Nylon Whip?

Posted by Nelson from 1Cust220.tnt1.portland2.or.da.uu.net on October 11, 2000 at 16:10:25:

A question for any whip enthusiasts.

I have an 8foot, 12 plait kangaroo hide whip from Mak Allen that I enjoy greatly, but I am now looking for something to use during the winter in the rain and on wet grass (It is beginning to rain a lot here in Oregon). Does anyone have experience with the nylon whips from Mark Allen, Colorado Sadlery or Lonetree Tack? Are they basicly the same whip? I would not expect the same feel or action as a plaited belly roo whip, but don't want to waste any money on something useless.

Also, for anyone with more than one whip did you get a longer or shorter second whip, and what would you recomend? 6' or 12' or maybe the same length for some double whip action.

Get cracking! Nelson

I have a 10 footer, and a 12, and after working out with the 10, the 12 is almost impossible to throw right and/or control. Where in oregon are you? I am in Portland.....(NM) Indiana Jimmie 16:22:06 10/11/2000 (2)
