EC Whips Budget Indy

Post by auntsugar »

Any comments on the Budget Indy from EC Whips?
As this is one of the only gear items I don't have yet, I was thinking of getting a cheaper whip to practice with.
Please let me know if any of you have any personal experience with one of these, and your views........

hi auntsugar,
I have the budget Indy for nearly a year now. I think its great. Well, the original was a 12 plait but 8 plait looks great too. It looks really authentic.
go to my homepage for pics.

Thanks for the opinion and pics, Mike. I was getting worried that no one had anything to say about the Budget Indy. The pics look great.
How does it crack?

well it cracks nice and loud. I'm not a pro in whipcracking but I think with some training you will make that whip crack like a gun ;-) You can't go wrong with that whip. Sergei knows Mr. Markell personally and he said that he's doing a good job in whipmaking.

Hope my English isn't too bad.

Mike
