Serious question. Has anyone on this board been "whipped" with the latest crops? I have seen and touched them, but I have never had someone slug me on the leg wearing a pair of jeans. My guess is it wouldn't be that painful, and I am 183 pounds with human skin, not an 1100-pound horse with skin that is relatively thick. I am sure it is not joyful to be cracked with a crop by a jock, and abuse is NEVER ok, but this seems like pure drama crap.

Maybe Mrs. Mo (4) will. Take enough 20 foot putts and you will sink one.

This was one of the funniest one-liners that I have ever seen on a message board. Well played.

I had a colleague smack my arm with the new crop. Gently at first and then harder. On about the 4th try it stung and left a mark. He could have probably hit about twice as hard which would have stung like hell.

I came away thinking a 1000lb race horse running 30 mph "might" be slightly annoyed or perhaps scared by the sound.

I saw ZERO evidence to make me conclude that a horse could be ABUSED with that crop. If used within the rules.
