NoCry Safety Glasses
$20.00
Eye injuries on the pickleball court can happen in a number of ways, including by getting hit with the pickleball in the eye or by being poked in the eye by your partner’s elbow or hand. Eye injuries can happen at all levels—from beginner to professional. Most of these eye injuries are preventable by wearing eye protection (i.e. safety glasses).
About this item:
- The NoCry Safety Glasses keep your eyes safe from direct and peripheral threats, thanks to the strong and durable polycarbonate wraparound construction. Bonus: they also protect your eyes from 90-100% of harmful UV radiation.
- The curved 125 mm temple arms can be extended and angled, while the non-slip tips and soft rubber nose piece allow for custom fit and comfort. The 150 mm frame width will fit any face type or head size – men, women and youth.
- The clear (untinted) lenses let you see everything with zero distortion, and are anti fog and scratch resistant. Make sure to clean and store your safety glasses properly to keep them in tip-top condition – there are some helpful instructions in the package.
- Designed for woodworking and carpentry, metal and construction work, lab, chemistry, dental and medical work, indoor and outdoor shooting (always double-check the safety requirements of your local shooting range), cycling, riding or sports – anything you’d need PPE eyewear for.
Solar Bat Sunglasses
These sunglasses are worn by hundreds of players in Australia; players of tennis, pickleball, padel and beach tennis. The lenses highlight optic yellow (the ball) and a darker gradient runs along the top of the lenses to minimise “sun blindness” when hitting overheads.Click here to view all features.
SOLAR BAT AUSTRALIA is offering our members a $40 discount. Apply the code NBPA40 on solarbataustralia.bigcartel.com.
NBPA receive $10 for each pair purchased by our members.
Nets and Pickleballs
You will also need a net and a pickleball. The ball is unique, with holes through it like a whiffle ball. Different ball models are intended for indoor and outdoor play. Balls come in several colors, including orange, white, yellow and green.
Shoes
Pickleball shoes are actually much more important than your paddle!
Wearing good court shoes can lessen the chances of injury. Sneakers or running shoes do not supply the right kind of support for the side-to-side action inherent in pickleball. Open shoes, hiking boots, running shoes and swim shoes are most definitely not suitable for pickleball. A lot of people will start playing pickleball with their running shoes because it’s the most common type of sports shoe and it’s the most convenient, but this can be a disastrous choice. To avoid injury in pickleball, you will need sturdier shoes.
Because pickleball being such a new sport in Australia, it is hard to find a pair of shoes made especially for pickleball. A well-fitting pair of tennis shoes is the best option for outdoor play and volleyball or badminton shoes for indoor play.
Clothing
You can wear just about anything comfortable and appropriate for the climate: athletic shorts, gym pants, t-shirts, etc.
Also, our club has a variety of colourful tee shirts and polo shirts available for purchase. You will find all details here: Womens shirts, Mens shirts and Unisex shirts.
