Hello from the Culpeper, VA.  I am Jason, who is about to turn 50 years old.  I am not fond of bright lights anymore.  Majority rounds of golf I play, I am wearing sunglasses.  The current line of sunglasses that I am wearing is Tifosi.  These have there Enliven Golf lenses.  I have had Callaway sunglasses, and there was one I had that I really enjoyed, but everyone changes things and could not find ones I could like.  I have worn Polarized and Non- Polarized sunglasses golf.  Ones that have cost some money and others where I was being careful of cost.  This is where I have settled on Tifosi and on my second pair.  

I cannot wait to start bringing my thoughts on the Sundog Sunglasses, what I like and do not like.  I will be comparing the sunglasses with the current pair I am using.  How are they reading the green, and golf course.  How well does it keep the sun off my eyes.   

It is a pleasure again to being one that gets to bring my thoughts on Sundog Sunglasses.

First Impression: 

I went out of town when they first arrived.  Was anxious to get home and get the sunglasses.

I have to say that my first impression was NOT that pleasing, considering the cost of the sunglasses.  They were just placed into the shipping box.  If I am paying $80 or more, I would not want my sunglasses just thrown in a box with a crumpled up paper on top of them.  I have boughten cheaper sunglasses that are shipped in a protective case, inside the packaging for the sunglasses, and then in the shipping box.  The first picture is what I saw inside the box.  A hybrid head cover as the protective case, not impressive.  I would NOT want to store my sunglasses in that, in my golf bag.  The sunglasses will get destroyed.  On top of it, only one, when they shipped 2 pairs of sunglasses.  This is not starting off well for Sundog Sunglasses.  I am hoping that the performance of the sunglasses are better than how they were package.  I would have shipped them back asking for a FULL refund.  There is no way I would spend that kind of money, and not get a protective case.  On $50 pairs, I baby them, so can image how I am feeling so far.  Over price for something that not worth giving a protective case.

First Impression wearing the Sundogs Billy83 TrueBlue Polarized PLUS and Stack TrueBlue.    They have a darker lens than Tisfosi sunglasses that I have.  With the darker lenses, it darkens the grass greener and sky bluer.  For bright sunny days they are great.  As you can see I got the wraps.  I cannot have the sun coming in on the side, and they prevent the sun from coming in on the side.    People have their preference on style and this is mine.  

I have not notice if I can read the greens any better.  With the cost sky rocketing to play golf, including the gas needed to get to the courses, I just do not see the need to go to another course.  The Country Club I play at are older smaller greens.  They have some slight breaks that are just tough to read.  At times it seems that I read the green backwards.  

One thing I have notice though, is I can track the ball a little better.  As I age it is harder to track the ball normally.  My depth perception is going, but I have better idea where the ball should be.  

A pair of sunglasses I would love to compare these too is Oakleys Prism golf glasses.

Final Thoughts on the Sundog Sunglasses Billy83 and the Stack's:

Stack TrueBlue 85:100

First Impression 5:10

With the being stated with the score, I have to say I was impressed with the looks of the sunglasses. I give that a score of 5.  But how they were package, as you can see from the picture above, they just completely missed the mark.  The Stack's and Billy's only had a plastic sleeve protecting, and the cushion protecting it from the box.  From the money expected to be paying for them, that alone turned me off even considering them for future consideration!

As for the fit, I was more impressed how comfortable the Stack's were over the Billy's.  Even today I just cannot get a comfortable wear from the Billy's.  Every time I am messing around with the arms to try and make them comfortable.  The Stack's I can go for hours and forget that I have them on.

Design 20:20

This is the design I like, the wrap style.  I do not like the sun coming from the sides and I never know if a little is going to get through the sides with the wrap.  I have to say that I never had an issue of sun coming in the sides when I was swing, and being distracted.  These hit the mark on that.  I like the clear frames with the blue ear padding.

Comfortability (The Numbers) 18:20

These were comfortable from the moment I put them on!  I wear these for a whole round and forget that I have them on.  I enjoy wearing these driving as well.  They are light weight.  The arms slip right under my hat, the way I wear my sunglasses.  I just cannot say enough how comfortable they are.  I do have a smaller size head, I wear a S/M flex ball cap.  Hope this gives you an idea. 

The lenses are dark, so on the course I sometimes have to pull them up on top of my hat when the sun was covered by clouds.  It just made it harder to see things clearly.  The lenses did help me to be able to track the golfball further than I was able to with a different brand of sunglasses.  I didn't have a problem reading the greens.   Some of the greens are just hard to read.

