Kwik Goal Premier linesman flags are certainly as the name suggests - premier. This pair of flags has the optimum combination of price, weight, manoeuvrability and appearance. This combination of attributes ensures that Kwik Goal provides good value for a mid-range price. These flags are good enough to use at high levels of association football and are similar in design to the preferred flags of top assistant referees around the world.

The flag has four rectangles - two yellow and two red in diagonals. The material for Kwik Goal flags is durable nylon and the flags utilize swivel design. The flag is removable, waterproof and easy to clean.

The swivel design feature allows free movement of the flag whilst running, preventing it from furling too easily. Kwik Goal has one of the best designs of the three sets of flags that I have purchased. However, when wet, the nylon flag adhere easily to itself. Kwik Goal flags have comfortable foam handles at the end of the fibreglass shaft and is packaged in a waterproof custom carrying case with a clear front and a black vinyl back.

The nylon material and the fluorescent colours make the Kwik Goal flags highly visible in natural and artificial light. The nylon material reflects artificial light very well and is highly visible in the park, ground or stadium. Apart from high visibility, the material also produces an audible sound when the assistant referee makes a signal.

The fibreglass shaft and swivel design makes the Kwik Goal pair easy to manoeuvre as well. That it is lightweight makes it easy to run with and facilitates crisp, clear movement when signalling. The fibreglass shaft is rigid, but the weight, and the comfort of the foam handles makes it easy to move when signalling fouls as well.

Kwik Goal Premier linesman flags are very affordable for the price. It is more expensive than a few flags around, but it justifies that extra expense with quality. Normally, the flags are priced at US $28.00 on Amzon.com. However, they can be fetched for as little as US $17.00, making it a fair purchase.

The delivery of the flag is very timely, as UPS ships from the seller within six days. One drawback is that these flags do not ship to countries outside of North America. When I used these flags for a game on a rainy day, I also discovered that the foam handle was shifting along the shaft. These flags are still a decent purchase for officiating at most levels, but I'd prefer something more durable for important games.

Good price and fast shipping. Good quality flags and very audible when waved/snapped. Others refs have also noted how audible these flags are. I would have prefered thicker handles.

That snap on offsides or infraction decisions is crucial. My assistant's get my attention with stern calls and I love these flags. They also have the neon color squares that catch your eye. Very good set of flags.

I've been refereeing for over 10 years, and Kwik Goal linesman flags are the only ones I use. I've used many, many different brands of flag over the years, and the particular material as well as the light weight of them causes these flags to snap significantly more loudly than any other brand. These are far better than the cloth "US Soccer" flags with the diagonal pattern that are popular these days which barely snap at all. When you're in the middle, you want to HEAR THE SNAP -- particularly on a fast offside call when you're on the opposite touch line -- and these give it to you.
