I'm about to order an 8 foot cowhide indy whip from Gus at purewhips.com. his price right now is $165, and I've heard good things about them, not to mention they look awesome. do ANY other whipmakers offer a comparable whip for the same price or less? the only other thing I've seen is the Indy on a budget whips for $100.. but personally, I don't like the look of a 4 plait whip in the least. any advice either way on this? it's "probably" the last piece of gear I really need for halloween (not to mention he finishes them in three days).

well for the price, IOAB is a beautiful whip... I sure like mine :lol: [no bias here, nah :shock: ]

My personal opinion is that the IOAB looks much better in person than it does in pictures. I couldn't be more pleased with mine.

This one just popped into mind. Mola Ram here makes whips and also makes one heck of a whip holder. Check out wolfpitwhips.com.

I checked his prices too.. and his stuff looks great, but they're a bit more than purewhips. I placed the order last night, hopefully I'll see it within 2 weeks. I haven't read a single bad thing about them, so I'm pretty excited.

I saw that one too, but the "little raider" is almost the same price as a purewhip but only 6 plaits as opposed to 12. I mean.. his whips are VERY well priced. is there any reason for this I should know about?

I've got a whip from Gus and couldn't be happier. He's a great guy and a safe bet for a good whip at an excellent price,

I agree with Rabittooth. You've got nothing to worry about. I love my whip from Gus. :tup:
