One-line definition
A whip is a single-tail or long whip-type tool that builds intense scene tension through sound, visual threat, and precision.
Full definition
The whip works as much through anticipation as contact: the crack, the visible reach, and the accuracy it demands all heighten a scene. Long whips are high-risk and can cause serious injury, which is why they sit firmly in expert territory. This site explains the term only and does not provide technique.
