Riding Crop

The shaft is made completely from braided leather or rather some synthetic material. This allows the shaft to bend too much for my tasteI think that the shaft should not bendbut should just barely flex. I thought (when ordering) that it might have had plastic or something running the length of the shaft to stiffen itwhich was then braided over for asthetic purpouses butas far as I can tellit does not. It would be rather nice though if you are wanting a short and relatively stiff whip/floggerbut as far as expecting a stiff shaft dont hold your breath.Jay
