Fox 40 Whistles with rubber mouth grip

[jTheUmp]

I use the CMG whistles... I go through about 2 a season... about 50 games apiece, give or take.

I don't rotate them, I use one until the grip wears out, then I replace it with a new one.

At $6/whistle, that means the whistle costs me about $0.12/game.... hardly worth worrying about.

Do you bite the whistle, or do you hold it with your lips? Methinks that holding it with the lips would make the cushion last longer.... I'm a biter though.

If you guys didn't marinate your whistles in BBQ sauce before games maybe you could lay off. I personally enjoy mine broiled with a side of twice baked potatoes!

I use a standard Fox 40 for both football and basketball. Even the hard plastic has all kinds of teeth marks on it. I can only imagine what the soft plastic would look like

All it took for me was one time a player and I didn't see each other and collided while my teeth were on the hard plastic whistle. Chipped a couple teeth. Hold it in my lips all the time now. Don't think biting through rubber is gonna be a problem.

I have a bag of whistles in my jacket pocket. Most are CMG. I grind my teeth a lot so I find the CMG is more comfortable for me to use.

I might buy 2 new whistles a year to help save my teeth.

Also, the inventor of the whistle is a member of our board and has a lot of insight into the game so I don't really mind shelling out a whopping 12 dollars.

I keep several Fox 40's (with mouthguard) in rotation.

I soak them regularly in mouthwash (yum) and have never bit through one yet.

I don't care for the ones without the mouthguard personally, and the only time I use one without a rubber tip is when my pink whistle comes into play.
