Or something like an umpire's ball/strike/out clicker.

The problem I think you'd have with a gadget like this, Brandan, is the same one you'd have with moving a whistle, coin, chapstick, whatever from pocket to pocket. You've got to remember to do it, every time.

I briefly tried the pocket pool thing and I found that it took as much effort to remember whether I had switched the thing after the last throw in as it did to just remember the arrow.

An approach I learned from our dear, departed ChuckElias (RIP), and prefer, is to make the arrow part of your count. One-red-arrow, two-red-arrow, etc.

YMMV
