In Reply to: Sir, I concur. Why would you even want another whip so long as DM is alive? After all, NO other whip is THE Indy whip, is it? posted by agent5 on August 21, 2001 at 13:37:24:

I have three Mark Allen whips. From what I can tell, there is no differnce in construction or methods. The Mark Allen whip is beautifull and functions unbelievably well. No cheap leather involved. Once broken in it is soft, supple and cracks like a dream.

Now granted, I would like the DM just because he was the one that made the Indy whip. But for that reason only, NOT because of quality. I will admit I have never handled a DM, but I have done a lot of research on whips.

THerefore, in my humble opinion, you are paying for the name. You are getting an excellent whip, but you are paying $200 extra for the sake of knowing that David Morgan made it.

That being said, I know I will eventually get one.
