Ive seen several whip holders around.....
any suggestion on which are the best?
Im sure theyre two categories:
best SA ones
and
Best FUNCTIONAL ones...
im really more interested in the later

Try the COW member Mola Ram. Here's his site:

His non-slip holders are amazing!

I 2nd mola ram...it is outstanding!
For SA try todd's costumes...but not nearly as functional.

Koolness!!
I got my Mola Ram whipholder in the other day and its been on my belt ever since (except to take this picture...)
But WOW, this is a product that actually DOES what it says it does... how rare is THAT?
I went to a picnic today and had my whip on me and was running around jumping etc playing frisbee and it didnt BUNDGE!
Ill go ahead and say this.... when i got it, i thought the leather was rather thin....... UNTIL i saw how it worked... its because of the thinness of the leather that it "grabs" the whip and locks it in rock solid!
bravo on a great product! Thanks Mola Ram!

After all these years, I finally broke down and bought a Keppler Raiders belt. I wore it for three solid days waiting in line for CS and never once had a problem with it. I never experienced whip slip and I never had the snap come undone. If I had been smart, I would have bought this years ago.
I've tried several different makers for whip holders. None of them could serve the way Lee's does.
Lee Keppler's belt and whipholder combo is the most screen accurate in my opinion and also the most reliable.

i use a similar set up on my NH whip holder whose snap closure is more for show than anything.
i take the leather lace, wrap it around the whip to lock it in it's coil and then i use the remaining slack to tie the whip holder shut/snapped.......i believe that the lace on those whip holders have something to do with that....only a guess of course, but my whip stays snug on my belt that way.

Todds whipholders are pretty good. I've had mine for a year and love it. It's very screen accurate (minus the velcro), BUT, the velcro is what makes this whip holder practical. When it's new it looks a little orangey, but after a bit of distressing it looks quite SA. (Raiders) And the best part is it's $20 price tag. Overall, great whip holder from a great vendor.
