Nylon whip question: is this a problem in the braiding?

Post by alafter »

Hi guys.

I just bought a 3 ft nylon snake whip from Noreast whips and I notice there's uneven braiding at 2 points in the whip's body. Is this a real problem? Or is this a normal thing to occur in Nylon whips? I need to know if i need to return the whip.

Thanks guys.

Those are the points where the amount of strands in the final layer of whip are reduced. It's absolutely normal, you can see it in every whip, not only nylon ones.

Thank you. I am a newbie...and the whip is with my sis in US right now (I live in thailand), so i cant judge for myself.

Cool! I will learn well to use the whip when it gets in my hand.

One last question: when I strike with a whip, do i aim to strike with the fall or the cracker?
