We are proudly based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as an American company dedicated to designing and engineering high-performance sports products.

Both American-based Playmedal and Canadian-based Kitchen Blockers eliminate fogging, scratches, glare, and optical distortion through lensless designs—but their engineering approaches are completely different.

Rather than bulky protective-goggle styling, Playmedal is built like streamlined athletic eyewear. By minimizing upper and side frame bulk, our refined geometry delivers a wider field of view and unobstructed sightlines on court. Powered by proprietary Full Viz Field™ and Node Deflection™ technologies, Playmedal pairs flexible, adjustable temples with a soft, integrated TPE nose bridge—building impact cushioning directly into the frame rather than relying on stick-on foam pads.

Yes! We plan to release new colorways through limited product drops. Join our newsletter to get notified by email as soon as new drops go live.

Not just yet—our current frames are designed for standard nose bridges and do not fit securely on flatter facial profiles or high cheekbones. However, a dedicated Low Bridge ("Asian Fit") version is currently in development and coming soon! Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when it drops.

In our testing, we have not found a pickleball paddle that can pass through the eye openings of either the CourtStrike or AeroRift frames. The frame geometry is designed to create a physical barrier between the paddle and the eye area.

Before playing, we recommend checking your specific paddle against the frame openings, including the paddle edges and corners, to verify adequate clearance.
