Hey all,

This is the same one that use, minus the watch. The larger and yellow numbers are GREAT for night games!

I couldnt care less what the scoreboard says...Id rather have it off - less confusion that way. I dont track runs except as Mr. Mafia attests to.

If I want to know the score, I go to the book. I can't imagine taking my time from game management to worry about the scoreboard

All I do is one little click each time a runner scores. If the score's off, I wait for the teams to say something. I then tell them to go upstairs and talk with the scorekeepers.

Wow, what a distraction.

Fixed

I'm ordering two of these.

I too think this is a personal preference deal.

I use the plastic 4 wheel that I've notched at the 0's. I dont use the inning wheel often but I've grown used to to the indicator itself.

I, too, use the Markwort stainless. Mine is the slim version. Best indicator I have ever used. I don't know if you know this or not, but they make a thin version, like I use, and the thicker version with the raised lettering...etc.

My choice also Mick. Like the large letters, no 3rd strike, no 4th ball, or 3rd
out.
Agree with Mike on scorekeeping.

Only problem I've had with the Honig's indicator is the balls and strikes are reversed from every other indicator I've ever used.

Yeah, somebody got the idea that the order on the indicator should be the same as the order of the count. I have used both kinds, but the Honig's K49 (and the identical +POS model I have as a spare) are what I normally use.

Switching back and forth between S-B-O and B-S-O indicators is not advised, but getting used to the B-S-O order is not a problem.

Yeah. Yer certainly correct.
If I look at the indicator, I don't have to interpolate.
That's prolly a good thing for me.

YU.P.
I think the +POS was first.

Apparently not.
