That tool was a Tibetan Wave bullwhip from Bobbi Holyoak, designed by the esteemed Sr. Grandmaster Ron Lew.
At the time, I shared a brief review of this whip with a few choice people that I have recently made available to the public, (and you can view that review if you scroll down a bit on the link provided above.)
My intention was ALWAYS to produce a longer review of the whip once I got to know it a bit better, but that review was NEVER meant to take three years. Some pretty transformative things have occurred in my approach to the whip since then, (which you can read about in my blog entry from May of 2015)
Well, as promised a few days back, I hauled my whips, my camera gear, and my carcass down to Fort Fisher to shoot some whip reviews. Here's the long overdue one. The others will follow in the coming days.
Please, feel free to comment here, email me privately, join the Mach One forums and lets talk about it! OR find us on Facebook!
Thanks much, and Happy Crackin!
