Strength is very important in Mario Golf: Super Run. Without enough power, a player may need to hit more shots to get the ball into the hole. This frustrates the player with a character that is not powerful in the first place.

That's where special lenses come in. While the primary purpose of these shots is to prevent other players from shooting, these particular shots have the added benefit of increasing the power of the shot and allowing the player to reach areas that were previously inaccessible.
