Whip Basics. The Forum

Beautiful work, Rachel!
I realy like the handle and the different patterns on the thong - especialy the checkerboard pattern at the transition is very stylish and functional at the same time!

All the best

That was made for me. To be specific - it was made for the WB Meeting. I wanted to teach a way more elegant and slow way to crack a whip, than the usual "Machine Gun" style. "A Whip Crack...loud as a gunshot!" So I asked Rachel for a whip, that rolls out not only slow, but very slow. And I asked for a red fall, so the motion of the whip is even more visible. And on top I asked for some leather wrapping on the handle, because I needed a safe grip. Those who were with me at the WB Meeting could see that I hold the whip sometimes only with two fingers. Because if you know what you do - and the tool is from the highest possible quality - sometimes two fingers are enough.

And now the whip looks like this...
















There will be more about that whip...

When I tried this whip last Friday, for the first time, my immediate thought was, 'I want one!' Watching Robby on Saturday confirmed this desire. I have told Rachel. I'll have to wait a bit, but one day - one day....

Thanks very much for posting these photos, Robby!

That message came through for sure...
At some points I thought: „Unbelievable that it works THAT slow“ The motion WAS indeed visible.

And as pointed out by others already: what a beauty of a whip with its different plaiting patterns!

Thank y'all. It was my pleasure to make.
Robby, Thank you for the beautiful pictures: your skill in photography really set it off.

I was only pointing into the direction of the whip. You did the rest...!

Robby

Maybe there is a video of the whip in action at the M&G.
Videos speak a million words.

Ron

Wow, those pictures really do it justice. Very nice.

Sven

A video, yes. But not from the M&G

Robby

Oh now... The very clear wonderful photos add a lot
I thank you, Robby

I happen to know thta those are great whips. Enjoy yours, Robby!

Well, I felt in love after borrowing it for 15 minutes.
I am not good at whipcracking, but Never the less, I enjoy to see it roll out and feel the motuin of the whip in my body.

Very well done indeed miss Rachel

Thank you, Scott; I will for sure

Flemming - it is not important how good you are at whip cracking.
You found new friends and discovered a beautiful blue sky.

That is what really matters.

Robby

Yes Robby.

I learned that, and I am smiling while enjoying our small garden while cracking.

Thank you

Thank y'all very much;
Flemming, I appreciate it so much! Robby is right, the blue sky and that contentment is the best of all!

Beatiful whip Rachel!

Very Cool! Love the wrapping on the handle in combination with the black whip and red fall.

It is wonderful to hold, to feel the smoothness of the handle and watch the thong as it rolls out. I will be placing an order for an exact replica of this as soon as I possibly can. I will wait for as long as it takes for Rachel to complete because I know it will be worth it!

This is so rich and beautiful Rachel. I think this is my new favorite in your lineup. Well done lady

Beautiful whip! I'd like to see footage of your technique sometime.
