If our instruction on this page seems less than absolute, there's a good reason. The instructors we rely on who are contributors to WebBall are of different minds on this. Most would teach "whip" without a second thought. However Perry Husband brought to our attention the results of his tests in a controlled environment with a Zelocity radar system that shows an improvement with "fewer segments". Other of our contributors, including Pete Wilkinson, even after reviewing Perry's findings disagree. We leave it as an "experiment" for the student.
