Dear Prismfire, Ladies and Gentlemen;
You mentioned that this chap had a great amount of sweat and a twitch in the arm. I can tell you immediately, he had a death grip on the flogger instead of a supple hand and was 'drawing' rather than guiding the flogger. The twitch is the unused muscles in the arm that are fatigued and complaining. At that point, no matter how much the 'mind' wanted his hand to be accurate--the arm was tired/fatigued and twitches are involuntary spasms.
I don't let my students get to that point. We rest it and switch up with another tool and technique as to relax the hand, arm and shoulder.
I do try to have my students understand the concept of flogging--energy keeps the flogger up. I start with the flogger at their side and swing it. It does not require 'energy' and those who drive manual transmission automobiles/vehicles/trucks will immediately 'get it.' When I have individuals swing the flogger back and forth beside them they can feel the 'weight' and voice of the flogger--each have their own personalities. A passive hand is all that is required and needed even when in full flogging mode. One can go to www.RECON.com/Hugs and look at one of my photographs in the gallery, where I have three floggers in my hand. It is between the fingers and since I do flog with both hands well, Florentine if you will -- six floggers in motion creates a fun mop and rotation of the wrists dictate the 1-2-3 hits of the flogger. These floggers used are made by ToyBag. These wood handles weigh much more than some braided floggers with Turk head knots on the end, something like DeTail Floggers offer or Hartwood whips. It takes more energy to keep 3 to 6 floggers in air. However, I allow my whips to work for me--this means, I direct them --target them and let the weight of the flogger and energy work on their own. For another example, I can have a small hammer and loose grip and let the hammer fall and do its work. If I want more beef/muscle behind the hammer, I either get a heavier hammer and not change my technique or hand grip OR, I add speed to put more energy--not muscle or bully the hammer, which goes faster than the hammer can drop.
It is amazing how fast swinging along side, eyes shut and 'feeling' the flogger does. More energy, is much like pumping on a swing and soon you're aloft. Then it is just technique and aim.
I also ask if my students have ever shot a handgun or rifle. They understand 'sights.' It is amazing how a human thumb cocked away from your head will cause the whip to miss the head, it also guides well the flogger to one shoulder to the other by just using the thumb much like a pointed finger as a paint brush. Having your pointer fingers without a whip in hand-- you can draw a "V" to which can be an 'up stroke' hitting the buttocks and missing the spine and kidney area--then re-enforce with drawing with a cane as to train the mind, muscle and eye coordination before the actual flogger. If there is no cane--get a wood dowel from the hardware store.
Follow through is also hard to get a hang of at first. But, if you understand that the hand guides the whip, it can also retard the motion and energy. Those who stop the stroke once hitting the targeted spot, will be rather 'dead' feeling to the submissive yet, allowing the stroke to continue on past hitting the target--the energy hits, slides off the skin and into air---the hit will be 'alive.'
Recalling a whip is another thing I teach. Having a loose grip, if the slave/submissive moves to which you need to adjust the whip fast--just close of the hand into squeeze shut--will immediately pull the whip back (to include single tails) without jerking the whip and disturbing the energy flow. This can be easily demonstrated by tying a rope or wrap a belt around the bar on the back of a chair and have a slight taunt contact with it--then finger pinch with index finger and thumb--you can see a response and recall. Lay the rope in the palm of the hand and squeeze shut--it will pull the chair and or tip it, lifting the front legs of the chair. Equestrians understand this subtle technique in the reins as well as to slow/stop their horses.
Just some thoughts.
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
