I think we had a paid dolphin afficianado around here for a while, but I could be wrong.

I use a classic; used to have a mini (and didn't realize it) until the partner in my first varsity game informed me afterwards that he had a hard time hearing my whistles.

I was probably one of the last basketball officials in the country to go to a Fox; I didn't like how the Classic felt in my mouth and stayed with the Acme Thunderer unitl Fox came out with the Pearl and I then changed to the Pearl. Eventually, I went to the Fox, but when the Dolfin came out I switched to it and think it is the best. I still use the Pearl in very small gyms and I would use it to bring order to chaos in a classroom when I use to substitute teach, :D.

I have two Mini's and a Classic. I switch back and forth. Can't tell the difference as far as loudness goes.

Fox 40 with Cushion Mouth Guard.

Fox 40 or Dolphin. I like the dolphin, it sounds very much like the 40 classic but its louder.

I have used Pink and blue fox 40's. We were using them for the games the last week in January for Coaches V. Cancer. The whistles were free but they were asking for a donation of one game check, or what ever you could give.

Fox 40 CMG for both sports :) Have the varying colors for soccer....

Add one more the to 40 CMG crowd for basketball; for volleyball its a Mini CMG, and for soccer a 40 classic. Just don't know why anyone would use anything else.:confused:

Neither could I, but my partner could. :)

In our smaller gyms I use Fox40-mini CMG but when I know it will be louder or I am in a larger facility in the city, I go with a Classic CMG.

For camps, or places where there are more than one game going on, I use a Fox Pearl.

Anything else, I use a Fox CMG

That's probably why they give us the Pearl then. When we have a full night, 8 games are going on at once

Oh my fault! Good to hear from you Snaq! I've been absent for several weeks.
