The accuracy looks great but that sling is simply outstanding

Thanks, Roy! Yes, that sling is a very, very difficult one! But very good for keeping from tripping on the whip. :D

I have to bow. That sling is awesome. The combination of whip, fingers and nonsense is unbeatable. I would make a tutorial and call it: "The way of the drunken Dragon" ;)

Great videos! And how your husband improved! That is really amazing to see. He is much more relaxed, he's focused and the speed is much lower - better! - than in the first vid. And that target cracking... Very, very good. He did a good job! Please tell him that, okay?

And the whip itself - as far as I can see from the video, it is very fluid. It is responding nicely and it looks balanced. To say more I had to feel it in my hand, but from what is visible on the vid and your pictures... Very well done, Rachel. Thank you and - congratulations.

I will certainly tell him, Robby! When he did that sling, I laughed and laughed. That on the video was the first time I saw it, too ;)

I really appreciate your, and everyone's, help. My husband said this whip was a lot better handling than the last. A better feel, he said.
I can see its better than the last, but I can't handle it well enough to really see the finer points I need to know to improve. It really, really helps to have experienced whip handlers as well as makers critiquing for us new to learning whip making.

I thank you, Robby, for having me here. I wouldn't be making much of anything without you, Whip Basics, and all of its members. Without that help, I would barely know how to plait. Thank you.
