Best whip for under $100?

Post by archvile »

Hey, how is everyone this morning? Which whip does everyone think is the best for under $100? Kind of on a budget here and don't want to pay $500 for a David Morgan. 8)

You might look into the Keppler 8 footer. It's $90 and black so it's not screen accurate, but a good whip for your price range.

Yea the Keppler whip is actually a really dark brown, I have 3 of them. The latest version has a wrist loop as well, very similar to the look of an Indy whip for a budget price...great place to start

Keppler whips are a great whip for the money. I have a 10' and am about to buy an 8'.

I can't give much advise on whips, but I will thow in my $.02
I recently got a Keppler 12 footer from a "Guardian Angel", and love it. As it is my first and only whip, I cannot really compare it to anything. I do love it though.
Was kinda hard to get the hang of at first, but the cracking is coming along nicely now.
