Good points, made here. Especially about the Stradivari and the goldfish...! Loyalty is one of the most important things in my life. I make mistakes, yes. But show me anyone who doesn't. On that loyalty thingie here at WB it's this... Bobbi is a great whip maker. I never lie in my reviews. So you know how high I value her work. And then seeing a guy who ordered a heavy 12 footer, is not able to handle it and then blames the whip maker
(whoever that may be!), makes me angry. Really, really angry. And - thanks to God - I'm german. So that political correctness thing and that
"If you don't have anything nice to say - say nothing" nightmare does not apply to me. And when I think, that someone is an idiot, I tell him. Written, or - if possible - right into his face. When I think that a whip is crap - I say it. When I think a whip is great work - I say it. I am loyal to Bobbi. Guilty as charged. I call her friend. And believe me... Germans are very careful with the word "Friend". Not to say extremely careful. And it makes me sad to see that a clueless customer
(the one I'm referring to as "idiot") brings her down with a completely wrong criticism and comment on her work. That brings me to the whip...
I see a very long, very heavy and very well made nylon bullwhip. Slow. But elegant. A broadsword, if you like. There are crappy and cheap broadswords, and there are high quality broadswords. Is it surprising to anyone when I say that I know swordfighting? That whip is in the category of the high quality swords. It rolls out very easy, very elegant and it cracks right on the point. Actually I was surprised to see that it rolled out and cracked, even when there was nearly too little energy. Which means that the energy transfer within the whip is very efficient. And
that tells me everything I need to know about the balance of that whip. It is possible to do a volley with such a whip. But you need patience. That whip needs time to roll out, completely. The guy pulled back too early; that was the whole problem, why his volley didn't work

I would say if I would think that the whip is not good enough. Or not well made. Okay, what I can see from a video... On the other hand, this video told me
everything I need to know.
In my opinion it would be the best to offer that guy a refund and sell it to Robert. Because he knows about the quality of such a whip. Sorry that the guy brought you down, Bobbi. You don't need that. Especially not at the moment. On the other hand - these moments tell you clear who's with you. And it seems that you have a whole bunch of great folks by your side.
