Looking for a Playbook Wristband for my catcher to wear for baseball signals...

In the past, I have coached with teams that had a 5x5 grid of pitching signals that the catcher had on his wristband. we would call out a two-digit number and the catcher would look on the wristband and signal to the pitcher. it worked well.
I can't find one of these playbook wristbands locally, so I need to buy online. Anyone purchased one lately and can make a recommendation?

Academy should have them. I bought a nike one. U can use the one they use for Quarterbacks too.

Make your catcher get it tattooed on him.

I wouldn't buy that one. They are way too hot in suummer! Nike makes the one with the dry fit material that all my catchers love!

Adams Neumann wrist coach is your best bet for price and different colors.
Also has three screens so you can have different cards for infield alignments, pitches, pick offs. All that cool baseball stuff.

It depends on how many pitches. We don't allow breaking balls yet so we only have two pitches.
I do this using two hands.
Odd is change up
Even is fast ball.
2 fingers on each hand = 4 = fast ball
0 finger on one hand and two on another = 2 = fast ball
0 fingers on one hand and 3 on the other = 3 = change
1 finger on one hand and 4 on the other = 5 = change
That way the other coach can never tell if I'm using both hands, the right or the left. It virtually impossible to track because it looks like it's always changing.

When my kid is on the mound, we just do the like Rube at the end of Major League II. "Forget the signals, bring it here, Ricky!!!"

In all honesty, do without it. I find it to be a big time waster.

A good scout would have his team smoking your pitchers with the quickness

I would say the standard signals are one of the following:
First touch
Second touch
Last touch
Indicator is a certain body part
First thing you touch is the indicator
Hot spot
Drums
Fake Numbers
Number of touches
Using the wristband is the best way to guarantee that no one is stealing your signs, but in little league, is that seriously an issue?
