Parts of a Whip

  • Thong - The main braided part of the whip
  • Fall - Portion of the whip between the main thong and the cracker. This piece is attached to the thong with a "fall hitch", a knot with the intent that it can be replaced when necessary.
  • Cracker - Also called a "popper" this is the piece of the whip that will actually be breaking the sound barrier. They can be made from a wide variety of materials and are easily replaced.