 

On The Course 17/20

As mentioned above the lenses are darker than other sunglasses I have.  Tracking the ball was better.  I could not wear them when the sun was behind clouds because of the darkness of the sense.  Spotting the ball in rough was better than more previous pair of sunglasses, and let me tell you it is no picnic looking in our rough to find your ball.   We still at times have to literally step on the ball to find it.  I have to say that it is better reading the greens, but still have difficulty picking up the contour of the slight breaks in them.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly 8/10

The good on these sunglasses is the comfort level for someone with a smaller head.  How well they block the sun on the sides.  They are great for bright, clear, sunny days on the course.  The bad, is the darkness of the lenses.  Partly cloudy days, have to take the sunglasses off while the sun is tuck behind the clouds.  

Wear them or Leave Them 17/20

I will be wearing these a lot, despite how dark the lenses are.  I am upset that they did not come with a hard protective case in shipping and have the ability to put them away while on the course.  It seems that the Q/A department fell short of that one when someone is paying $79.99, and having them shipped.

IMG_1304.jpeg 

IMG_1306.jpeg

IMG_1308.jpeg

 

Billy83 TrueBlue Polarized PLUS 61:100

First Impression 4:10

Much like the Stack's, they were in a plastic sleeve.  Costing $149.99 for these, highly disappointed that there is NO hard case.  You get a Hybrid head cover as a case.  Soft, no protection when on the course for your investment.  I know that other companies have hard cases for their sunglasses that cost less.  QA department did not think this through all the way.

Design 17:20 

Was not fully impressed.  The look was good.  The wrap style is my choice style to wear to keep the sun out on the sides when I swing.  Not much a black color for my glasses.  That is a personal choice.

Comfortability 10:20

I was not a fan for these glasses.  There was always something that was not comfortable when wearing them.  I would mess with the arms where they rest on the ear, since you can bend them.  Then there was a discomfort on the bridge of the nose.  I tried and tried to like these because just could not pull myself to like them with the comfortability.  I would constantly be putting them on top of my hat when playing.

On the Course 15/20

Outside what was stated above, I did like how I could track my shot further in flight.  Having older eyes and things becoming hard to see, I was impressed.   Colors popped and could spot my ball better in the rough, when not buried under the clovers patches!  The lenses are dark like the Stack's, talked about above.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 5:10

The good was the sense of the lenses.  The bad and ugly was the fit and comfort of the glasses.  Having to adjust to try and have them comfortable, just could not get them to be.

Take them on the course or leave them 10:20

I have to say I am going to leave them to collect dust.  I prefer the Stack's over the Billy's.  I would not spend the money on these sunglasses.  It was nice to be part in trying them out, but I could not after trying and trying too.

Hello my spy's my name is Alan I'm 53 years old. Married for 26 yr and I have 3 amazing kids all in their 20's. I'm a self-employed home remodeler in the Kansas City Missouri area. I have been playing golf since my early teens and a handicap around 18, for the last year and half I have been able once a week even during the winter months. We have a 40° temp rule, nothing lower!😁 Golf has really helped me physically and mentally to better myself. I like most sports, will watch or try to watch anything with a back story.  Just took up watching F1 a few years back, never thought I would enjoy it this much. I try to practice golf everyday.  I'm blessed with able to hit in my basement  ( a golf simulator is something I would love to install). I'm looking forward to to testing the Sundog sunglasses as I haven't found  a pair of sunglasses I can wear while playing golf as the ones I have I  make it to dark to see the ball. Do need to wear something as the wind really dries out my contacts. Excited to compare the polarized too none polarized to see which will help me see better playing golf and out in the everyday life.  Thanks again for selecting me to do this review!

 

1st impression! 

Wanting to apologize as I shot a video last Saturday night after a round of golf ( which I could have used some sunglasses, because eye fatigue is real), helping my wife get the food ready as we hosted Easter!  Found out im not able to post videos as the new phone i have has a bug that the manufacturer of the phone knows about and trying to fix with updates, it will not let me upload videos for my phone even tried uploading from YouTube! Was very hard not open the box for 6 hrs !!! I loved the bouns @Sundog Eyewear  sent us ! The head cover glass case with ball marker.  Nice20240401_123955.jpg.2f40a373363688d9b8a1efeb774d947d.jpg touch!  Having a hard time right now as since the came in the mail cloudy and rain both days!

Final Review:

First impression  10 /10

Not sure why it could be anything else as I received the glasses that I wanted. Billy 83 TrueBlue Polarized Plus and the Stack True Blue, both are sporty and have a little style!

Aesthetics/ The Numbers 40/40

I have woren the Billy's for over 30+ hours on the course and do play were the greens are mostly in yhe shade which makes it harder to read the greens with the polarized lenses. But in yhe sun the really do work well and my playing partners love that I can find most balls in the bought given the grass is mowed to a reasonable height!

