Review on Champion Sports Baseball Umpire 4-Wheel Call Order Indicator, Black: Unbeatable Performance for Umpires by Pavel Craig

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Wouldn't recommend it.

I wouldn't recommend this indicator to my fellow judges for the following reasons: 1. It's too small. To my great surprise, Champion's 4 digit display is only 3.25 inches long, a full 1/2 inch shorter than the 3 digit display I have used throughout my 12 year judging career. I have small hands, but my hand covers almost the entire indicator. As a result, I felt some discomfort or fatigue when working on multiple games in a row.2. The dials protrude from the body of the device and are easy to turn - yes, that's an advantage on the one hand, but due to the small size and the position of the fingers I inadvertently count - especially hits and outs.3. Quality - I have only used this indicator in 15 games, and the color of the arrow and the letter L on the BALLS dial has already faded. Also, the STIRKE dial does not always "click", which also contributes to accidental incrementing of the counter. Also, I'm afraid that the ease of turning the dials is due to poor quality rather than good design. I hope you found this helpful.

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
