Most new 'v' neck shirts are much tighter around the neck. Cliff-Keen and +POS are good examples. Our association sells to our members for $20.00 poly and micro mesh. Most officials eventually go to beltless pants, one less thing to remember to pack, the belt, and they look a little better. If you have an outlet mall with a Haggar Store near, you can get beltless pants for $29.99, if you wear standard lengths. We sell to our members for $30.00 and we pay the shipping.
My crew and most officials I have watched, 3 person mechanics: calling official reports foul, goes opposite table, the lead official steps in and says 2 or 1 & 1 or 3 shots and steps back. The book says the new slot, opposite table is suppose to come in the lane and give the number of shots and step out. We found this a total waste of time, plus our modiified mechanic forces the new lead to look at the calling official for number of shots. It's just another way to train ourselves to maintain eye contact. If you have a state association or supervisor, do the mechanics by the book or as instructed. Arkansas chose not to use any of the new mechanics this year but we rogues have used the modified mechanic described above very sucessfully. Later.