The True Blue I have worked them for over 40hrs driving mostly and doing lawn work and or just beeing outside. 

The comfort level is awesome as I never know they are on expect for the reduction in glare, they both have a metal piece in the ear section that you can adjust that's wrapped around rubber. 

On the Courses  18/20

Golf is hard enough, but having a great pair of sunglasses that stay one while you're moving around the course and help minimize eye fatigue are the 2 pluses in my book and both the sets I have fit the bill! Now as I look back on my stats, on an app that I use, I can tell which rounds I wore the Bill Polarized Plus  sunglasses.  I didn't shoot very well. I played Sunday May 19 and was playing poorly so I switched to the Stack True Blue for the first time and I finished like I normally play! I did notice if the courses just aerated the greens that I needed to take of the polarized sunglasses as all the little dots were like being in  Vagas and looking at all the lights displays! 

The Good / Bad 8/10 

I would like to see when receiving the glasses some type of information on how to keep them maintained and that the ear pieces do adjust to make them even more comfortable! I'm really not a person whom likes to wear sunglasses while playing any sports as my eyes need more light to see well. I will keep wearing both pairs while on the course but not while im hitting !

Play it or Trade it 20/20 

I'm playing both pairs as the price point for the Billy 83 TrueBlue Polarized cost what others charge for none polarized sunglasses and the Stack TrueBlue are 1/2 that price!

Conclusion 96/100

when wearing the @Sundog Eyewear when I'm out, I have had people stop and ask me what kind of sunglasses that I was wearing! Never had that happen with other brands! I'm a customer for life and will be buying a pair or 2 in the near future, can't have enough sunglasses! One warning I have is that I wouldn't wear the polarized glasses on the golf course when they just aerated the greens as the clarity of this type will mess with your eyes and makes it harder to read the greens that are already hard to read with all the little dots all over the place! I never knew about wearing polarized sunglasses while playing but I'm a big fan now and will always wear them on the course! Thanks again to MyGolfSpy and @Sundog Eyewear for giving me the chance to review these 2 pairs.

Hey spies, just wanted to do a proper intro since this is the 1st test I've been able to participate in. My name is Scott and I'm 40 years old. I live in Louisville with my beautiful wife of 15 years (not sure how she's put up with my crap this long lol), and 2 girls age 9 and 13. 

I've been playing golf since I could walk, played junior leagues growing up, and played varsity golf in high school. I fell off the horse for a few years after graduating, cause partying ya know. I've got pretty heavily back into golf over the past 10-12 years, and really really involved over the past 5. I'm fortunate enough to have a public course backing up to my yard which makes practice and play super easy on a daily basis. I've managed to trim my handicap back down close to scratch, but like most I have days I hit it awful!!!! I've been using a shotscope H4 since last year, that neat tool has truly improved my game since I can monitor yardage, look at strokes gained, etc.

In regards to this test, I usually wear sunglasses daily since I drive for Sysco and I'm on the road throughout the day. I like wearing polarized but my Ray Bans are weird on the course. I have some Tifosi golf sunglasses that have their tech in them and they really help, so I'm really excited to see how these Sundogs fit and feel. I'm signed up for the Billy83 polarized, and the Propel TrueBlue sunglasses. I plan on testing them thoroughly, getting critical measurements as alot of need wider or narrower frames, how the nosepiece feels and sits on the face, durability, comfort, etc. 20240325_183453.jpg.74fa199d6c1fbf7d20d9a5376dd7b8f0.jpg

Again, I'm pumped to be included in this test and can't wait to get started. I hope people reach out if they think of off the wall ways to test them....I'm all ears.

 

Got my sunglasses today and I'm super pumped so far. Here is the unboxing video. Time to get yall some specs.

I've been wearing mainly the Billy83 polarized plus sunglasses all week during work. Overall they are super nice, and don't slip at all on my face. As mentioned, I drive a truck for Sysco so these glasses are excellent while driving since they really cut down on glare and improve clarity! 

Also, they help alot on the few gray sky days we've had this week in Kentucky. I have blue eyes so sunglasses in general help, but the polarized tech that @Sundog Eyewear has infused into their products is superior so far! I said early on, the first impressions were a 9/10 for me. I do wish they would've thrown some bubble wrap in the box for safe measure. Yeah the products showed up safe, but an extra wrap of something would ease the mind, especially since the regular trueblue pair is $79.99, and the polarized are $149. That's it for now, hope to go play in a bit and test more.

FINAL REVIEW:  Billy83 Trueblue Polarized.

