The Duke of Whips

Post by T.E. Lawrence »

Just got my new Robert Duke 10' Indy whip and I LOVE it- Below is the Email I sent him after buffing out my arm cracking it - the em says it all. I only post this incase anyone is thinking about moving into a fine quality whip without paying the price of a used car.

My EM to Robert Duke-
OH MY GOSH! What an amazing gift you have. Robert - The second my hands touched this handcrafted whip I knew I was in possession of a work of art, even more - a labor of love. Even with the slightest flick of the wrist this whip responds like a fine sports car cut loose on the autobahn. I can not begin to express how thrilled I am to have finally completed assembling my Indy Gear with your creation. As soon as I complete my "Fan Film" I will send you a copy with your name proudly ensconced in the credits. Thank you for doing such remarkable work and being a part of helping me realize a long term dream.
Crack On.

Your right about that Langpuss. Mr. Duke is certainly a great individual to work with and very informative about any questions you may have on the making or progress of your whip. Thanks for mentioning that. :D Brett

It seems we all agree that R.Duke is a real swell guy. I really enjoyed staying in touch with him as he carried my whip to term.
