Hello there,
Here is an example of the Indy 4 Jacka when it is new.... Definitely 3ft of baseball bat-like action!

And here is the normal Jacka with a 10inch handle (10ft)..

Pretty big difference between the two.

Crack On! :whip:

And… A couple of both types for comparison.

Image

Brooks, to my understanding the binding doesn’t just stop at a single fixed point, but rather reduces gradually down through the thong to produce a whip that flexes in a progressive manner. The wrist loop is roughly 8 inches, but as Bernie recommended if you want specific’s you are really better off asking Terry directly.

I can tell you that the Indy 4 whips are significantly different then Delongis model with the Delongis whips being a thinner, lighter whip with considerably less reinforcement binding in the transition. The longer handle & lighter weight also changes the action of that whip.
