    There is always pros and cons in using technology! But I am sure if its implement correctly that will improve the fairness of the game :)

    The procedure stops the flow of the game. Football (soccer) has resisted this for the very same reason. Furthermore, not all matches are televised. And not all replays are perfect (video quality, player in the way).

    yes..
    it will affect the flow of the game for sure..
    in another way, it will make the match go longer!
    but i think this problem can be solve..
    such as every player can onli request for 2 or 3 replay in each set..
    then it won't affect much..
    the eagle eye thing also need a lot of money..
    plus maybe the player will step on the camera accidentally and this will cost much.

    if too expensive and not suitable, maybe just use fixed video cameras at the lines.....

    Yeah, sometimes it just a simple question children can ask.
    Just put more camera on the line standby.
    What are the harm?

    I would like to know the cons.

    The flow of the game gonna stop anyway.
    Took the times for arguing and everything, drop the racquet, pick up the racquet, some shake head, calling some big shots to come, why not just quickly look back at the video replay.
    It's not like 21 controversial calls in a game.

    Added: I heard football moved on. They will implant something at the ball and the goal post for the coming euro cup.

    No harm, but it's not 100%. The image can be obscured. And it is costly to put cameras on all lines in all courts.

    1. slow
    2. costly
    to name just two.

    If need to review video, it's gonna stop much longer.

    Football took a long time and they still resist video replays even though they can very well afford it financially. It is easier to plant a chip on a football and some device on the goalmouth. In badminton, you use many shuttlecocks and there are many lines and many courts.

    If cost is not a factor, I still prefer the technology and procedure like tennis Hawkeye.

    The Cons would be... we got nothing to argue about!

    China cannot help her player in the olympic, all they can do is watch but cant act. China need the GOLD so badly... they will KILLED for it.

    Plzzz dont be so cruel,

    In life we must leave some space for people to come down the stage.
