Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whips
Inspired by the Micro Snake whips by Garret at Thunderclap Whips...
...but with Alex's personal touch.
That was many years ago. Since then I have learned more than I could have imagined about how nylon whips are made, how they function, what works and what doesn't work in whip building, and so much more. With that knowledge and experience, I have developed my own version of the pocket snake whip...
Introducing the Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip, from Alex's Whip Shop!
This nylon Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip has a BB loaded core, one plaited belly, and an overlay that is only 18" long (~45 cm). The last 6" (~15 cm) of the overlay is a Tapered Twist that transitions into an integrated 10" (~25 cm) Fall (with no Fall Hitch!). The whip is completed with an 8" (~20 cm) single strand cracker/popper. So its overall length is 36" (~91 cm) from Heel to cracker/popper.
The Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip can easily be rolled up to fit in just about any pocket. Tightly rolled up it is about 3" (~7.5 cm) in diameter, by 1" (~2.5 cm) thick at the Heel. They crack with ease because they have been designed to be well balanced and rollout effortlessly. The lack of a Fall Hitch allows the end of the whip to smoothly pass through the air with very little resistance. These little guys are a lot of fun!

Being shorter whips, they are great for use in tight areas (like a garage or small yard). They can really be used just about anywhere as long as you are careful.
These tiny whips make a great unique costume accessory. They can also be used by Cosplayers for a fun addition to many outfits. Or simply as a one-of-a-kind addition to anybody's whip collection.

As with all my whips, it comes with three (3) extra crackers. The cracker is the part that actually breaks the sound barrier and makes a whip pop, or crack. So it will wear out over time and need to be replaced on occasion.
A word of WARNING: This is a REAL whip and can hurt you or someone nearby if not used with caution. ALWAYS use proper eye protection when using this whip. DON’T let young children play with this whip without proper adult supervision. Whips in general are NOT recommended for indoor use, but my small whips (micro-snake whips and mini-bullwhips) could be used in a garage, or other small environment as long as precautions are taken to prevent damage to nearby objects. When using it, make sure you have plenty of room around you, the whip could accidentally wrap or impact nearby objects and/or people which could cause harm or make them fall and/or otherwise get broken.

Examples of the Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip
Have you ever cracked a whip before? If yes, what kind of whip was it? Leather? Paracord/nylon? Was it made by a whip maker, or bought from Amazon/Ebay?
What do you want to do with your whip?
How much room do you have available to throw your whip?
What colors would you like your whip to be?
If you are new to whip cracking, think about starting with one of Alex's Small Performance whips. They are designed with the new whip cracker in mind.
All images and works on this website are copyrighted. Alex has worked very hard to produce these works. If you are interested in using any of these images or works, please connect with Alex by contacting him through the "Contact the Whip Maker" page. Alex is always happy to answer any questions.
CAUTION/WARNING
These are REAL whips and they can hurt you, or someone nearby, if not used with caution. ALWAYS use proper eye protection when using a whip. Also, long sleeves and long pants are highly recommended. DO NOT let young children play with a whip without proper adult supervision. Whips in general are NOT recommended for indoor use, but Alex's smaller (3-foot and shorter) whips, like Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake whips and mini-bullwhips, could be used in a garage (or other small space/tight environment) as long as precautions are taken to prevent damage to nearby objects. When using any whip, make sure you have plenty of room around you, the whip could accidentally wrap or impact nearby objects and/or people which could cause harm or make them fall and/or otherwise get hurt or broken. A whip is a tool and is NEVER intended to strike anyone or anything (including livestock/animals or people). After purchasing a whip from Alex's Whip Shop, we are not accountable for any damage caused or injury incurred from the use of the whip.
PLEASE, be careful and safely enjoy your new whip!
