Welcome to the new world of the effective usage of your binoculars

Sports-watching

1. Goif Tournament

To take binoculars to a golf tournament.

A golf tournament is the best sport to be enjoyed by using binoculars because you cannot approach the fairway because of a blocking rope.
After a tee shot, a player and a caddie approach the ball slowly, reading the state of the lawn, distance to the pin and the direction and strength of the wind. And hit! One player ball beautifully went near the pin; the other’s pitilessly went to the bunker, or deep rough, by a sudden wind, though the shot was perfect.
Even far away, you can see the expressions of the professional player and the caddie. All day, the drama on the fairway, divided by the course rope, caught your mind completely. It is natural that the number of people who bring compact type binoculars of approximately 5∼10 magnifications is increasing. You can enjoy a show that you can never enjoy the same way by watching TV.
Now, why don’t you go out to a professional golf tournament nearby with binoculars?

2. Baseball Game

To enjoy the baseball game doubled up looking from the stand with binoculars.

Professional baseball is a suitable sport for bringing binoculars. As with golf tournaments, there are repeat hits and walking. You can enjoy both sports with binoculars.
You could never watch the delicate movement of the infielder and outfielder who change their position according to the sign or the location of the mitt of the catcher, nor the hurried movements of the manager and coaches in the crowded dugout. You never missed to see the facial expression of the pitcher who was hitted a homerun.
Some dedicated fans say it is more exciting to watch the practices before games from the infield or outfield stands. There’s a maniac way to watch the favorite players’ movements at the practice and forecast the success in the real game.
We assure you can enjoy the depth of professional sports and human drama of professional baseball with binoculars.

3. Stadium Soccer

It is more convenient to bring a tripod or a unipod to watch fast-moving soccer games.

Since soccer players move fast, you need to exercise your ingenuity in using the binoculars. First of all, the point is not to chase the ball but to focus on the movement of your favorite player.
It is hard to chase the movement of the ball using binoculars. So you should chase a player. Fix the binoculars on a unipod. Wait for the exciting moment such as the movement of the forward player, who carries the ball near the goal, or guess and focus the player who gets the ball of a corner kick. You can be the most excited on the moment you watch the player manage to succeed the heading shoot.

4. & Other

Athletic sports, tennis, motor sports etc.

With binoculars the excitement of watching sports can be doubled. Needless to say, you watch athletic sports with binoculars because you have to watch them from a stand far away. Moreover, you cannot go without binoculars when you watch tennis and volleyball even though you can sit nearby. With binoculars you can watch the expression of each player.
Of course in horse racing, the binoculars are a must to see the bounding muscle of a thoroughbred at the last straight line and the desperate aspect of a star jockey. You can enjoy the drama of a champagne fight with tears and laughter on the victory stand of motor sports as if you were on site. The binoculars, which can pull in the far away scene nearby, present you with a exclusive and original drama. Please fully enjoy the special day with it.

Fathers of junior tournament and binoculars.

You can see a lot of parents bringing binoculars to see their elementary or junior high school students at their golf tournaments.
Some of them bring laser rangefinders, which are admitted to be used at professional tournaments now.
A laser rangefinder shows an accurate distance using the reflection of the laser and parents measure the left distance using this laser rangefinder. They look at what number of club their children choose through binoculars, and mumble “That’s too big,” or “you can’t reach to the green by that club because of the wind.”
Golf rules are so strict that no one can advise the player except for the caddie. The fathers must spend a day feeling frustrated.

A player who sat still.

A person who says that a big fan of professional baseball would watch their favorite players’ every action with binoculars, writes in his blog;
“The game of that day was really crucial. If they lost, they tumbled down to B class. They would kill for it. But they were defeated. always pulls out of the dugout irrespective of wins or loses, but he was different that day. He would not move and sat still on the bench. He looked down with his head down. He was weeping. Feeling responsible, but under that he was weeping. I liked him more and more.......”
Binoculars are not only used to see a smile.

“You never know there is no back number 12th uniform.”

Nothing to do with binoculars, but none of the professional player wear the back number 12. Soccer is played by 11 players, so it is not strange that there is not a player who wears a uniform with the number 12. But most teams make the number 12 a memorial uniform number.
Yes, the back number 12 is for the team supporters. the number 12. So the number 12 is a memorial uniform number.
the supporters who come to the stadium are All the supporters who come to the stadium are wearning the number 12. So the 12th number is reserved for something.
Gee, soccer is a really hot sport,isn’t it?
