Pilla sent me the setups its pros actually play in: which glasses, which arms, which lenses. I've been wearing the Razor Max for my Pilla review, and the first thing I wanted to know was what the people who do this for a living put on their faces. So here's the whole list, plus what it costs to copy each one.
How a Pilla setup works
Every pair of Pilla glasses is three parts, and you pick each one.
The shape. Pilla calls these series. It's the lens shield itself: Razor, Razor Max, Neptune, Zeus, Azur Post and Azur No-Post. The Razor is the low-profile standard. The Neptune was built with Anna Leigh Waters and covers more of the eye. The Zeus wraps 180 degrees and is the most expensive. The two Azurs are the slimmest, built for smaller faces and lower nose bridges.
The arms. Pilla calls these frames. The standard fork arms come with the glasses. The Copa arms (Flying V, Delta and Straight) add $100 and have a hinge that lets you tilt the lens up or down on your face. The Edge is a handmade carbon fiber straight arm and adds $149.
The lenses. These are the filters, and they're the expensive part. The number in each name is how much light gets through. A 26 lets in 26% of the light, which is a sunny-day lens. A 92 lets in 92%, which is for indoors.
The pattern
Fourteen pros on Pilla's list. Here's what they carry.
| Lens | What it's for | Pros using it |
|---|---|---|
| 92CIL | Indoor and night. Lime base that brightens a dim gym | 13 of 14 |
| 26CIED | Full sun. Pilla's main outdoor lens | 10 |
| 30HIR | Full sun. The "highlighter" that dulls everything but the ball | 7 |
| 62CIED | Overcast and shade. A lighter 26CIED | 6 |
| 62CIHW | Overcast and shade. Pink, more contrast | 2 |
| 85CICA | Indoor and night. Amber, more filtering than the 92CIL | 1 |
Two lenses do almost all the work. The 92CIL is the indoor lens, and every pro on this list except one carries it. The 26CIED is the sun lens for ten of them. The other outdoor camp runs the 30HIR highlighter instead, and that's the split worth knowing: the 26CIED makes everything look sharper, while the 30HIR makes the ball look like it's glowing.
The shapes split the same way. Seven of the fourteen wear the Razor. Three wear the Zeus, three wear an Azur, and Waters has the Neptune to herself. For arms, eight of them use the Copa Flying V.
Nobody on the list wears the Razor Max, which is the one I wear. It's a bigger Razor, and it's the only one that fits my head. Apparently that's a problem the pros don't have. My lenses are Anna Bright's set minus her 85CICA: the 26CIED, 62CIED and 92CIL.
Every pro's setup
Prices are Pilla's build-your-own kits with that pro's shape, arms and lenses, before any discount, as listed on October 29, 2026. Azur prices are Pilla's launch pricing and may go up.

Waters' $775 is also exactly what Pilla charges for her limited Milestone Kit, which is the same Neptune and Flying V setup with her logo on it. Add $180 if you need a prescription insert like she does.
The ones worth a closer look
Anna Leigh Waters. Pilla says the Neptune was co-engineered with her and named as a tribute to the partnership. She wears prescription, using Pilla's insert, and Pilla says you can spot it in photos of her in light yellow lenses. The Flying V arms were her idea too. She wanted the back of the frame to tuck under her visor, so the visor anchors the glasses to her head. Pilla says it's become one of its most popular frames.
Anna Bright. The only pro on the list with four lenses, and the only one using the 85CICA indoors alongside the 92CIL. She's in the new Azur Post, which comes with three nosepiece lengths so you can set the height to your nose bridge. Her Copa Delta arms are wide and teardrop-shaped to block light and wind from the side.
The Johnsons. Both in the Zeus, Pilla's most expensive shape, both on the 30HIR highlighter outdoors. The difference is in the middle. JW uses the natural 62CIED for cloudy days. Jorja uses the pink 62CIHW, because she likes the extra contrast. Pilla says Bright is the opposite case and prefers the natural look.

Chris Haworth. The most stripped-down setup on the list: one outdoor lens, one indoor lens. Pilla says the 30HIR is "the lens that Chris became #1 with." At $725 it's tied with Mari Humberg's for the cheapest setup on the list.
The Edge crowd. Sofia Sewing, Camden Chaffin and Cailyn Campbell all wear the carbon Edge arms, a straight arm with rubber tips that grip the side of your head. Pilla says Sewing tucks them under her visor, the same trick Waters uses with the Flying V.
How to copy the pros without spending $1,900
If I were starting from zero, I'd buy a three-lens kit. One lens can't cover every court you'll play on, and three can:
- 26CIED, 62CIED and 92CIL. Full sun, cloudy days and indoor courts. The 26CIED and 92CIL are the two almost every pro on this list carries, and the 62CIED is the cloudy-day lens six of them add. It's the kit I wear, and it's Anna Bright's setup minus her second indoor lens.
- The frame that fits your face. I don't have a shape to push on you. The Razor is the most popular on this list, with seven of the fourteen, and the cheapest, tied with the Razor Max. Pilla tags every frame with the face shapes it suits. If your head is big, go Razor Max. Trust me.
- Arms: the standard fork if you're watching the money, or the Copa Flying V for $100 more if you wear a visor.
In a Razor or Razor Max, that's an $850 kit with the standard arms, or $722.50 with code NICOTHELEFTY. The Flying V adds $100.