First Impression: 9/10 

From the initial viewing of the @Sundog EyewearBilly83 sunglasses I was impressed as mentioned in my unboxing videos. Sundog claims to have mastered the polarized tech in these glasses due to the manufacturing process they use. Ive had alot of polarized sunglasses and they usually scratch pretty quick. Thats not the case with these, they're definitely more durable and easy to clean up. The soft case is nice, and the exclusive headcover case with magnet is a really cool addition! The main reason for the 1 point deduction is due to lack of shipping care taken. It seemed some bubblewrap or kraft paper would've been peace of mind. There was no noted damage to either pair of glasses, and could just be me being picky. Not sure if that's how these glasses are normally shipped, but it could be something to think of from the shipping department.

Aesthetics: 20/20 

I can honestly say I love the way the Billy83 model looks and fits. I have an average sized head and they fit nice and snug along my temples without being too tight. I've always liked the overall shape of the Billy83 in regards to other brands that I've worn in the past, they just fit me well. When you throw in the $149 price these are a solid contender to the higher priced glasses in the market. This model has a soft, rubbery nosepiece that doesn't bounce around while walking the course which is nice. It's not fair to the Propel model I also received, but I've been wearing the Billy83 for daily duty at work, racetrack, etc as they just fit.

20240330_164235.jpg.d3b0ef84107ed27ae2e8b3b5271ce958.jpg

The Numbers: 18/20

To be completely fair, the main advantage the Billy83 model gave is cutting down on glare. Having blue eyes, I like to wear sunglasses to ease the strain, and these really help with that aspect as well.

On The Course: 19/20

Since receiving these sunglasses to test, I've had ample time on the course to really evaluate the benefits of the polarized tech in the lenses. The first day I actually topped a couple balls as my depth perception was off, however I quickly adjusted my setup and got everything under control quickly and felt normal again. The Billy83 do really well in sunny and gray sky conditions, but dusk they weren't as effective. These glasses are lightweight, and the arms can be bent to adjust if needed however they fit my head just fine.

20240331_160445.jpg.220d38678d762e0b9104ff071dd17853.jpg

The Good, the bad, the inbetween: 9/10

As I've mentioned prior, the Billy83 Polarized model is really comfortable for all day use for someone with an average sized face/head. I have a buddy with a big ole noggin and they didn't fit him well at all, looked kind of funny! The only bad I have, reason for docking the point is trying to use electronics, or look at a TV with them on. Polarized lenses have a reputation of causing an issue viewing screens, however @Sundog Eyewear has mitigated some of the effects of this, the sunglasses still have that issue. That's no fault to Sundog, as all of my polarized sunglasses do this, it's just something to be aware of if purchasing. However, easy fix, just take them off haha.

Play it or Trade it: 20/20

One thing is for sure, I would without a doubt wear the Billy83 sunglasses in a tournament or even playing for money! Of the two pair I've been testing, these are my favorite and look forward to wearing them for a long while until they get worn out. Being able to clearly see the ball is obviously important, and these glasses help that task with ease since they do such a great job cutting down on the glare. I wish I could make it to where I see like that all the time. I also feel that the $149 asking price is fair in comparison to the other competitors in the same market. Truthfully, I believe I fit into the right demographic to test this model. Having an average sized head ensured they fit without digging into my head. The nosepiece is comfortable, they look stylish, and they have performed really well for me on the course! Heck, just last Wednesday I shot my career low round of 68 while wearing these!!!! Could be coincidence, but I know for a fact they helped me read a couple greens when the sun was challenging me. Also, I think people with nearsightedness would benefit wearing these. The way the viewing window is more clear than regular sunglasses allows one to see the ball down range much easier. 

20240515_124958.jpg.ef6ff4f6edecd990ff48c1636fa86d12.jpg

Conclusion: 

In short, the Billy83 TrueBlue Polarized model from Sundog is a great addition to the golf sunglass market. They're priced fair, look great, they're lightweight which is important for long term wearing intervals, and the lenses clean easily. The polarized tech infused into the lenses really does a great job for clarity and glare reduction. I highly recommend trying these sunglasses if someone is looking for a new brand or pair to wear while golfing, fishing, driving, or just casual use. Overall, they tick all the boxes for me, and I'm sure others as well.

Final Score: 95/100

I'm so thankful I was selected as one of the Testers for the sunglasses! I recently bought a pair of competitors glasses last year, and the Billy83 model jumped all over them. I'll keep that pair in the bag in case of emergency, but I'll be wearing these daily! Thanks again to My Golf Spy and the admins of the forum, along with @Sundog Eyewear for the opportunity, blessed to be a part of this is an understatement.

