Whipworks

Post by Jim »

I was browsing the internet the other day and came across www.whipworks.net
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this website. The quality of their product looks good.

That's ecwhips, whose real name is Jim Markell. I've handled one of his whips and does nice work.

In my opinion Adam makes the top of the line whip for someone on a budget. I own an IOAB and I must say that its an outstanding whip. I have cracked David Morgans and some others and find that I love my IOAB and will bow to Adam if we ever meet :lol: :lol:

Well I'll be, I've never had anybody say that they would bow to me, of all things. I guess I'll have to do some more travelling next year so our paths can cross sometime :)

I'm glad you like the IOAB whip.

Also, I found a good use for the 10 ft Morgan I bought. Since it's pretty supple and heavy, I've been using it for target practice in my basement. Today I was working on cutting playing cards and putting out candles. The weight helps when flicking the whip out when it starts at rest behind the body. I find a stiffer whip is harder to control in tight spaces, though they move faster when you get out in the open.

Okay, that's enough off-topic stuff for me. Yeah, I spelled Jim M's name wrong, it's just one 'l', Markel. You can find out more about him if you use the search feature.

Actually, you had it correct, Adam. It's two "L"s. It is spelled wrong in the Vendor list.
