Golf needs more visors.
We ran the numbers last year, and the results aren't pretty. Since the height of visor mania in 1992, it's been a slow and steady decline. Now, us visor-wearers, we're down. We're down bad.
Which is why videos like this from the visor movement's leader and general golf style icon, Keith Mitchell, are so important.
And actually very helpful, too.
You can check out the video by Imperial Headwear below, which makes the famed tour visor. Mitchell's visor-saving technique, which you can also use for breaking in new visors so they fit more comfortably, essentially comes down to five steps:
1. Tighten it
Mitchell says that first, you need to tighten the back of the visor—"a little tighter than you think."
2. Find the centerpoint
After that, locate the center of the crown of the visor, which should be pretty easy. Just look for the logo on the visor itself.
3. Stretch from the top of the crown
With one hand on the top of the centerpoint of the crown and another on the strap at the back, stretch the visor apart.
4. Fold in both sides
The third step helps make the visor more narrow, rather than wide, and the fourth step does too. Mash in and fold down the sides. The two steps help prevent the visor from sitting too wide on your forehead (unless you like it that way).
5. Adjust brim
With the visor narrowed and broken in slightly, the hard work is done. Now it's time to adjust the brim.
Before/After
A true masterclass from the best in the business, and a visor's life saved because of it.
