Australian Target Whip

[Whip Basics]

Today I received a new Target whip, made by Simon Martin from Australia.
It's an 8footer, 16 plait with a 14 inch handle and a stainless steel ferrule.

What do you think?











Take care,

Gorgeous whip! How does she perform? I've been wanting a similar whip for a while now....not so much exclusively for target work, but just a longer handled bullwhip in general. This one looks mighty nice, and I like the stainless steel ferrule.

Very nice choice Robby! I've always been a fan of Simons work and really like the pattern on the handle. How do you like the way it handles for you?

It's all in the detail again The handle has that unique "Bird's eye" braiding - I love that one!
The whip is a little bit heavier than Simon's whips usually are, but that's no problem... It's a benefit.
The long handle gives an optimum in leverage and really total control. It rolls out extremely well and cracks
straight on the point. That whip needs as good as no effort to crack - a little snap of the wrist, and here we go.
It'll take some time to break it in properly, but I'm in no hurry The overall construction does a perfect
job. 8ft. length with a 14 inch handle. And the stainless steel ferrule adds the sugar to the look. I tried the
first combinations, and all I can say is - amazing! Two crack combos, four, five and ten crack routines...
Everything works out perfect.

Thanks for your comments and your interest in that beautiful whip
