Yes, when I ordered mine, I made sure to tell them that I wanted a JS.

I have to say, the Zorro whip's pretty cool-looking too....but the price is a bit high for my taste. Besides, it's not a Jones whip.

As I've found, and anyone here will tell you, it's just a matter of time and practice. I can only do 2 cracks successfully as of yet, so I just keep working on it. Once you get even 1 crack down, you'll find that it's a great form of stress relief, not to mention a whole lot of fun.

Should be good to go. But make sure to use Pecards on the fall after every time you use it, as that tends to dry out the quickest. I've found that keeping an eye on the end of the thong for dryness is a good idea too, as that, along with the fall, is the part of the whip that takes the most abuse. F...
