"Whip is functional so I gave it an average rating. When it arrived, the gel had leaked out all over the handle. Not worth the trouble to return since it works. Annoying to clean up the gel, however."

"This whip had a great feel and was the perfect length! However, during shipping it acquired a leak and gel oozed everywhere. Had to send it back and chose a whip without the gel."

"The first week I owned this whip I thought it couldn't be better...well-balanced, good-looking, comfy and REALLY well-priced. Then--somehow, as usual at the barn I never knew EXACTLY how--the crop sustained a small cut on the comfy handle and gooey, gunky stuff leaked out. Easily fixed with duct tape, but that took care of the "good-looking" part... So keep away from sharps!"

"The gel provides a comfortable and secure feeling. A word of caution - make sure to put it away after use because if a horse steps on it, their hoof can slice the handle and the gel will ooze out. This has happened to me and you can't use the whip afterwards as it is slippery."

"The best thing about this whip is how lightweight it is. It fits so comfortably in your hand you may forget you are carrying it.
The only downside is mine came with the gel sort of oozing from the handle - probably from the heat. I wear gloves so its not a problem when riding, but it did make me wonder how long it will last.

"Really a great whip and it fits perfectly in my small hands. The handle is amazing but mine did somehow manage to get a small tear in it and then the gel started leaking out. Had to ducktape it."

"I purchased this product initially for 2 reasons, one the low price, and the gel grip. This whip is light in the hand and flexible. The price is terrific. I will be replacing mine because something cut a hole in the gel grip handle and the gel is slowly oozing out. Buy with confidence."

"I like this whip more than most, it may not be anything fancy but its comfortable in my hand, doesn't slip, and was inexpensive! It might be a little better if it was a few inches longer but otherwise I like it a lot."

"This is the best dressage whip I've ever used. It is so light and easy to hold. I almost forget I have it when riding sometimes. I love the gel handle because it gives you the perfect amount of grip. The price is also very reasonable."
