Reviews

"I find it useful and it was easily installed. It is especially useful at sub-varsity and tournament games where the score-keeping staff can be inexperienced."

"The Flip 58 alternate possession switch is great. It fits perfectly into the Fox 40 and is very easily installed. I always hated moving something from one pocket to the other and unfortunately sometimes the table is terrible at keeping track of possession. I highly recommend the 58 alternate possession switch."

"I have not used it much, since most of the games I ref have the alt.poss. arrow. But the times I have used it, it has served it's purpose excellently. The description provided on your web page is quite accurate, and the installment was without trouble in my case. In the first game I used it, my co-ref almost lost his eyepalls, they poped so far out when he saw the Flip 58. He was mightily impressed.

But I like the experience of having a device for those unfortunate occasion when the arrow is unavailable. My memory, good as it may be, is not perfect so the Flip 58 helps with remembering whose ball it is!"

"Product is what it says it is, I use it more for no league games where possession arrow may not be as accurate. The switch allows me to keep track of the possession arrow without long delays, or coaches uncertainty.

I purchased 2 of the switches, one went on very well, the other didn't stay on very well. Over all I think a good product."

"I use it as a back up if the table has kids that do not follow the game. I have had to use it once and it did affect the sound of the whistle. I plan to use again. Good idea!"
