Golf head protection, hidden in a cap the whole family will actually wear.
It looks like a premium golf cap. Hidden in the brim is a polycarbonate face shield that drops in about a second to help shield the eyes and face from a stray ball or club — then tucks away.
Reserve YoursIn development and patent-pending — renderings show the concept. Reserving is free, with no payment and no obligation.
More than a cap
Hidden until you need it
The shield stays tucked out of sight, then flips down and locks in about a second.
Rigid shield, cushioned liner
A polycarbonate face shield over a cushioned liner, designed to help absorb impact and deflect a stray ball or club.
No one will know it’s there
On the course it looks like the cap they already love — no bulky helmet, nothing that stands out.
How it deploys
It looks like a cap
On the course or off, the shield stays tucked out of sight in the brim.
It drops in about a second
When you want it, a clear polycarbonate shield swings down across the face.
It locks into place
A mechanical lock holds it steady — then releases and tucks away just as fast.
Built for the
whole family.
For the people you play with. A parent can give a junior golfer a cap designed to help reduce the risk of a strike — and one they’ll actually keep on. Anyone, at any age, can wear it without a fuss. Same cap, every round.
Lock in founding prices from $49 and hold your place for the first run — no payment today.
Reserve YoursWho it’s for
Junior golfers
Children are among the most-injured golfers. A cap designed to help reduce that risk — and one a kid will actually keep on.
Seniors
Reaction times slow with age. A cap designed to help, in a style that looks like any other.
Caddies & marshals
Hours on the course, often right where balls fly. Help look after the people who spend the day out there.
Ranges & camps
High ball volume and lots of beginners. Outfit staff and junior programs with confidence.
On the course
By the numbers
Golf injuries are uncommon — but when a club or ball does strike someone, it’s the head and face that take the worst of it.
Injury rate by age (per 10,000 golfers / yr)
Kids (7-17) and seniors (55+) are injured at nearly 3× the rate of other adults.
How golfers get hurt (share of injuries)
About 4 in 10 golf injuries come from being struck — by a club (23%) or a ball (16%).

How it compares
This shows ForeShield’s intended design next to other options — not test results, and not a claim of equal protection to a certified helmet or face guard.
| ForeShield | Nothing | Sunglasses | Certified face guard / helmet | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Designed to shield the face & eyes from a strike | By design | ✗ No | Eyes only | ✓ Yes |
| Looks like a normal golf cap | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No |
| Deploys only when you need it | ✓ Yes | — | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| Comfortable for a full round | By design | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No |
| Sun protection from the brim | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | Partial | ✗ No |
Comparison reflects ForeShield’s intended design. Protective performance has not yet been independently tested and is not claimed to equal any certified face guard or helmet.
Where we are
ForeShield is real and in active development. Here’s exactly where the project stands today — reserving simply puts you first in line, with no payment until it’s ready.
Concept & design
The cap, the hidden shield, and the deploy-and-lock mechanism are designed.
Provisional patent filed
Filed March 2026 — the underlying technology is patent-pending.
Prototyping the mechanism
Refining the deploy-and-lock so it’s smooth, secure, and durable.
Independent impact testing
Planned before any sale — we won’t make protection claims until it’s tested.
First production run
Reserve now to be first in line and lock the founding price.
ForeShield started with a simple problem: the golf head protection that exists looks like protection — so almost no one wears it, and kids take it off the moment you turn around. I’m building the version people will actually keep on: a premium cap first, with the shield hidden until the moment it matters. It’s early, honest work — patent-pending and in active development — and I’ll share every step before it’s ever for sale.

Questions
Is ForeShield tested and certified?
Not yet. ForeShield is in active development and patent-pending, and its protective performance has not been independently tested. We’ll share testing details before it goes on sale — reserving today is about being first in line, not a purchase.
When will it ship?
We’re finalizing the design and our first production run. Join the reserve list and we’ll email you launch timing the moment it’s set.
How much will it cost?
The line spans four models at founding prices — ForeShield Lite $49, Junior $79, Standard $99 (our flagship) and Premium $129 — all intended launch prices, subject to change. Reserve now, with no payment today, to be first in line for any model.
Will it fit me or my kid?
ForeShield is designed as an adjustable cap to fit most adults and junior golfers, with final sizing confirmed before launch. Reserving doesn’t commit you to a size or a purchase — you’ll choose once details are set.
Does the shield fog up or block my view?
The shield is clear polycarbonate and flips out of the way when you don’t need it. Optical clarity and anti-fog are part of our ongoing development.
What do I get by reserving now?
Reserve-list members are first in line when the first run launches and lock in founding prices before they change. There’s no payment today and no obligation to buy — it simply holds your place and makes sure you hear first.
Is it safe for a child to wear?
ForeShield is being designed with a cushioned liner and a shield that only deploys when you choose. Because it’s still in development and not yet independently tested, we won’t make safety claims yet — we’ll publish testing and age guidance before it ships, and reserving today is risk-free with no payment.
Is reserving a purchase?
No. There’s no payment today — reserving simply adds you to our launch list and notes your interest in the founding price. You can leave the list anytime.
