Whip envy

Bit of a self-conscious question on the topic of the moment.
How long is your...erm.... whippy? :oops:
I assumed mine was average/standard but convinced everyone else's looks longer :(

Maybe I'm imagining it. Just basing on pics I've seen, not had the chance to compare another in the flesh.

Anyone fancy taking a tape measure to theirs and letting me know?
(There may even be people already done in the past and know off the top of their head how long theirs is - ya'know, just out of curiosity).

I know how these things work. I'll go first seeing as its a sensitive statistic to splash on the web.
Mines 10 inches from base to tip.

No, I'm serious. How long is your whippy please.

Where are you measuring from, do you include the base?

:rofl:

Mine is 410mm from the bottom of the thread to the tip.

Sometimes I dab a bit of grease on the end before I put it in... stops it feeling gritty :poke:
 
It's an issue, I had some guy with a stubby pull up next to me a few days ago, I swear I caught him taking a sly sideways peek at my ten-incher :spy:

The whole thing, from tip practically to body, including the base.
I'm not worried about mm differences. From pictures it's seems like people have got several inches on me!!!
 
Its not the size that counts, its what you do with it.
No point it being out there, standing proud, for all to see, if it doesn't get used.

Don't forget, the whippy is a lethal weapon in the right hands, just imagine pulling a stubby out in an aerial street fight, you would get laughed into tomorrow :D
 
Mine used to be ten inches from base to tip but I fiddled and fiddled with it. Now all I have is a little stubby one :|

Ah. This starting to make sense.
So, 410mm - isn't that nearer 16 inches?
So there IS two versions of the whip - 10 incher and 16 incher?

Is this news to everyone else or just me?
Will this split the whippy collective into two factions or will it remain united?
Exciting times.
