Why Wear A Visor Instead Of A Hat
Unfortunately I am not sponsored by a company like Callaway Nike or Titleist.
Why wear a visor instead of a hat. The reason supporting this statement is that health experts advise you to wear summer hats such as the visors hats or the Brixton hats to prevent your skin from prolonged exposure to the sunlight. Wearing a hat is one of the best ways to cool down during hot races. Maybe not cool down but to stay protected from the sun.
Some coaches wear hats and some wear visors. For these reasons I have no desire to wear a hat. A baseball hat will help keep the heat in and wearing a visor will allow some heat to escape.
Caps are better for keeping cool in the heat than visors. The top of the head is not covered and the visor protects only the face including eyes nose and cheeks from the sun. After playing for a few years I can now say that I never wear a hat.
Here is Part 2. Visors only protect the eyes and are only required where there is a risk of splashing the guidance says. Coach Taggart wears a FSU VISOR and Ive lost a lot of sleep over it.
If you believe that you are completely safe by just wearing normal hats or simple caps then think once again because these simple hats do not cut off sunlight in any way. They are therefore only recommended for. Tennis players golfers often wear visors while playing to help keep the sun from their eyes.
Wearing a hat is part of the professional game for two reasons sponsorships and seeing the ball flight. If you wear headwear that does not fully cover the head you can allow heat to more easily escape from your head. Bobby and Jimbo both won titles while wearing hats.
