more distinctly while maintaining a natural color balance.

In addition to the Performance line for golfers, HSE is launching a “Street” collection of sunglass styles for off-course wear.

According to the company, retail sales at selected outlets will being in early 2017. Check out the newly launched Henrik Stenson Eyewear website for more information.

As long as Luxottica does not have a hand in this I will be interested to see what they come out with. My Maui Jims with the green lens are the best I could find for the course so far. Oakley has garbage quality

As a guy who likes to wear a more traditional baseball hat, not the Rickie Fowler, I’m still waiting for a eyewear manufacturers to find a way to make a pair r that are comfortable and fit under my hat.

  I know he wore them but if I recall correctly, he wasn’t sponsored by Oakley.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Buy here.

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

From the listing:
