Way to go JIM! what a beauty!
Hey Everyone,
this is my new 7 foot 12 plait indy style whip from Jim at ecwhips. I had him use a 6" nail spike instead of an 8" for more of a snake whip style action. As you can see it can out perfect! Also the color looks just fabulous. This piece of art only set me back $185---not bad at all! =D> When this beauty arrives I will post a review of how it handles. And Jim, I don't think you have to worry about a bad review
Thanks man!

Hey great lookin whip you got there SAB! I also have a whip on the way. Now you have yourself a fantastic TOD jacket and a new whip to go with it I think you need to get yourself a fine TOD fedora to top it all off my friend. I know what you said about the hats there down-under being common and all, but don't kid yourself you need the Indy lid! LOL Just my 2 cents...ok I'm off to watch TOD. Cheers enjoy the whip crackin'. Best Regards, Brett

Thanks, Scott!
I'm really glad you like the whip. Enjoy it!
If anyone's interested I have posted a picture of a new Budget Indy I just finished recently. I made some adjustments to the inner construction to thicken the whip up a bit, as a number of people thought the Budget whips looked too thin. I also made this one a little more like the Raiders style, with the diamond plait carried out to just about the end of the nail, giving the handle a longer look. Copy and paste this link into your browser if you want to see it.

I gotta tell ya, I was just cracking this whip (yeah in 8º weather)
and I am continuously being impressed by it. it's so much fun. It's very fast and cracks really nice and smooth. I think the biggest thing that makes this whip so much fun is the way short handle. there is a 6" nail spike in it instead of an 8" and for some reason, that makes the whip feel and handle very cool. I absolutly love my 8' morgan, but it's gotten very "floppy" and now cracking sessions seem like there in slow motion,
if ya know what i mean. If I could choose one whip to crack out of all my whips-8'morgan-6'morgan-8'strain-7'ecwhip-8'wsp(nylon)-12'wspAmerican
I would choose the ecwhip. its the most fun for the best price!
so Jim, can I have my check now....... just kidding
