Playing It Safe

Among the jewelries worn by men, rings are the most common because they are more comfortable to wear. As for rings, more and more designs and metals are used for men. New choices such as mens tungsten rings are very hot in the market right now because of their scratch resistant feature that other precious metals do not have.

Jewelry feature such as scratch-resistant is actually a very good selling point to men because they are more acquainted with activities such as sports that are prone to scratching. It might sound cool to wear jewelries during sports activities but this whole perception might change because of the potential injuries that metal jewelries may cause.

One example of injuries is obtained frequently during games with body contact such as basketball. Collisions on spots where jewelries such as rings are located give high chances on the occurrence of bruises if not wounds. Most especially those with bulky and pointed designs, they may not even cause simple wounds but also highly dangerous impacts that may result to skull fractures or piercing an eye. And so avoid any injuries, whether small or fatal, the key is to remove all jewelries before engaging on any sports activities especially those involving great body contact.

The NFL allows coaches to ask referees to review certain plays using video. The NBA uses instant-replay to check whether a last second shot counts or not. Technology has helped officials in both leagues, and technology is now also helping officials on the tennis tour.

Hawk-eye, which was first used only unofficially during instant replays on the TV broadcast were certified for use in the professional tennis tour back in 2006. The 2006 US Open was the first Grand Slam tournament to ever implement hawk-eye, and though its use has been controversial at times, it has proven to be quite a success.

Hawk-eye uses at least four high-speed cameras placed at different locations around the venue, capturing and tracking the ball from different angles. All the data is processed using a high-speed video processor and a ball tracker.

Hawk-eye provides more accurate line calling that helps the umpire, the linesmen, and the players themselves. Like the NBA and the NFL, which restricts the use of instant-replay to certain circumstances, professional tennis also limits the number of times a player can challenge a call with Hawk-eye.

The Hawk-eye technology used in the professional tennis circuit is owned by Hawk-eye innovations Ltd.
