I was on the Shilen Flag Rotation at the Nationals, and Charles Huckabe had those really nice yellow anodized wind bobbers as well. Two on each lane.

They really helped in the strong cross winds. Any idea who makes those?

Jackie, those were the original Beggs wind probes made by Don Nielson. Everything Don made was great, but unfortunately those are no longer made. The original ones are a lot better than the ones that replaced them with the arm dampner.

I wonder if anybody has a drawing of the internal mechanism?
