.......for a new whip!! My most recent acquisition, although extremely satisfying to crack, cannot be handled for more than a few throws. It was a 29 foot 2 inch long whip I obtained from forum friend Louie Foxx and as I said a great whip that yields a canon shot of a crack, but very difficult to do a slow figure 8 with .....

So I have an itch for a new whip. Not that there is anything wrong with any in my collection, its just that nasty pesky feeling that keeps coming back, like a mosquito bite that keep clamoring for attention! No matter how many times I go outside and crack from the current collection, it seems to come back at me.

So what is a poor fellow to do????

Close your eyes! Don't look at it!

That whip is a heavy whip!!!

I have an itch......

I will get the powder sir!!

Louie-the whip is totally outrageous-and yes heavy, but when you get i to roll out perfectly it cracks like a canon!! And its the heavy part that makes it like 8 or 10 throws and then your shoulder says hey, "that's enough-hows about a nice 6 foot stock whip"!!

I went out about an hour after writing that and did an 8, 10, 12 14 , 22 and 29 foot progression, trying to shake the itch! It did not work-is worse than ever!!!

I am off to the bazaar!!!

Whip it!

i really want to know the weight of it...

I think it was something like 5 pounds. It had a latigo overlay and a plaited belly. You can see a video of it here: http://bullwhips.org/?p=1635

Hey Bob,

Can you post a vid of your "black mamba"? I have always wanted to see that whip in action.

Crack On!

Very nice!
I want to pick up a Strain 10 footer one of these days...

Nice whip and cool pictures, bobm 2004!

LR, I'd also like to get a Joe Strain whip, either 8 or 10 foot.
