Thank you Robby for sharing this with us.
"Lucy" really looks like she handles like a dream.
Mr. Robert, thank you for being so thoughtful and generous.
Lucy has her rightful home, thanks to you.
It speaks volumes as to the kind of man you are.
Huge respect Sir.

It's ok if you disagree with me.

I'm happy to see Lucy go to Robby. It was something I had wanted, but conversations led me to believe Robby just had no interest in another whip. I'm happy and I hope Robby is happy too. Now, to figure out what next year's prize will be.

Right? ....as I diligently bind my current whip...
I have a couple of concerns on a reverse whip review. Really, these are serious things. They can destroy a business. I guess it is what it is. It's not like the information isn't out there...or here. I guess if this news does anything, it makes us want to be even better.

Robby, I'm glad to see that whip made its way to you.
Jessie, you are an amazing maker. That whip flowed so smoothly. I'll be placing an order for one in the nearish future.
Robby, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i would love to send a whip out to you. Would you be willing to do a review, not even a video, just would love to see what you think.

As far as a reverse review goes, as long as facts are used and only facts there's nothing wrong with it and should be about a person's current build style.
A sample of any certain builder's whip methods would also be a plus.
I would say that care should be taken to keep anything liable out of any statements or video review. That's why it's "Only the facts Ma'am."

Robby - Thank You for the Christmas greetings.
Everytime I se a new whip in use in a smooth controlled way I imagine that I can see the behave a little different. This whip seems to be very easy to crack and very gentle to shoulders.
About the bad whipmakers - After what I have seen on the internet, and the amount of money I have spendt on bad whips, I think that, that serie wil become an never ending story.

Jessie, I think I share your concerns. We have all encountered bad whip-makers - but trumpeting their names to the world seems (to me) to be slightly 'over the top'. Robby, I know that - as a German - you always want to 'tell it like it is'; but it might not be necessary to be too vicious about the baddies. Just saying, 'These are whip-makers I would rather avoid', or something like that, might be quite enough....Jessie Edwards wrote:I have a couple of concerns on a reverse whip review.

Sometimes understatement can be more powerful than outright condemnation - but that's just my view....

I do see where Jessie and Robby come from. I think it can be approached graciously however. I remember the video that Robby filmed after Craig sent him the antler handled whip. In that video, Robby pointed out that the transition was a little loose. Nothing rude or meanhearted about it. I also have to say, an unbiased, purely factual review might encourage some of these disreputable makers to improve their methodology.

I greatly appreciated the review, especially the correct assessment of flaws.Jesse Bessette wrote:I remember the video that Robby filmed after Craig sent him the antler handled whip. In that video, Robby pointed out that the transition was a little loose. Nothing rude or meanhearted about it.
If I can't run fast, I'll make slow look impressive.

When done in that way, we learn how to inprove our product. If done in a rude manner, the subject we are discussing can often be dismissed under the pretense of, "Oh, theyre having an off day."
I have to say, and I really don't care what this does to me in regards to him, but I sent a whip to Adam Winrich earlier this year. Wanted to get his opinion. Apparently, it was too stiff. Like it had been bound tightly, which it had. It felt stiff, and it wasn't as loose as a used whip. All in all, it was a "poorly built whip. Too stiff for actual use of any sort." Fast forward a couple weeks to when I see a buddy of mine who performs, and he fell in love with it, bought it on the spot. Uses it in his shows pretty regularly. Needless to say, I was a little miffed about Winrich's review. Then I find out how his are made and that cleared everything up.
