I love whips I have a women right here by me who builds some of the best I use a 7' with a long handle helps keep it away from your horse my arms are to short to pop a 12 footer thats like throwing a 60 foot rope ain"t got enough arm I'll just ride a faster horse 35' plenty long enough for me!
thats what im wanting is a 6 or 7' with a long handle. I have an 8' right now, but its weighted a bit much and wears my arm out to quick.
cward we have the same philosphy when it comes ropes and whips for sure! LOL!
