Dear medievalwench, Ladies and Gentlemen;
A good English equestrian or tack shop should have a good selection of riding bats, crops and whips on hand.
The 'spirit' of intent also effects the tool, which is an extention of their hand, to which affects the whip.
Passive hands are usually the equestrian's 'hand' having a loose hold and allowing energy to flow away from their shoulder, forearm, hand into the whip/crop and apply.
The wider the flap of leather, the thuddy feeling it will be. More narrow flap of leather will be more 'sting.' Some whips/crops have designs on them, the rare end to find these days, are the patent leather hand whip, which bites worse than some canes. Leather hands are more like a leather slapper.
The flexibility of the shaft determines the sensation and weight of the stroke given. If your dominant recoils and sends it like a golf sting, it will be extremely painful but, if he draws it back about 12-18 inches from point of impact with a flexible shaft it will be kinder than a rigid shaft.
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
