The cutest whip ever

I think I’m finally done with whip buying.

Whips are kind of like golf clubs.  No one who plays golf can get way with just one club, because there are many different ways to smack a golf ball around.  My last couple of purchases were to gratify the urge to outside on a nice day and make loud noises in the park, maybe learn a couple of different cracks, and see if I can get the full range of motion back in my left arm.

The new toy is for winter days when it’s too nasty to go outside, and you’re stuck inside with low ceilings and nothing much to do but target work.

This whip was a special request fulfilled for me by Northeast Whips.  It is a snake whip with a total length, including cracker, of 36 inches.  I got interested in a short snake after I modified my David Morgan to take a replaceable popper.  I can’t remember if it was long enough to hit the ceiling before the mod, but it certainly was afterward.  Now it will never be too long to use inside my house, even if the original popper wears out.  Since it’s paracord, it only set me back $65.  It’s also washable, and the replaceable popper has hygiene advantages.  It needs some serious breaking in, but I can get a little crack out of it already.

Mm crack!
