Here is my 62nd whip, a 7-ft, 2-belly, TT core, paracord bull. This whip has a 13-inch handle, a 30-inch weighted double-loop core, and a 10-inch cracker of B55 polyester bowstring material. The heel is weighted with lead and covered with an 8-lead by 5-bight THK and the transition knot is a 4x5 THK over a Spanish Ring Knot base.

Mark, I have just noticed that you're wearing one of Tyler's T-shirts.
It looks real good.
