Alternate Possession Switch

This made my basketball life so much easier!!

I have always been a "whistle in my pocket" guy to keep track of the AP arrow on games where I have amateur scorekeepers or during youth tournaments where table personnel cannot be relied upon. So I bought one of these just to see if I liked it more. Here is my 2 cents: 1) It connects to your Fox 40 whistle quite easily. 2) The flipper stays in place. I'm touching my whistle constantly taking it out of my mouth to communicate with players, coaches, etc. and was skeptical as to whether or not the switch would move too freely. The hinge keeps it where it is supposed to be unless you purposely move it after an AP throw in.

I've used these for years. Table crews vary in the level of attention and putting a coin or extra whistle from pocket to pocket looks awkward and a little shabby and some associations don't want that done. After a few times using it you'll come to realize that the white side is up and the black side is down so you'll never really have to look at it, just touch it during a held ball. Small, easy, and discreet.

In middle school games, you don’t always have scoring table workers that keep up. Thought I would give this a try. Was really surprised how easy it was to keep up with this toggle. Easy to attach to my whistle and really stands out. 100% would recommend this product.

Love this. So helpful keeping possession on the court when the table can't be trusted :)

The Alternate possession switch is a great tool for game management. The people at the score table are usually good, but this allows you to keep track incase they error and to not have to count on the score table.

Easy way to keep up with the possession arrow. Just look down. Don't ever look at arrow!

I tried these possession switches on a lark when ordering something else. I now use them exclusively instead of switching something in my pocket for Recreation and High School games. I know instantly looking down which way to call the color (lighter/white or Darker/Black) I don't have to look to sidelines or even hesitate. Pop the whistle call the color and switch the switch putting the whistle back into my mouth.

Refs, get rid of that elastic band on your wrist and stop changing pockets. This on your whistle is the best. You don't even have to look at it. You can tell which is white and which way is black.

Easy to install and seems to be holding up well thus far (purchased it two weeks ago). Much much better than the alternating pocket process I was using. Great price for an efficient product.

Simple way of keeping track of the arrow, better then changing a coin or whistle in your pockets.

Second season using my original switch, and just bought a second one for my pocket/spare whistle. So far it has held up and stayed in place.

The switch holds a lot of promise. Let's see how durable it is.

I haven't used this yet in a game, but I have applied it to my whistle so I am all set. I used to keep a coin in my pocket to switch back and forth at possession changes, so this puts an end to that!

Love using this switch for youth games when parents are keeping score. Fits on a Fox 40 with or without CMG. Easy to keep track of jump ball.

I bought this alternate possession switch to use in my lower level games where we have school kids keeping the clock. It will help in keeping the possession arrow right.

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.

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!

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 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 eye balls, they popped so far out when he saw the Flip 58. He was mightily impressed.

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.
