Re: My whip journey so far :)
Thanks Ross. I was thinking the braid might be more of a transition in flexibility, the tradeoff being a slight bit of bulk. Will try the 4 point some day.

Whip #33 this is 8ft tan and another customer order budget Bullwhip (these are certainly popular 
)
It rolls out well and cracks like thunder!

Good job Ross.
Especially after having no time to plait in the recent past.
It's like a lot of things. Use or loose it.
You didn't loose a thing.

Whip #34 my first attempt at a performance hybrid whip with a little personal twist this has a 16" bamboo handle & a 5ft thong with a twisted taper. 18" fall and 6" cracker.
It cracks easily and flows out nicely

Whip #35 this is a 12 plait 6ft budget Bullwhip in chocolate brown with a wooden concho featuring my logo. This will now be standard in all my whips unless they have the custom 'initial' concho
