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.

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

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