 Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2003 8:55 pm Post subject: nine section chain whip question... |
 |
|
anyone here use this super fun weapon? i'm noticing an interesting problem... as I move the whip faster and it gains a lot of momentum, I find the whip handle starting to get a little slippery in my hand.
As fun as it would be to send a chain whip across the room at uncontrolled high speeds, how can I minimize this risk? I'm guessing a little more practice and confidence will help, but I'm hoping there's a tip or two that will help.
Thanks

I also have the same problem. I either just let my hand cool down or I wear a glove.
Also, can anybody give the proper way to attach the sashes to the whip? thanks

Try useing some rosine as a weapons hand poweder it works good.
It really works with hight speed training. U know what thay put on the bowe of a fidle ! I'm not sure but it might be the same thing free hand rock climers use on there hands to. Use fine powederd rosine of coures. |

if your not super obsessed with how the weapon works then id suggest two things that i do. to fix it cheap, get medical tape (its a rough cloth tape) and wrap your grip with it. this will increase the friction so it wont slide.
if you want to spend a bit more money, and make it look a bit better then buy tennis grip, you can get all sorts of nice colors, and it works wonders.

Yea, right now I've got a little tape on the grip, and it has helped a lot.
Is there a special way to attach the scarves, or just put them on the ends?
