So, when I received my whip in 2007, I went out and made it more difficult then it is. I was sweating trying to flick it, and I'm pretty sure I was way too hard on the whip. What's noticeable damage look like? I only tried to crack this thing for a half hour with friends, but I feel like I loosened ...

Why doesn't the Bapty in the book match the in private hands Bapty ? They don't match, the grips are different, and I thought the stembridge had the broken grip?

Looking for Indy boots? For the price and accuracy it's todds! Now, they may not hold up with heavy use, so get vibram soles right away for everyday use.

For close enough long wear everyday use I love the red wings 952, no mock toe though.... And the toes thankfully lose that boxy shape!