 

Final Review and Score: Propel Trueblue

First Impression: 10/10

From the time I opened the packaging I was impressed with the Propel model. The shape reminds me of my Ray Bans, but the frame on these are a bit larger than I'm used to wearing. The lens color is sharp, they feel nice on my face, and they fit well right out of the package. They look nicer than the $79 tag and @Sundog Eyewear should be proud of their products and being priced very competitively.

20240330_164152.jpg.a2e062d6cd04145e8dbff8348c3e8907.jpg

Aesthetics: 19/20

I had to pull a point from a perfect score just based on personal opinion. I'm not a fan of a plastic bridge while golfing. I sweat bad, and for some reason glasses like this just want to slide. The Propel model is right at home for all other aspects of my life, and I've enjoyed wearing them around while testing. 20240330_164207.jpg.793e75655a8fcba72d36f83ff0c877ad.jpg

The Numbers: 18/20

While playing with this model, I was very happy with how the trueblue tech helped clarity with the course and skies. These remind me of my Tifosi sunglasses, but the Propel are definitely more stylish and can be worn from course to anywhere. I didn't have a problem tracking the ball whether it be a blue sky, or good ole gray skies here in KY!

On The Course: 18/20

Overall, the Propel sunglasses are a really solid product, especially at the price point set for the market. I've heard people talk about how sunglasses don't matter on the course, and I completely disagree as I've been wearing different models for years. Now, with the opportunity to test these, I'm even more impressed with how tech has advanced. 

20240331_162140.jpg.9e452a2a1222a408b5241e47dd839f10.jpg

The Good, the bad, the inbetween: 8/10

I'd have to say my favorite part of the Propel model is the lens. I've always liked orange hues (orange is my favorite color lol). The overall fit is well, but the plastic bridge is the only drawback for me. The shape is nice, but the frame is larger than I'm used to wearing....however that's turned into a benefit as it covers more ground and creates a wider viewing area without distortion from the frame.

Play it or Trade it: 19/20

I will definitely wear the Propel model in serious competition with one exception, cooler climate days. On hotter, humid weather we have here in Louisville I'll be sticking to the Billy83 model, but in spring or fall I won't hesitate to wear the Propel at any given time. I feel the asking price of $79 is fair in relation to the competition. I think this model is more suited to those who don't wear hats while golfing. The shape of the frame doesn't work well with curved bill hats. I'm not a flat bill guy, but they would work better with that I would imagine.

Conclusion:

All in all, I believe Sundog did a great job with the Propel model with trueblue tech! The style is very versatile for many facets of daily life. They fit well for someone with an average to larger sized face, and rest comfortably on the nose. As mentioned, I didn't find them real comfortable while sweating and playing, but everywhere else they're great! It's been an awesome opportunity to test and review these sunglasses. I thank MGS and Sundog again for the chance, I couldn't be more grateful!

Final Score: 92/100

Congrats testers! I've only ever worn two types of sunglasses on the course, and Sundog is one of them. Enjoy the testing process!

Congratulations testers!  Looking forward to all the features and benefits, and differences these pairs of sunglasses provide on the course (and off)

Will anybody being doing full time reviews, or golf course only?

This is going to be a unique testing opportunity. I've never really considered buying sunglasses specifically for a sport. Enjoy getting out in the sun testers!

Congrats testers!! I'm excited to hear about these sunglasses, especially from any tester coming from Oakley glasses.

I have to wear sunglasses outside since my eyes have become extremely sensitive to bright light. So I'm always looking for quality stuff.

I’m not a sunglasses guy, but my wife wears hers everywhere including on the course. I’m curious to hear if the sunglasses help/hinder for reading putts. When I wear sunglasses, it shifts my vision slightly if that makes sense and I’ve always felt/wondered if this would impact putting.

Really looking forward to this one!  A little about me (and my eyes)...

I have TERRIBLE vision that I correct with contacts.  So, on the course it's very important to me that my eyes stay comfortable.  Oh...I also have bad seasonal allergies 😞 

For years I've always WANTED to be able to wear sunglasses on the course, but have never found the right pair.  I even tried the transition contact lenses for some sun reduction.  Nothing ever felt like I could really SEE the ball as well as without anything so I just never seemed to play as well with shades on. 

 

I hope this changes everything!  I'm very excited to be a tester and to compare the TrueBlue Poloarized vs. Non-Polarized lenses.  I'll test both on the course and just wearing around town.  I live near water as well, so (if you're a fly fisherman like me) I should be able to give a quick nod to how they perform with water visibility.  

 

Cheers and hope all the testers enjoy them!
