For years, I've used the +POS 3-2-2 indicator and the Honig copy of it. This year, I switched to a 3-4-3 indicator because I wanted to try something smaller. I initially got confused using it - roll the wrong wheel, read the indicator and read a 1-2 count as 2-1. Old dog and new tricks problem that is now mostly gone away...

Besides the re-training issue, the only real gripe I have for the 3-4-3 is that the degrees of turn between numbers is noticeably smaller, especially on the balls wheel (less than a 1/4 turn between ball counts) and I have a tendancy to roll it for 2.

I also find the double "click" minimum to reset the count annoying (that is say the count is 3-2 and the batter ends her at-bat however she does- you have to roll to 4 and then to 0, roll to 3 and then to 0...)

Picky stuff, but if I could find a smaller 3-2-2 indicator, I'd buy it.
