: I'd have to agree on the 10-footer being the optimal length. 8 is great for looks and learning. 12 is a bit too much unless you have the time to really practice. I can pick up the 10-footer after not practicing for a few months, and its just like riding a bike.

Good example, but I've fallen off my share of bikes in the recent past. (grins) The best comparison I ever heard from a whip maker regarding the differences between a 12 footer and the shorter lengths is like comparing a .38 revolver to a .357 magnum. Harder hitting and a little harder to control in use. That's exactly how I've found them too react. Regards. Michaelson
