Howdy, folks; I noticed that when I got my latest whip, it was apparently "trained" to coil in one direction. Can I expect this to loosen up with use, or are whips always assumed to do this? I notice that in all the whip care sites, they tell you to store it loosely coiled. If I try to coil it against the bend, it simply twists back to its most "comfortable" state. Normal?

yep normal.
don't try to force it.

It happened also on my nylon whips.
after a little while, it should roll naturally any direction.
I guess that how you see how well made a whip is.
If it breaks in nicely and roll smoothly, good whip.

From what I read, I don't think you're actually to suppose to coil it against the natural curve. If anything, I think that would probably be bad for the whip.

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling better now thanks to your input.

Let your whip be comfortable

Yes, take it out for drinks, perhaps a nice movie - you know- quality time.
