I'd recommend Honig's. I don't know if they have the best price or not, but they are reliable and knowledgeable---absolutely great to deal with.

Agreed. I've also had good luck with Between the Lines (http://www.btlofficialsgear.com) and Gerry Davis (http://www.gerrydavis.com).

From your screen name, it appears you are from Illinois. What part?

I'ved used all three and all very competitive and good service.

I've had very good luck with Between the Lines. I have also had good luck with Get Official... or whatever the actual name is. It's the company that took over the the Fed stopped selling stuff.

By the way, you need to be careful. All of these places usually offer starter packages. The funniest starter package I found was from +POS. They stated they offered everything you needed to walk out onto the court. The problem was that the package didn't include any shoes.

I've really had good luck with every place I've ordered on the internet. At times the Official's Choice has had slow service, but I've been pretty lucky with them. This year I got the majority of my stuff from Gerry Davis. I'm particular about getting Cliff Keen shirts just because I'm a pretty boy and I like the way those shirts fit me best.

I've used this company a couple of time. I was very pleased with their service.

I tell ya what....nothing gets by TJ, that's for sure!

Whatever you do, don't buy from +POS. I've given them numerous opportunites but their quality is poor and their service is lousy.

Honigs is usually competitively priced and their service is excellent.

However, I like Sansabelt slacks, which I get from DDD Officials Wear, near Charlotte.

I buy a lot from www.purchaseofficials.com there's a buddy near me that owns a distributorship - but everything I purchase from them is good.

Depends on who you ask, I say it's not worth it. But you can decide for yourself. Here are a few threads discussing it.

New Season, New Gear...

New Whistle Poll

New Whistle?

has anyone used pro-ref.com? I am having trouble deciding weather or not to go with pro-ref.com which is a little cheaper or between the lines. Any thoughts???

I've never used Pro-Ref, however, I just looked at it...looks ok. Between The Lines is a great place to shop. I've used them a few times and been 100% happy!
