Whistle!
 

I started this season with a non-pealess whistle, made of hard plastic. I was given a Fox 40 whistle with the rubber teeth-guard a few weeks into the season. As of today, I have chewed the rubber to pieces, and cracked the (thinner on the mouth-guard whistle than the regular) plastic part of the whistle you put in your mouth. I want to use the regular Fox 40 because it is more durable (and cheaper), but I am concerned that biting the hard plastic might hurt my teeth. Anyone had any trouble with a chipped tooth?

No but I worked intramural flag football with a guy that got into a collision with a player and chipped his tooth with a Fox 40 classic.

I go through a whistle a season. You might try to chew a little less but stick with a Fox40 of some kind.

Used one for years, have nice indentations in the plastic from my teeth, and have never had the slightest problem.

Geez! :eek: Have diamond dust in your teeth or something?!

(Edit: If you're talking about one of the whistles with rubber instead of the classic 40 just ignore me)

I should post a picture of mine, it is destroyed. My full-plastic whistle has the indent marks too.

I can understand the rubber being destroyed, but I have used the same Fox40 Classic for about 4 years now. Deep indentions but I can't imagine going through one per season...

I just bought a Fox 40 Eclipse. Best whistle I've ever used. Seriously -- it's worth a try.

I just threw away a whistle. It just didn't sound right. I don't chew mine, though, so the exterior lasts just fine. I can't use the ones with the rubber tips. They feel weird to me.

I tried the rubber tip but bit through it quickly, being a whistle chomper. I'd no sooner toss my seven-year-old properly-chomped whistle than I'd cast aside my 35-year-old, almost-broken-in softball glove.
