Louie Foxx 10' KotCS Whip Review
And on the day of the movie no less! I had a bit of a financial blessing and decided it was time to get a proper Indy whip. And when it comes to whips, Louie Foxx is my go to guy. So I placed an order for one of his KotCS whips in 10' and waited about a week.
This is a wonderful whip. Color close as it appears on screen, knots well tied, a nice solid feeling whip. It has a Jacka transition that flows into Anthony's Rolling Style like it was made for it. It's very accurate right out of the box and it cracks if I breath on it. It does not feel like a long whip on a short handle that's for sure. The only things I've done to it are tie a De Longis knot in the wrist loop and add one of my own crackers (14") which has improved the response a tad.
How does it perform? To be frank, this whip hits like a truck. Doing body wraps with it new is akin to being wrapped by a semi. That's no fault of the maker mind you, it's a big whip! Right now I'd feel uncomfortable using it on a human partner, but once I train it some more it will be a fine addition to my performance and increase the "wow" factor for my show. It rolls out nice and slow and gives a wonderful crack. It will do compound throws on all angles, but as mentioned with a whip in this style "It takes a little bit more body"
Louie has done a fine job once again. I very happy with my purchase and look forward to my next whip by Mr. Foxx.

I'm glad you like the whip! I was surprised when you ordered a 10 foot whip, because I know you are a shorter whip guy like me .
The 10's are fun to crack!
Here's the close up of a handle of a 12 foot shotloaded bullwhip I just finished:
Hollywood, if you think the 10 foot is heavy, this 12 foot shot loaded bullwhip was a monster to swing around (but a lot of fun!)
