Thanks everyone. I'm feeling better now thanks to your input.

Howdy, folks; I noticed that when I got my latest whip, it was apparently "trained" to coil in one direction. Can I expect this to loosen up with use, or are whips always assumed to do this? I notice that in all the whip care sites, they tell you to store it loosely coiled. If I try to coi...
