“After working with many Duramed FUTURES Tour players who have made PeakVision a necessary part of their golf equipment, we are excited to now partner with the Duramed FUTURES Tour in this official capacity”, says J. Paul Moore, Founder & CEO of PeakVision Sports.  He continues, “Beyond the health and safety benefits that PeakVision’s 100% UV400 eye protection and impact resistance provide, PEAKS afford a true performance advantage for these great competitors.  These players have come to know that PeakVision’s motto, ‘See Better, Play Better’ is more than just a mantra... it is truth.”
