Agree with Moloram. Whip is made for use, otherwise it never start to work as it could! Breaking it in carefully and caring it carefully of course but not afraid to use it in hard conditions if needed. If your whip is made good it will keep its strenght after hard use when caring it properly. It too...

Yeah, it's got a loop in it, but that makes the fall have to be tied to itself... kinda odd. The fall has 2 holes in it, the one that we normally see, and an extra one for the fall to also go through.

I bought 8 ft. Red Hide whip from WSP last year and I have to say
it was very bad quality!
Too loose, too soft, no balance. Not good!

As cheap practise whip from WSP I would recommed nylon to you or even swivel handled cow whip which you trim to work good, it works better than that Red Hide.
