Whip Practice
Whip Practice
Did a little video of my practice results so I could see what it looks like and improve.

It's ok if you disagree with me.

Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Thanks Robert. The only problem after the surgery is my shoulder seems to not want to move laterally and it shows in the over horizontal crack portion. Even as short as that was I was running out of a little steam.
But this is what I do to heal " everything".... physical and mental.

Mastery? Which mastery? First... That's right. Keep it calm and slow. You had a surgery. You need time to recover! Second - don't look after the whip. Feel the whip! Third - according the way, which was mentioned, here. After around 40 years of whip handling, I still work on my technique. Still and constantly. Every time I crack a whip, I practice the four basic cracks from WB Vol. I. Every single time. And the more I practice, the more I see what I have to improve and to learn. You are at the beginning. I am somewhere in the middle. Doesn't that make us equal?

Robby, it may make us equal in our journey and discovery of " the way" but worlds apart in experience which I celebrate with every crack.
I don't even have the awe inspiring experience in cracking a quality whip, only this one. I can only dream of what it would be like to crack a good quality whip. So, I will strive to do my best in making one and improving as much as I can in the next one after that.
Pokkis is totally right in that it's the journey and not the destination. An open ended ticket to ride only limited by the amount of work and self I invest into it.
Thank you all so much for all you have done to help me with this journey.
