  1. Hey Panther,

    I notice that your grip in this video places the ball of the singletail at the base of your fist. I’ve also seen people grip the ball in the palm of their hands with the whip coming out between their middle and pointer knuckles. Is this just a matter of preference, or are different grips more suitable for different types of throws?

  2. Dear Savannah,

    I actually use both grips. It really depends on what is most comfortable for you. I find that the more traditional grip allows Me to change to other techniques more easily, which is why I use it most often. Ot was also the way I was trained.

  3. @Savannah,

    One of the advantages of holding the pommel knot in your hand and letting the thong or lash extend between your fingers is one can use multiple signal or snakewhips in this way. I’ve used up to 8 signalwhips on florentine in this way. Sure, it’s a crowd pleaser and fun, but I prefer to use 1 whip per Paw 99% of the time…
