View Full Version : AO on TV  01-26-2006, 05:37 PM Is it just me
or is it nearly impossible to see the ball on tv? Makes watching
the AO the pits...  01-26-2006, 05:47 PM I noticed this too when
watching the other night with the wife. Players hit the ball so
hard these days that on one play, I never saw where the ball
went. Did it go long? Did he clip a sideline? Didn't understand
why one player was awarded the point. There was no way of
telling until they showed the replay.  When thinking about it,
it probably has to do with the green on green courts and using a
yellow ball. Spectrally (color wise) there are very close to
each other. At the USO and the summer hard court season last
year, most of the courts were blue. The ball was a lot easier to
see on television.  Most of the courts I play on are either blue
or red. Never have a problem seeing the ball on them. When I
miss, it is due to "operator error" and not an inability to see
the ball. Let's hope the AO changes the color scheme next year.
