Happy Saturday everyone!
So I was in the backyard of a friends house last night practicing whip and working on a few new things with my stocks and then attempting to translate them onto my bull whip.
And then, it dawned on me:
I'm really noticing more and more these days that there is a major difference between my stocks and my bull whips.
For example, with the stocks doing things like Volleys and the Tasmanian Cut-Back are so much easier then when I do them with my bull. This would presumablely be the result of the different compositions of the bodies of the whips.
You see, with the bull whip, the handle sort of extends INTO the length of the whip. When I think about what a whip looks like, this is what I imagine. I suppose, in a way, the bull whip is the "traditional" image that comes to mind when you think about what a whip is. (This is probably thanks to such movies as Indiana Jones but a true analysis of this would require a lot more research and time. )
Stock whips have this long handle that have a definite end where the rest of the whip begins. There is a knot at the tip of the handle that makes the handle of the whip feel like a "magic wand". The body of the whip "hinges" on the "wand" much like those silly ribbon wands that many, myself included, used to play with when we were little.
At any rate, I find it fascinating how a small change like the length of the handle can not only effect the entire whip but also how the whip handles.
Hoping to get some video-taping in next weekend. Expect more videos soon.
Until next time,
