How to order

If you have something in mind already do not hesitate to tell me about it . If you hesitate  why not have a look at the catalogue of available colours . You can choose between more than 171 colours. 

You can choose one , two or more colours , the choice is yours.

 

I will need to know the length, colours , how many plait and any extra you might like on your whip. If you don’t know yet , don’t worry , I am here to help you with all of this so don’t hesitate to write me in case you have questions about different type of whips , length etc…. also feel free to visit the section whips on the website for more infos and to see different whips I have already done , maybe you find a model which you like. or the most recent models I made are on my Facebook page Silver whips or  Instagram.

Measuring of the whips ( lengths)

The bullwhips, juggling whips and the Arrow-D whips  are measured from the Turkshead knot/butt knot to the end of the braided part. To have the total lenght of the whip you have to add about 80-90 cm for the fall and the cracker. Less on the juggling whips.
4ft is actually about 2 meters (6.56 ft) total length.

5ft is actually about 2.40 meters (7.87 ft) total length.

6ft is actually about 2.70 meters (8.85ft) total length.
Juggling whips are about 1.50 meters (4.92 ft) total length.

Fire whips 4.5 ft are 1.37 meters + 40 cm handle  ( without cracker )

Fire whips 5.5ft are 1.67 meters + 40 cm handle (without cracker )

Do you do leather whips ?

I do only work with paracord nylon and sometimes polyester depending on the chosen color some colors are available only in polyester . If you want leather I am happy to recommend a friend.

Which length is best for me ?

Usually for beginners we recommend any length from 4ft to 6 ft . The length of the whip depends from personal preferences and also what you intend to do with the whip .6 ft and generally longer whips are more impressive for target as you stand further from the target. It seems a bit slower than 4 ft because of the extra length it takes longer for it to reach the point where it will break the sound barrier. So 4 ft is best for very fast routines and rythmic as well for small spaces if you don't have the space to practice in a big area or outdoor .

5 ft is in the middle it is ok for relatively fast routines and for targeting and it is big enough to have a nice svelte mouvement . Because there is a bit more paracord as well obviously the longer will also be a bit heavier . So with longer whips you might be tired quicker if you do a lot of complex moves and might need at the beginning to take more often breaks to relax your shoulders  also for complex moves with two hands if they are longer they will be more in the way of each other as you try to figure out the move .  However all the whips remain still relatively lightweight and easy to work with , be it for single or double handed.

12 or 16 plait ?

The number of plait means the number of strands used to start braiding  the whip at the beginning . As the length of the whips goes  the strands will be dropped , to finish the plaiting with 4 plait usually . 
Unlike with leather , paracord strands remains the same wide all the way and regardless of the number of plait   . Therefore a 12 plait whip has a thinner diameter . So the handle is thinner than with a 16 plait . The arrow-D whip is a bit different as is is technically a bullwhip 12 plait but with a longer handle than a regular bullwhip and it has a 16 plait section on the handle for  better grip comfort . 12 plait whips are usually a bit lighter than 16 plait whips . 
It is also a matter of personal preferences and what you will use the whip for . A 16 plait regular  bullwhip with a shorter handle will have more the look of a whip like Indiana Jones or Catwoman . With a longer handle they  will look more like a Zorro whip  . And 12 plait will be thinner and a bit lighter .

Steel or carbon fiber handle ?

I do handles in steal or carbon fiber . The difference is that the carbon fiber is lighter than steel and so with a steel handle the thong will feel a bit the same weight as the handle or the handle will feel heavier than the thong( flexible part of the whip ) . With carbon fiber the handle will feel lighter and the thong will feel heavier .This is mostly a matter of personnal preferences , both goes but some people prefer to have a heavier handle and some people tends to prefer a heavier thonvg . Heavier thong for me is good for feeling the thong for moves like sidearm flicks , 4 corners etc , so it might give a better feel of the whole whip . I like steel handle better for volleys though . Also if you are planning a lot of throws , a lighter handle will make less pain when it lands accidentaly on your head

Waiting time

The waiting time for orders vary if I have a lot of orders before yours or not so don’t hesitate to ask what is the current waiting time. It can vary between 1 week to 10-12 weeks or more.

Express order : In case you need your whip real quick , there might be the possibility ( depending on the availability)to pass an express order . Express order usually take one week until the whip is ready , cost 50 euros extra per whip (except for juggling whips where it is 50 euros extra on the total) and can only be done with colours I have in stock.

Payment

For the method of payment I usually prefer bank transfer when possible , however can be done through Paypal too.
Also I can send you a link for you to pay directly via credit card ( via the secure website of Stripe ). If you have another preferred payment method , do not hesitate to let me know.

Wise transfers is a good method for international payments for example .

I do not need payment in advance , however I request the payment to be done when your whip is ready to be sent. When I have your whip ready I will make a picture of it and sent it to you to see the final result.

If you need an invoice , please send me your billing address.( form down below )

Will I have to pay additional taxes like border fees and import taxes?

The package will be sent from a EU country so there is no additional taxes for other EU members countries.

We get it, ordering a product you haven't tried is not always optimal. Therefore, if you are not entirely satisfied with your whip , you can choose to return it during 14 days . You can then either ask for a refund or exchange it if possible for another whip. Shipping costs both ways will remain at the customer 's charge.
