Thanks for your insights and perspective. I think I understand how you explained how you apply whipping. Do you wrap it a couple of times around the vertical piece of wood which then causes increased tension on the whipping? I use the method JH Taylor (and George Cann) described in 1899 in The Book of Golf and Golfers by placing the butt end of the club in a hole in a block of wood. The club is placed under one arm while one hand rotates the head.
Thanks for your comments. The vertical piece of wood with the “V” cut in the top is my gripping post. Yes I pull about 6m from my thread spool and then wrap the thread 2 or 3 times around the post. Then I go to the end of the thread, to start the whipping. Yes, for me, the shaft goes under my arm and leaning back as I wrap the thread, give you a little body weight. That way the whipping goes on tightly. The only time I hold and turn the head is when I whip the neck of a wood. Overall, whipping is an easy process but perhaps a little difficult to explain. Hope this helps you.
This is amazing, thank you
