What whistle do you use?

Just wondering which whistles you prefer... and what kind of lanyard you use.

Fox 40...you mean there are other whistles out there?

I use the short smitty lanyard and am thinking about the choker kind as backup.

Fox 40 Classic? And you mean the lanyard that attaches to your shirt?

In game - Fox 40 Classic with MPG on a Smitty.
In Pocket - same whistle with a regular lanyard with a noose slide.

I have a friend who is using the Dolphin this year. Very distinct sound in a loud gym.

I*m using an unamed one, it's got a little ball in it so the tone isn't as highly pitched as the fox 40, I prefer that (it still sounds as loud)

Fox40 with CMG on a smitty.

Ditto in the pocket.

Fox 40 Classic CMG with a nba noose lanyard.

I have the new Fox Dolfin...."what say you all on this one"...if you've used it?

I use the Fox 40 classic. Unless I'm at one of those multi-court places doing rec ball, then I use the Fox Pearl, because the sound is different and makes it easier for the players to know that it's my whistle, not a whistle from a nearby court.

Fox 40 Classic, noose lanyard

Thinking about trying Dolphin...anyone tried it yet?

I've never seen the Dolphin in stores, do you have to order it online?

Fox 40 Classic on a smitty (ditto in pocket). No namby, pamby mouth guard for me.

Fox 40 classic now. I was using the mini unti the evaluator "recommended" that I change. I use a noose lanyard.

Do your ears ever ring after a game from the loud shrill blasts from that little miracle?

I have had that happen.. but I do rec ball and can do 2 games in a row.. and it is in a smaller gym so the sound probably bounces around..

I have thought of going to a quieter one.. but then I figured out I could just swallow it and let them play!

I bought it ($7.50!) and I like it. I started using it as a novelty and now I prefer it, but it isn't to much different from the Fox 40.

I use a Fox 40 classic with a noose.....

On Honigs, they have the Dolfin, it't imported from Japan apparently by FOX for Molten who makes it.
