1). On accuracy ... The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. It is also the most accurate. So how does this relate to whips?
Well, this is how it breaks down. It's all a matter of Calculus .I know, I know, your eyes just glassed over and you are about to click on the next whip article. But stick with me for a moment and I'll try to explain it in a simple way.
