#1 Coach Personalized Whistle Customer Reviews

The first whistle writing was not centered on one side so they sent another. The second try was better but still not centered on one side. I'm very disappointed.

The whistle seem to not be polished looking. I thought the whistle would have been shiner.

All those the engraving was very nice, the whistle is too big and not very practical for use. It is not loud and the plastic beads inside is not useful. They need to look into switching David over to a quark bead to make the whistle louder and more useful.

My son wanted to order these for his gym teachers for Christmas. When they arrived I was disappointed. In the preview pictures the names and year were somewhat centered. On the actual product they were not even close to being centered on the whistle.

The whistle was not as I had hoped. It is not one solid, closed piece. It looks as if the "metal" was cut out by a stamp and then folded over to fit together. The ball in the middle looks to be plastic and not wood. There was also a scratch near the inscription. I was quite disappointed!

Very ugly etching... Looked extremely cheap. Only worth 5 bucks. I was very disappointed

I thought the whistle I ordered would sound like a typical referee whistle and it doesn't at all, very disappointed.

I was so excited about the whistle! It is beautiful and appeared to be good quality. Upon recieving the whistle (which was purchased for a football coach) I tested it, and no sound came out. customer service was amazing and getting me a replacement whistle free of charge. When the second one came in, it made noise but not a real whistle sound it was a sad and weak sound like a broken squeaky toy. It is unfortunate that that they could not find a whistle to engrave that makes actual sound. I gave the gift anyways, however, he will not be using it on the field at all for its poor sound quality.

When purchasing a gift, I look for quality, performance and appearance. The whistle came in a nice gift box and it seems to be a decent item for the sale price I paid. I have NOT TESTED performance/quality being that it was purchased as a gift. I was very pleased with the engraving. It was clean and precise.

However, it has a tarnished spot where the mouth piece meets the barrel. Ironically, right across from the manufacturer's sticker that states "Non Tarnish". I was informed and I quote: "these are solder marks. They are in an area the can not be polished. All of the whistles have these marks where the mouth piece meets the barrel."

I would have to say that for the price, the over-all appearance, gift box and the engraving - it's worth the investment (as long as you don't turn the whistle over). But, I would not purchase another one as a gift. The mark makes it look like a cheap whistle with nice engraving.
