Its leather and approx 6 feet in length with a split tail on the business end.

If it looks like a singletail but has a split tail at the end, I wonder if it's a quirt. It seems a bit long for a quirt though. It is a quirt if the tail is made of thick leather. It will not crack and will be easier to use than a buillwhip. In that event, what is most important is to have a sense for its intensity, and for where on the body to aim. If it is indeed a bullwhip, I will let others comment.

Regardless of what type of implement it is, to get a sense for intensity, one can use the implement on self, or start slow with a submissive and use a 1-10 rating system to find out how hard it can be used.

Generally places with muscle mass are the areas to hit: buttocks, upperback, legs, arms, chest. For a singletail, the larger muscle areas are better because they leave more room to slip with the aim without harmful consequences. A wrap shot (a shot where the whip lands near the edge of the torso or body part and wraps around to hit it along the side or the surface facing away from you) is considered bad technique and dangerous unless it is done intentionally in a controlled manner.

Cheers,

Sea

Do NOT start learning to use a whip using a human target. Read what Emperor said many times. If in the Atlanta area, look up Boomer. Don't worry about making it crack. Concentrate on hitting your target with the intensity/penetration that you desire. A well built whip will crack with very little effort. Learn to hit lightly with control. Then learn to CONTROL the depth and intensity of the strike.
Like Emperor, I am amazed at the amount of poor information advice that has been dished out on here. Find a reputable authority with whips. Ask questions, watch and learn. PRACTICE, PRACTICE AND PRACTICE. When you think you are good....practice more. Then have fun.

I have an 11' bullwhip. and in NYC there is almost NEVER enough room to use it... with that said:

I often use it like I would use a flogger (choke up to about 1.5 feet and swing)

its a bull whip. that leather wrapped handle is a great thuddy implement that can make your sub Jump in the air.

11' or even 6 feet can be quite fun to wrap around a person and use as a rope/harness to pull that person around a bit.

now my whip is well past the point of Retiring it... it was crap to begin with, I bought it when I was 12, way to young to know how to take care of it... but Its still got plenty of use in it...and since I'm not afraid of ruining it as a "whip" i get to use it however I want. ( and yes I can still hit someone in the ass from 11-13 feet away :)

Cheers

I just bought an "Australian Sheep Whip" at Stockholms last week. Honestly, I bought it more as a prop for photos because the dark chocolate color of the tail matched my new spurs and the boots that the TWO ungrateful subs neglected to send after they promised that they would... (oh, that's another story)... Are these things useful for anything else? It has the long wooden handle and a 6 foot braided nylon tail.

If a wooden Spoon can be useful I'm sure a long wooden handle can be as well... and well 6 feet of anything flexible can be useful for holding in both hands and flinging over someone and pulling them in close:)

creativity is definitely sexy!

Im behind on this, but I do not reccommend anything more than eye safety gear when learning how to use a whip with the intention of eventual human targets. If you are using a whip with the intention of using it on a human target you need to know what a mistake feels like and you should probably learn what it feels like to be hit intentionally too. If you aren't able to be your own victim, then you are not ready to have another human be your victim. My first night with my 75 dollar piece of junk bullwhip I was rather happy with the marks of love on my body. Three people watching from just over 10 feet away had no clue I had caught myself several times until I landed one square in the family jewels .... ok protect the puppybits along with your safety glasses if you are handling your whip wearing thin slacks. The sting from my failed attempts has brought me to a new found love and an art form I cant get enough of.

If you dont know what you are doing, dont start out cheap and dont spend your money on a super high quality toy yet. Im still moving on up ... to Axel Wright and Si Davey (danget I want something longer than what Axel makes to play with also)

Welcome aboard! Post often.

I never did get outside with that new sheep whip... never got the photos done... never got any 'sheep' volunteers to show up. *sigh* Oh well, Halloween is over, I can start scheduling things again.

Sunny > i have several whips and single tails though only one has the cracker braided into it , all the others have replaceable crackers . As this tool can exchange fluids aka blood transfer the braided cracker is only used upon me , by a trusted wielder .When i use a whip on another the cracker is replaced and its easy to do .
As far as using a velvet pillow sure that can work yet i am cheap and was going through too many pillows when first learning and switched to cheap garage sale fuzzy stuffed animals lol the muppets seemed to like it too . and they were 5 cents to a dollar .

I used those 70's leather puffs from garage sales a lot, put some chalk on the whip so you see exactly where you are hitting.

Bullwhips just need a lot of space to practise, single tails make a lot more sense for me, plus they are easier to control. With a bullwhip, definitely use glasses and be covered up when you first try it out. They do look great and all, but unless you have a large space where you can practise and a large space where you can actually use it on somebody (most people aren't too keen on entertaining the neighborhood) they are fairly impractical.

I do not know where you are located but here in Dallas is a fellow named Sebastian who gives demos and runs a whip crackers group.. he gives demos at many leather events if you can get to one of those you will learn all you need to know.

As an FYI, there's a lifestyle singletail group that meets on the 1st Sat of each month here in Dallas. There are other non-lifestyle singletail groups around as well.

That said, I've enjoyed being wrapped by singletails and not having them used on me with only their tips. Wrapping someone with a singletail is probably one of the easiest ways to start to learn to use one on a human target. With a good quality one, the feel can be really nice for the sub.
