Budget whip from ebay!! Just received it today!! (Pic heavy)

Post by gi_canuck »

Hello, my fellow gear heads!! Just received this 35 dollar whip from ebay... It's a 14 footer 4 plait whip.. So far it cracks real easy despite its length... Got it dark brown instead of tan... When I realized it, it was already too late, but oh well, it actually looks pretty good with the rest of my gear... color contrast and all... Played around with it a bit today. WHAT A RUSH with whip cracking!! It was my first time cracking the whip and I figured it out in mere seconds... I guess the length of the whip helped quite a bit. Thank you everyone for posting whip cracking tutorials... it was very helpful!! Well, without much ado....here are the photos.... enjoy!!

It looks good! How's it crack? Loud? Smooth?

Thanks for the reply Strider!! It cracked pretty loud... almost sounded like a gun going off... I also tried it indoor... holy @#$%... it freaked a lot of people out... haha... It's super cheap, but it does the job...

Umm... don't know whether it's going to fit in keppler whip holder or not... The one I've got is a belcro readujustable whip holder that came with that budget gunbelt I got from Ebay... (It's posted under gun/holster section). It fits well with that one... I also ordered a real leather one from Todd's... ( It think it's the same design with belcro strap... except Todd's is real leather.) Anywho, hope this helps.
