EC Whips

Post by GCR »

Just wanted to know if anybody out thee has had any experiences (good or bad) with products from EC whips? I'm looking to replace my old Disney-purchased whip and I've taken an interest in their Indy style 12 plait whips. So I just wanted some feedback before I take the plunge...Any help would...well, help! Thanks!

I did a search for "ecwhips" and narrowed my selection to only "The Bullwhip" forum. I found 36 matches, including this one:

I recieved an 8-ft 12plait indy-style EC for christmas(actually, i ordered it and my parents "gave" it to me :D ). Jim is a great guy, and I love my whip. I'm no pro, so I can't really tell you anything Sergei's review didn't. You won't be disapointed though.

I asked to have a 6inch nail spike in mine, rather than the normal 8inch, so it could fit in my mk-vii and still look like an indywhip and not a snakewhip. I have found that the 6inch spike makes the whip move and feel really cool. It just seems more fun! :-k i don't know why 8)
