Ron, I also think it's very beneficial. But indeed only when we get it right.

I used less force and allowed more time for the whip to travel. I rewatched Robby's video. I hope I'm getting it right.
ps. I know, next time I'll smile a bit more

Good morning / evening everyone. Hey Sven looking pretty good it looks from my perspective as though you need to give the whip just a little more time to form a loop, but it's looking pretty good!
I say that knowing I need much practice myself to become proficient with this exercise. There seems to be no way around having to move my arm in order to 'coax' the whip into forming an adequate loop before extending, because the whip is long and loses momentum when it touches the ground! Here is my video https://youtu.be/9J2le5TSmAg

Good day everyone. It is ANZAC day here in New Zealand, where we honour the men who fought and died during war. I have been practising this exercise a lot in the last few days. I feel I am improving slowly. I hope you all have a good day... https://youtu.be/czvxUHj_QRM
Russel, it goes very slowly.
I have to take small increments of practice time. It's hard on the wrist and it really tires me out more than any other before.
Going from right to left is a lot better than from left to right.
But I'm think improvement is on the horizon.

It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

This exercise definitely is a workout I feel it too. I'm sure it will get easier the more we condition our whip hands. You're right too, I also find it easier going from right to left. I tried making sure the natural curve of the whip is on top facing to my left. It makes executing the left to right much easier for me. Good luck with your practice mate

The more I look at these videos and compare them with Robby's prototype, the more I feel that a six-foot whip is probably the optimum for this exercise. (Irony: I don't have a six-foot whip! I've got a couple of six and a half footers, but.... And Robby's a bit taller than I am!)

Ok, today's last of the 10 day practice was about the same.
Going from the starting position on the right was a lot better than the opposite direction.
Keeping it on the same vertical plane was the difficult part for me.
Robby said that today he would have some input and perhaps a new drill or direction to continue on to. I am just presuming that though.
Stay tuned crackers. Same crack time, same crack channel.
