Just wondering if you guys could recommend a good whip form your experiences. I'm not looking for anything too great just something nice and solid for somewhere between 200 and 300 dollars.
Thanks
A Good Whip

Dakota Jones, my recommendation to you is save a little more money for a whip and then buy the best you can. I have found the old Chinese proverb "buy quality cry once" to be very true with whips. A quality whip will last for years and be easy to crack, a cheap whip may be impossible to crack, ever and break down in less than a month.
The little extra you spend may be the difference, good luck!

I couldn't agree more. If you would just adjust the budget to around the $250 - $300 range, you would stand a better chance in having a better experience.Whipcrack wrote:Dakota Jones, my recommendation to you is save a little more money for a whip and then buy the best you can.

The elbow is still bugging me, but I worked on your 8 footer last night and made some headway on it. It's just about done! Sorry to take so long with it, but I can only plait for so long before the elbow starts to hurt really bad and it keeps me from being able to pull hard on the strands. I've had tendenitis for a few years, mostly from sports and weight lifting, but the whipmaking doesn't help. Once I finish the 8 footer for ITG I'm going to stop for 3 or 4 weeks and get myself a cortisone shot. Then I should be ready to go again and make some of the test whips I promised to make.
Keep your eye open for a package sometime in late November, Sergei.
Best regards,
Jim
