Lens Picker — What It Is and How to Use It
The Dink Lens Picker is a fast way to match your lens tint to real pickleball conditions. Pick your ball color and lighting, then choose the recommended ColorBoost tint for maximum contrast, faster reads, and safer eye protection.
• Outdoor Green → Green/yellow balls in sun or mixed clouds (daytime workhorse)
• Violet → Red/orange/pink balls or colored courts (indoor or outdoor)
• Natural → Any ball color in low light or under LEDs (universal indoor)
Fit help: Daytona Petite (narrow), Petite Large (small–medium), Daytona Standard (most adults).
Over-40 tip: Medium-light tints (not very dark) keep more detail visible for better spin and depth.
FAQ (optional block)
Q: Why not choose the darkest lens?
A: Very dark lenses can hide detail. Most players—especially 40+—perform better with medium-light tints tuned for contrast.
Q: What if my club uses orange or pink balls?
A: Choose Violet to make warm-tone balls “pop” against the court.
Q: What about indoor leagues under LEDs?
A: Natural preserves true color and edge detail for any ball indoors.
Performance isn’t just about seeing better—it’s about staying safe. Dink pickleball sunglasses combine impact-rated lenses with contrast-tuned tints so you can play fast and protected.
Why impact-rated?
A surprise deflection at the kitchen line can send the ball—or a paddle—toward your face. Impact-rated lenses are engineered to resist high-speed hits and debris, giving you crucial peace of mind.
See clearly while you protect your vision:
• Green: Best for green/yellow balls in sun and shade—medium-light for detail
• Violet: Best for red/orange/pink balls—stays crisp on colored courts
• Natural: Best for low light and indoor LEDs—universal clarity for all balls
Most players over 40 report better tracking with medium-light lenses, not very dark sunglasses. That’s exactly how Dink tunes our optics—more detail, better depth, and full-time UV protection.
Add a secure, wraparound fit and anti-fog ventilation, and you’ve got a performance safety system built for pickleball speed.
