What Does a Well Made Whip Look Like?
Even allowing for the fact that it’s almost impossible to judge the quality of any item from photos on a website, many people don’t realise that the appearance of a whip gives almost no clue as to how that whip handles or will change over time: the only way to judge a whip’s quality is to use it. This is why I offer a 14 day no-quibble returns policy. If you don’t like the whip when you receive it, let me know and return it in ‘as new’ condition and I’ll make you another to your taste or give you a refund (see my terms and conditions). The most important parts of a quality whip are out of sight: the belly and core. You can get nice looking whips built on everything from paper cores at one end of the spectrum, to plaited roo hide ones at the other. If the whip maker or vendor doesn’t give you information about the innards of the whip then leave well alone, no matter how good it looks!
