ProKennex Infinity: the budget pick

Karakal Pro 2500 and Pro 3000
The Karakal Pro 2500 at ₹2,241 has a wide lens to expand your field of vision and adjustable straps for a personal fit. The Karakal Pro 3000 at ₹2,699 is described as lightweight with an adjustable strap, which helps comfort over long sessions.
Dunlop D SAC Protect
The Dunlop D SAC Protect costs ₹2,399. It has an adjustable head strap to prevent slippage and a wide field of vision for tracking the ball accurately.
Tecnifibre Lunettes
The Tecnifibre Lunettes is ₹3,199, the most expensive here. It is lightweight and designed to give a wide, unobstructed view, a good fit for competitive players who spend long hours on court.
How to choose
- Fit first: adjust the strap so the eyewear does not shift during a rally.
- Field of vision: a wide lens helps you read the ball off the side wall.
- Comfort: lighter frames are easier to wear for a full session.
- Budget: all five options cost less than a good squash racket.
Complete your squash kit
Pair your eyewear with a ball suited to your level, such as the Head Tournament squash ball at ₹183. Check your club rules, as some require approved eyewear for juniors and doubles play. Eyewear lowers the risk of eye injury but does not remove it, so always warm up and stay aware of your opponent's racket swing.
Care tips
Rinse the lenses in lukewarm water, dry them with a soft cloth and store the eyewear in a case or pouch. Avoid wiping dry lenses with a rough towel, which can scratch the surface and reduce clarity. Replace any pair that is cracked or scratched enough to affect your vision.
Fitting eyewear for juniors
Junior players need a snug fit so the frame does not slide during quick movement. Adjust the strap on court and ask your child to shake their head and bend over before they play. If a frame is too large, look for a smaller option rather than overtightening the strap.
