Fox 40 Super Force Finger Grip Whistle

This is a more expensive whistle that fewer people have so it is handy when you are refereeing on a crowded multi field complex

The first thing that stands out about the whistle would be it's price. Looking through Amazon you will see whistles costing $12.99, $15.99, and other ridiculous prices for 100 year old, outdated models. I bought this when it was $5.12, thinking it wasn't as loud as seen in the YouTube videos and other reviews I read. I was completely wrong, it is louder than what it seems like in other reviews.The whistle is very unique because with most whistles you can give it a light blow and hear a distinct whistle sound at a lower volume, of course. I first blew into it gently and heard nothing more than a light wind sound, so I thought it was broken. Upon blowing on it normally, the whistle exploded throughout the whole house and my ears rung and hurt because it was so loud. My father downstairs wanted to know what just happened because it is the loudest whistle he has ever heard too.Lifeguards and other people use it so I don't think I really need to go into how notorious it is as a professional whistle. It does it's job and it's sold cheap, unlike most items. If you have a job that requires a whistle, you will literally be the loudest person out there. It comes with a metal ring loop so if you have something to tie it around your neck you can do that.

I am a rock star. Period. And when we are on stage blasting out rock anthems, you need equipment that is durable, easy to use, and will not let you down. That is the case with this whistle. There are a few songs that absolutely NEED a whistle. Guns-n-Roses' Paradise City is one of them. Playing that song without the signature whistle part in the beginning is, well, inconceivable! Now, add to that using both hands to breathe fire with a guitar or bass, and you have a real dilemma on your hands. Well, never fear. The fine folks at FOX 40 have answered my prayers. How can you hold a whistle in your mouth when your hands are occupied without the fear of losing or swallowing it? Enter the "Mouth Grip." FOX 40 has put a piece of silicone or some other magic space-age material around the whistle, which allows you to keep it in your mouth without fear of it flying away for good. No more worrying about being like Axl Rose, this whistle has you covered. So, if you are a rock god like myself and can't handle the thought of losing your precious whistle at the most inopportune time, this is the whistle for you. Look no further. Sound, tone, timbre, and the mouth grip. What more can you ask. Go ahead and kick out the jams, prospective rocker, and do it with confidence!

As a Line Judge / Head Linesman, I have a whistle on a lanyard to adjudicate false starts and encroachment. However, immediately upon the snap, I drop the lanyard whistle from my mouth to avoid the dreaded inadvertent whistle. When the ball is dead by rule, it's way to slow to find the lanyard whistle, put it back into my mouth, and blow it. Sometimes it takes as long as 1.5 to 2 seconds, which could result in late hits, etc. So the finger whistle is awesome for stopping the play immediately.

Needs a ball inside. Have to blow pretty hard to get a good sound out of it.
