I can grab it with both hands and get it where it needs to be. Backup yellow flag in the back (buttoned) pocket.

I don't understand the trend of black balled flags. Everyone knows we have them. Why try to hide that fact?

It's just a fashion statement!

I will preface this that I am left handed.

Left Front Pocket- Coin (maybe chapstick in the cold part of the season)

Right Front Pocket- Black Bean Bag

Right Rear Pocket- Back Up Flag ( hope it never has to be used)

Left Rear Pocket- Game Card in its Game Card Holder

Front Part of Belt- Black Bean Bag

Left Hip of Belt- Black Balled Flag

Right Side of Belt- Mic On/Off Swtich. if I am using

Back of Belt (Butt)- Power source for Mic. if I am using

Shirt Pocket- One Pencil and One Pen

Left Wrist- Watch

Right Wrist- Down Indicator

Zipper- Whistle on a smitty lanyard

Bean bag in pocket is always in my hand during Free Kicks when I am not working as R. Once action happens that does not include first touching I can easily slide it in my pocket unnoticed.
