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 501.02a Two Handed Flogger Practice with Horse Tail Bags31 viewsPracticing two handed flogging with finger floggers and traditional handle floggers can be done using horse tail bags to hold the flogger tails together while in the beginning learning stages. This allows 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 501.25 Two handed Signal Whips27 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 501.18 Feedback From Moodstone25 viewsMoodstone provides feedback from a live dungeon play session and this video gives insight into practice techniques that are helpful in breaking down two handed whip work, isolating certain skills to provide muscle memory, but that do not translate well into live dungeon play. It also reveals the techniques that were well received on the whip catching end.

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 501.30 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 501.16 Alternating Forward Figure 823 viewsFor this pattern throw a complete forward figure 8 both forehand and backhand with one whip (suggest starting on the dominant hand side). Then alternate and throw a complete forward figure 8 with the off hand. Repeat the pattern, do not rush, this is a slow rhythmic pattern. Focus on accuracy with the off hand.

WITD 501.19 Single and 2 Handed Rhythm Whips23 viewsConnecting the rhythm of the music and the energy in the space to the rhythm of the whip and then connecting that energy to the whip catcher is one aspect of whip play. See the difference, pros and cons of single handed rhythm whips v. two handed rhythm whips.

WITD 501.09 Reflective Whip Throwing20 viewsMost of us are visual learners. Discover how quickly you can improve both single handed and two handed technique by throwing in front of a full length mirror. This allows you to see the entire path of the whip through recovery and rollout. Self-reflective thought allows you to make adjustments and see the result instantly. Then repeat it to anchor it in muscle memory. After 23 years of throwing, my new discovery has implications for everyone wanting to improve their dungeon technique with whips.

WITD 501.14 Two Handed Forehand Focus20 viewsBreaking down two handed technique further leads to recognizing that each hand has a forehand and a backhand. In this segment, focus only on both forehands, keeping them tight with smooth rollout. On the backhand simply recover the whip and focus on setting up the next forehand. Future segments will focus on the backhand.

WITD 501.03 Brush Your Teeth17 viewsThe first whips I recommend practicing with are two floggers. Practice the same 4 techniques taught with single handed throwing, but focus on practicing them with the off hand. Bow and arrow, over the shoulder, horizontal and forward figure 8. Remember your off hand has almost zero experience with doing tasks that require eye hand coordination, your dominant hand has had a lifetime go get good at everything.
