Since I got these just a few days before my little whirl-wind trip to visit a few whip friends/COW buddies, I didn't get a chance to post these a couple weeks back when I got them, but here they are: A matched pair of 7' "Aussie" whips by Joe Strain. I intend to send them out at a later time to have the silver ferrules engraved with my and my wife's initials.







These are expertly balanced and crack like a dream. Unlike Joe's Lonestar Whips, which use a 10" spike, these have 12" handles built on spring steel, so they are a little bit lighter.

There's no question that I wanted these to be in that "Zorro"/De Longis family of whips, but hopefully, they look unique enough to be mine.

As usual, Joe Strain comes through beautifully.

I can't wait to see these in person! Congrats on a pair of beauties, Daren!

These whips really are as nice as Daren says they are! Thanks for letting me play around with them a little bit last week! I'm just glad I was so distracted by your Performance Hybrids, or else I would have been tempted to buy a pair of these TOO!

Nice whips Daren. I like the color and ferrules.

Why did you choose such pattern on handles?

I didn't. I just said to Joe, "give the handles a fancy pattern," and that's what he came up with.

Also, I DO intend on putting together a video, but I've just been super-swamped with work and family stuff. But a video IS coming! I promise! Even if it doesn't happen until the spring (sooner, though, I'm sure!)
