Members Lasse C Posted December 16, 2010 Members Report Posted December 16, 2010 Hello all! What are your experiences from different materials used in the cracker (aka "popper") of a whip? I have tried waxed unpolished hemp, which worked very well, but wore out quickly. Polyester silk was more durable, but a bit too slippery to be practical and the fluffy tip was a dirt magnet. Recently I have tried a more high-tech approach; Dyneema. (A fibre similar to Kevlar, I´ m told, but more flexible) Works nicely, relatively light in weight, gives an easy and loud crack, and stands up to wear very good. A bit slippery, but waxing seems to take care of that. Any more suggestions and/or experiences? Any materials that should be avoided? Lasse C Quote The price of skill is neverending practice
