Whip Types
Bullwhip
A bullwhip is arguably the most popular type of whip in North America. This might be because of its roles in films such as the Indiana Jones series, The Legend of Zorro, and Catwoman.
Bullwhips often have a short handle (between 8” and 12") and are usually heavier than other whips. They typically have an overlay that covers the entire handle and continues to the end of the thong. Because of this, bullwhips are measured from the butt of the handle to the beginning of the fall. Bullwhips are useful for throws, flicks, and most basic cracking combinations.
