New Joe Strains!

Post by TREX »

Hello, I had a request for a video of these guys in action so here it is-

These are a pair of Joe Strtain 4ft. 16 plait Ox Blood Red LoneStar BullWhips-(they should be in my hands Tommorrow!!!!) I got these whips so I could practice inside- I'm on a mission to practice an hour a day every day for a year. I'm up to 128 days strong! I'm going on a 10 day cruise with my family & I want to keep up my practice, so Hopefully my cabin neighbors on the boat won't get too annoyed- Yah, I know nobody likes a solid red whip but I think they look great!

Thanks Aldo- They do have a really nice flow & the more I work with them the more they just turn to butter! (that means they are becoming really fluid & supple) I love these whips & I also just can't get enough of that color! WOW! it's like a punch in the face!

Another excellent example of Joes work, they look like they handle beautifully. Of course credit also goes to the person cracking them, Good work Todd! :TOH: Look forward to trying these out sometime.
