WITD 501.22 Matched Set 12 Plait 4 ft7 viewsExtended discussion of a standard target bullwhip build in 12 plait single color matched set of 4' bullwhips. Normally built with 6" handles, some explanation of why I personally prefer 9" handles for my throwing style and discussion of why articulation is slightly better with 16 plait as compared to 12 plait.

WITD 501.23 Dragontail Patterns13 viewsA look at different patterns possible with two handed dragontails. Using consistent techniques between floggers, cats, quirts and singletails will provide a quicker path to being able to finesse two handed whips of all classes.

WITD 501.24 Two Handed Finger Floggers12 viewsFinger floggers represent a different style of throwing and most closely relate to poi spinning. Similar to spinning poi only with tails. Some of the same techniques apply to handled floggers. Off the shoulder, forward figure 8 can all be done with finger floggers. 4 count and 6 count Florentine are demonstrated.

WITD 501.25 Two handed Signal Whips24 viewsMatched set of 4' signal whips (by Peter Jack) finished with an English eye so crackers can be changed out. Two hand work, probably the easiest and most accurate singletail to begin two handed work with. Static and dynamic techniques demonstrated. 4 count Florentine which is sort of a modified Queensland cross or two handed forward figure 8 depending upon how one is breaking it down.

WITD 501.27 Experiment Part I 4 ft Signals into 4 ft Snake Whips using an English Eye25 viewsThis experiment uses the English eye a 4' signal whip was finished with to add a fall and converts it to a 4' snake whip. Watch and see how Dex evaluates this modification. It is a possible money saver for whip throwers taking the matched set of whip/two handed whip journey in that it makes a matched set of signal whips also possibly become a matched set of snake whips.

WITD 501.28 Experiment Part II 3 ft Signal to 3 ft Snake Whip31 viewsWatch to see Dex's experiment and analysis. The conclusion is while this experiment failed, a quality signal whip with a belly can be successfully converted to a snake whip provided a very slimline fall is used. This will be a $$ saver for two handed whip throwers and adequate for dungeon play. However, realize the performance will not be as good as a well made snake utilizing a fall hitch to attach the fall.

WITD 501.29 HyperFocus2 viewsDiscussion of hyper-focus when throwing a whip. Single hand throwing, I use 2-4 target areas alternating focus between target areas. Throwing two handed use a single focus point between target areas. Watch this demonstrated.

WITD 501.30 Practicing with Matched Double Ended Floggers using Horse Tail Bags25 viewsPracticing with double ended floggers can be done using horse tail bags to hold the flogger tails together while in the beginning learning stages. Not only is a double ended flogger challenging to throw but throwing 2 in florentine is double trouble. Horse tail bags allow the Top to focus on the florentine pattern and not have to worry about keeping all of the flogger tails together. Once the pattern is mastered and some muscle memory developed then remove the horse tail bag and continue practicing. Horse tail bags are a nice way to protect your floggers when transporting them in a suitcase or toybag to a dungeon party.

WITD 501.31 Breaking in Matched Sets of Dungeon Whips4 viewsDex guides through the thought process of breaking in a matched set of dungeon whips as opposed to a single dungeon whip. Contrasting with breaking a whip in taking a basic cracking or sport cracking approach. In a nutshell, break the whips in by throwing them using all of the same techniques you would use throwing in the dungeon. Do not use basic cracking or sport cracking techniques, or even the static bow & arrow dungeon technique. Bow & arrow cannot be thrown with two handed whip technique, only the static over the shoulder technique can be used. Teach the new whips to behave using your throwing technique and break them in using the techniques and throwing style you use in the dungeon.

WITD 501.32 Making a Matched Set of Crackers for a Matched Set of Whips8 viewsNot as important when doing basic cracking or sport cracking, but in contact dungeon play having the matched set of whips plaited the exact length defeats the purpose of finesse contact play if your crackers are mismatched in length. Watch as Dex shows how to braid a matched set of ladysally crackers.
