blow the whistle sell the call make your signal -- majority of charges are very close so sell the call. most calls fist goes up yes but in a charge I say just come out and sell the thing. trust me the clock will stop if your fist doesnt go up.
The danger in not raising your fist comes on a double-whistle. In that case, you may be selling the daylights out of your charge while your partner is signaling a travel. Or worse, a block.

I'm not saying never go straight to the signal; but be aware that occassionally it can bite you, and bite you hard.
