How To

1. Start with the whip laying out straight behind you, and your arm stretched out behind you as well
2. Pull the whip forward, being careful to keep the handle pointing backwards (this should feel a lot like throwing a ball)
3. As your forearm straightens out at the end of your "throw" straighten your wrist out so that the handle of your whip points forward towards your imaginary target.
