Sowie ich weiß haben die Peitschen von Todd einen Kern aus Gummi und somit meiner Meinung nach keine Peitschen mehr...

Let me be clear that I'm not offering this whip as a half-price pagey whip. It is NOT the quality of a well made all kangaroo whip. If that's what you want, then you need to pay for it.

What these whips are are realistic, authentic-looking whips for less than $200. And they do work, for a casual whip cracker. You take your kids out trick-or-treating - you can whip this off your belt and show off. It cracks easily and LOUD!

The core is urethane rubber, which is synthetic and long-lasting. I'd expect it to be good for 20 years at least. The finished whip weighs the same as an all - roo whip of the same length
to within an ounce or two.

One day last fall I was outside my shop tesing one of these. The noise was ringing all over our little town. A guy drove up and jumped out of his truck. "Is that you? Are you cracking a whip? Can I try it?" I said, "well, okay, but be careful" I said. He started cracking like I've never seen - behind his back, under his feet, volleys, all kinds of fancy stuff. He was a Hollywood stunt man and whip specialist - unfortunately, I lost contact with him, but I pointed to my shop and told him to come see me sometime. He was quite impressed with it.

Only time will tell if this is some sort of advancement in whip making technology. I don't see a reason why they won't last as well as anything else. Leather doesn't last forever, either. Right now, my purpose was to make a whip that works, that looks screen-accurate, for less than $200. It is not for the serious whip enthusiast. There are TONS of whip makers competing for that market. This is for costume wear and fun for a guy that doesn't want to spend $400+.

The leather is lacing calf. It's a much more economical alternative to kangaroo. However, my source on it has dried up, so I'll be switching leather to the best I can find next. With Kangaroo hides going from $100-$150, it's impossible to use it without boosting the price into the "real whip" price range. There's two reasons I don't specify the leather on the website: 1) It will change according to availability, 2) If you care what kind of leather it is, then this whip is not for you!

I am also working on a cast foam whip strictly for looks. I hope they'll be less than $50, but for now, it's still in development. Might be much less.

So, I hope that puts some perspective on this. It's not a Strain or Morgan, but hopefully, it will meet the need for those who don't need (or want) a Strain or Morgan. Time will tell. If customer's aren't happy with them, they can easily return them.
