Why did it have to snow today????????

Post by jayw13th »

Just received my 10' Jacka whip.

And it had to snow today of all days.

This is a Monster of a whip and literally dwarfs my Morgan and Strain whips.

That's what she said. ;)
And a very nice whip. I suspect it'll be a most pleasant work out.

I usually carry my whips in a back pack. I think I need a duffle bag of maybe a sleeping bag for this whip.
I think my next major purchase might have to be one of Robby's WBSR bags

Just had a 5 minute whip session with my whip finally. Only one working today thankfully so have the place to myself. Wanted to go longer. First, it is very heavy and really stiff right now. Rolled out a underhand into a circus crack "thanks again Robby."
:whip: :whip:
WOW I had to quit after a few it is so loud I know someone had to hear it. I could hear it echoing down the halls.
it seems longer then my Morgan and Strain. Well it is a little longer. But the weight of it and length seem greater going into my throws.

Congratulations Jay, Great looking bullwhip, though I may be a bit bias to some extent ;) I like the comparison shots with your Morgan and Strain as well. Glad you had a chance to try it out, The Indy 4 model is a sizable whip that’s for sure, not one to try to muscle around. :whip:

i am loving my new whip. its becoming something of a chore to decide which whip to crack first.
here is a quick shot of my top 5 whips.

Caicedo, IOAB, Strain, Morgan and Jacka.
Was really surprised how thin the wrist strap on the Jacka was.

Holy Cow! What is the diameter (or circumference) of the thong at the handle? How much does it weigh? It must be a serious workout.....

It Definately wears me out. I usually swap my whips when I practice and it is up there with the Strain. When I first got the Strain I thought it had a 5 pound weight in the handle. And now it other whips are light in comparison.

What a monster! Truely the king of whips! Make sure you work with both sides... you don't want to end up having a "popeye" sized fore arm... ;)



Crack On! :whip:
