Caicedo's whips?

Post by Gunk »

How are these whips in terms of cracking/quality...do they outperform Winrich's IOAB?

How are you at cracking a whip?
It has a lot to do with your technique/experience.
I have found Gus' whips to be very well made and very "crackable."
There is not a "wet noodle" among the ones I own.
My only complaint was that Gus' whips were a little lighter than
what I favored, but I adapted to the weight and I have enjoyed using them.

In that price range both whips are very respectable. Gus's budget whip is easily the most screen accurate looking of the two, and entirely crackable. In my opinion though, the IOAB handles the closest to a professionally weighted 'roo bullwhip. People here on COW have begun whipcracking on both however, and there have been success stories and praises for both.
