The Sullivan Supply Alpha Whip is extreme in every way. Its composite fiberglass shaft is comprised of the highest level of super flex materials that are stronger than many metals by weight. This composite shaft is encased in a black nylon weave material. New to the industry, is the Super Grip Rubber handle. This extra-long, tacky, nonslip handle is extremely comfortable. It reduces hand fatigue and allows for better control. The hardware at the end of the handle is comprised of a smooth, form fitted cap. The Alpha livestock show day whip excels in strength at this location where others tend to fail.
