Ask for the Original Fox 40 NBA-style(Noose-like) Lanyard
Who could tell me that how to get an original Fox 40 NBA-style(Noose-like) Lanyard? I'm a Chinese ref, asked my cousin living in Las Vegas got 3 noose-like lanyards, they were just made by the ref equipment website but not the original Fox 40. And I would be very pleased to exchange some ref stuff with the original Fox 40 NBA-style(Noose-like) Lanyard some one could offer me . Thank you .

The smitty lanyard has a round slide while the Fox 40 lanyard is a rectangle. Fox 40's lanyard is also a higher quality braid and doesn't break as easily as the Smitty. The link for the Fox 40: http://www.fox40whistle.com/products...tail.php?id=19 The link for the Smitty: http://shop.smittylanyards.com/x/product/ns1 |

Good luck in finding a Fox 40 lanyard, they are hard to find. I had to buy mine at the Hoop Mountain camp store. Redding Trophey in Redding MA, sells them. |

Not wearing the noose. Seen way too many westerns in my day. Actually, I can't stand something being around my neck like it is. I'll stick to the regular smitty -- without a fish hanging from it!

I couldn't agree more with rev. Refuse to wear anything around my neck. The smitty one piece works fine. Sticking to the skin is another reason to avoid them.
I simply don't understand why anyone wouldn't wear the zipper/hook lanyard. |

Aggie, You don't wear them on your zipper --- you hook them to the loop on the front of your shirt! (Couldn't pass that one up!)

Because we do what the guys on tv do, cuz we think it looks cooler, same reason we sometimes don't use a lanyard at all, makes us think we're Steve Javie or Joe Crawford. |

These lanyard are all designed so that, if pulled, they will fall apart, or the lanyard will come out of its slide... so you don't get strangled by the crazy fans or coaches who never liked the first whistle of the game.

As usual this is about personal preference. I like the NBA Noose the best for me because it is not as heavy and it is one string wrapped in the middle with a piece of plastic. The Smitty lanyard (if I am remembering correctly) uses two strings to make the lanyard. I never liked the feel and the style of that lanyard. The NBA Noose is the only way to go for me. I do not have a problem with sweat or anything else for that matter when suing the NBA Noose.
Peace

Ok, sorry, it's slow. I can't wait for the season to start. I've used the smitty for years now; I also can't get used to having something around my neck. I have made one slight modification though - I put a small 1/2" diameter chrome metal ring on all my shirt loops. It's the same type of ring used for key rings; you know, the kind where you put the key on one edge, then slide the key around it until it's all the way through. I started doing that because sometimes it was hard to get the clip on the end of the smitty on and off the loop, especially if the loop was a thicker string. I just leave the ring on all the time, and it's a lot easier to take the smitty on and off the metal ring rather than the fabric shirt loop.
