Whistles
 

I am looking to buy some new whistles for summer leagues and next season. Does anyone know any good deals going on right now or simply a good place to order them from? Thanks!

Last time I ordered, Honig's gave discounts for ordering 3 or more whistles. You could check and see if they're still offering that.

Check out Official's Choice :cool: http://theofficialschoice.com/

Here's another one that has pretty good pricing as well! http://www.kiefer.com/Kiefer/product...188FCE4419AB77

I always order mine directly from Fox 40. I've gotten classics, minis, CMGs, and Mini CMGs some black, some white.

What do you use the white ones for?

Volleyball :cool:

But only for volleyball games in between Memorial Day and Labor Day, right?

Excellent. :D

BTW - you can also use them to officiate croquet.

go to www.canterburybasketball.co.nz referee link and you may be unterested in a yellow whistle programme we run

umm.obviously that should read interested!

In FEEBLE, do you use metric Fox 40s? I guess they would be Fox 73.98583s or something like that. :confused:

I buy from Torch's Referee & Umpire Supplies at http://www.OfficialsSupplies.com. Tell Torch I sent you.

The Loudest whistle on the market!

"Dolfin Pro" pealess whistle. The unique shape generates the sharp and quick sound, and also helps maximize the penetrating sound.
Made in Japan by Molten. Imported and distributed in North America by Fox-40. The Fox-40 logo is printed on the whistle

I still have not gotten anyone to explain to me what this actually means.

Hmm.

And we get upset with the shoe guy/gal/robot when they post here selling stuff...

:D

Sorry,am older than the introduction of metric-one of the sad over 40's who still thinks in feet and inches.

My contact for fox 40 costs me $6 NZ-how does this compare with you guys prices?

I got some off of EBay.

Depends on where you buy them. The prices mostly range from $4.50-$5.75/whistle.

I believe that's a term used in the adult entertainment industry.:D

I pay $10.00 (AUD) for a fox forty mini - with mouthgaurd. I pay $19.00 (AUD) for a fox forty classic - with mouthgaurd; and $10.00 without. I kind of get ripped off.

I've bought from these guys a couple of times and had good luck.

Cleefy,try Bill Norwood at sportsline in Melbourne -he ships anywhere.$6 nz is about $5.50 Aud

Not trying to be a jerk or a smart-a$$, but how many whistles do you need? I've been using the same Fox-40 for the last 2+ seasons (at least 100 games) and it's still in excellent condition. And yes, I wash it after every game, so it's not all crusty and nasty.

Now I always carry a couple extra whistles & lanyards just in case the one I'm using breaks (though that has never happened in my 7 years of officiating), but at least twice a year I end up loaning/giving one or the other to a partner who has forgotten or can't find his/hers.

well that exactly what I need them for. Extra and spares. I get the Fox 40 CMG and I chew the heck out of them so its always nice to have some new ones.

The same whistle for 2 years? Ewwwwwweeee. :D

Peace

Yes, but those whistles are always cleaned and sterile. Don’t you still have the same underwear of 2 years ago? Tide and bleach removes those challenging stains or germs, right? :D

You wash your underwear at the beach??? :confused:

Uhhhh, noooooo.

I saw a report the other day on the local news about reusing water bottles and how there are germs still left on the bottles even if attempting to clean them on a regular basis. Now I am not saying that this is identical, but you might not be cleaning your whistle as well as you think you are. Then again, that is why I am not holding on to a whistle for 2 years. I might use two or three over a season. They do not cost that much money. ;)

Peace

Germs are everywhere but why belittle those that choose to thoroughly clean and reuse a whistle? You might as well throw away your dishes and utensils every 2 years, and everything else... they do not cost that much money.

My plates are not plastic. :rolleyes:

Peace

I wash my whistle in hot water with dish detergent and then put it in a dish of listermint. Yeah, I know I'm over the top...what can I say. And yeah, whistles are cheap, but if it's still working why would I stop using it?

Now I have worked with guys who rarely/never wash their whistles...that's just nasty. :eek:

I rinse my whistles a lot too. I also put anti-bacterial soap on them and I have dipped them in Listerine. Just after a while they become chipped, they do not sound like they once did and build-up becomes harder to clean. But to keep them for two years without using another whistle. As Cleveland say, "That's just nasty." :)

Peace

Good! Your doctor was wise to have used metal plates to repair those holes. :p
