With your feet planted shoulder-width apart, take the handle of the whip firmly in your dominant or writing hand. Hold it with a firm business handshake. Put the whip in starting position. The whip itself should be untangled and unbunched, preferably trailing straight back behind you, perpendicular to your hips. It doesn't need to be perfectly straight, but make sure it's not going to catch on your leg or hip as you bring it up into the snapping position.
Always start from this position, with the whip safely behind and to the side of your body. Practice smoothly bringing the whip straight up in the air. All other whip crack moves are based on the basic forward whip crack.
