That one looks beautiful. It's always a risky thing, to buy a whip via Ebay if you don't know about the seller,
but this is a real beauty. How does it handle? A 10 footer is a big deal, and two ft. more then...? If you're tired
one day looking at it - give me a call

Thanks for the good wishes - it really helped :o) I was able to send 1.867,39 US Dollars to the dog shelter. The biggest part came from the german Indiana Jones Forum. In fact, they brought about 900.- Euro. If someone from the german Indy Forum reads this... Ein herzliches Dankeschön an euch! Ihr h...

Hey Aldo, you're right. The most whipmakers are great people to deal with. The most. And in my opinion, too, the customer service is a big part of all that. I'm sending out a lot of DVDs, and now and then one is damaged. Sometimes the factory made a mistake, but mostly it's the postal service. When ...

I have placed an order with Mr. Ellefson, and what can I say...? He's a real gentleman and absolutely customer friendly. When I ordered, I had instantly an email with the exact specs, an estimated delivery date for the whip and he's very friendly. In fact it was a pleasure to talk to him. His prices...

7 ft. is a very good length, and that it's heavy - perfect! I like a heavy whip, too

It looks very solid and tough. Good companion, isn't it?

Congratulations on the one and good luck.

Whip Basics

It's all in the detail again :) The handle has that unique "Bird's eye" braiding - I love that one! The whip is a little bit heavier than Simon's whips usually are, but that's no problem... It's a benefit. The long handle gives an optimum in leverage and really total control. It rolls out ...

Today I received a new Target whip, made by Simon Martin from Australia. It's an 8footer, 16 plait with a 14 inch handle and a stainless steel ferrule. What do you think? :) http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq16/RobertAmper/DSCF0707.jpg http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq16/RobertAmper/DSCF0705....

Whip Basics

Congrats on that one! Mike Murphy is famous for lightweight, but absolutely accurate whips!
How long is that handle? I guess 12 or 14 inch. With these longer handles, you have much better
control than the shorter ones.

Great whip!

You choose wisely... The combination of 8 ft. in length and a 10 inch handle gives you real control.
Looks like a great whip. Multiple cracking and target work. Tell us how it works, okay?

Looks great, and has a really modern appeal. It's time that nylon whips get the recognition

Hi Scott & Allan...! Thanks for your comments. As for the new edition of the whip basics DVDs - no worries. The "new" Vol. I & II have more runtime than the first edition. About 15 minutes each. On the cover's written "runtime 50 minutes", but in fact it's a bit more than...

Hey Gio,

Actually we're shooting on Vol. III in the WB series. For those of you who are interested in the technical backgrounds - this is the camera we use for the shootings.

Try to bring it again under the fall - carefully. With this strand open
you could risk that the fall hitch opens. Take it back and then pull
- again carefully - the fall. The fall should hold that strand in place.

You're absolutely right. To practice and refine your technique it isn't neccessary to crack loud as ####. Or "like a gunshot"... I think, who likes to have the sound and the loudness of a gunshot, should go on and buy a gun. It's simpler to pull the trigger than to learn a proper technique...

Thanks Ryan!

It took some time to optimize the bag, but now we're on the right track, I think.

The prototype is finished, and all my specifications are in now. The leatherstrands to hold the whip are natural tan now, and there's a long "inner bag" with a zipper, to carry spare falls and crackers. In fact that inner bag goes the whole way down, so you can put in about eight to ten sp...

This whip holder is made from thick, heavy and durable cowhide. It’s closed with a Tenax snap; Tenax snaps are world renowned as the most hardy and durable.

Hi Alex, the whip on the first pic is our traditional bullwhip with a cocobolo handle. It's measured from the beginning of the handle up to the fall hitch - the end of the braided part; the thong. If you want to have more infos on that one... The shop will open in about three weeks. In the meantime ...

Whip Basics

To be honest, I don't care if it's SA or not. It looks like a nice whip and
I'm also curious what you say about it when you cracked it some time.
It looks heavy and durable - and that's what a bullwhip should be.

Congrats on that one!
