Floggers & Whips

A balanced flogger is easier to throw for longer than an unbalanced flogger since you can place your hand at the center of its centrifugal force. This means the tails will “pull” less against the person throwing it and allow them to conserve strength and accuracy.

Not all floggers can be balanced. Finger floggers or ball handle floggers have no long handle to counterweight the tails and therefore have to balance point. This is deliberate as their “pull” is what keeps them moving. The style of throwing finger floggers differs from that of throwing traditional floggers in that the top is managing continuous motion and momentum to deliver the strikes. Traditional floggers tend to be thrown with more singular strikes where each hit is its an energy cycle.
