The Jrzjoe whip
These things are all over our favorite auction site. It would seem that these whips have become quite popular, and the maker swears by them.
To my eyes, they look less than spectacular.
I'm sure someone has tried one out?

I was able to fix it, however, and actually swing from it into a river twice and its still all there. I would classify it as a costume prop at best.

Regarding my initial reply: I thought I had read someone say that, and others chiming in, in a thread about those whips, but now that I did a search and looked for that thread I can't find it. So I have to take back what I said.
The general consensus is that those whips are worthless POS.
Personally, I don't think they look good, and the über hype of the seller is tacky and makes my spider sense tingle, so I wouldn't buy one, personally. Especially not since I believe I can make a much better whip myself...

yeah, that's the one.binkmeisterRick wrote:Luke, was that the "whip" with the fall that was wider than a Winnebago? After cutting it down substantially and working at it, it did manage to crack a little, but it took an incredible amount of work to do so. I would agree that there's no core to the whip.
No comparison with the Winrich. Like comparing a Dorfman to a Fed.
techrtr, you must have lucked out. Mine was craptacular.
