Why do different falls produce different sensations?
Though one might assume that everyone already understands why different falls produce different sensations, I still think it would be useful to provide a Floggers 101 explanation of how the sensation one gets from a flogger depends both on the type of hide used to make the falls and the shape of the falls themselves. Many factors affect the impact of a fall: its velocity, the inertia behind it, the amount of air resistance, the air deflection, and the texture and mass of the fall’s material. Its velocity is the speed which which it travels when wielded, its inertia is the momentum and force behind the fall upon impact, the air resistance is the pressure of the air against the falls (which slows them down), the air deflection is what fans them outwards or takes them off track, and the texture determines the amount of friction of the fall against the skin. Falls made of lighter hides such as pigskin, goatskin or lambskin tend to have less inertia because they have less mass and are more
