Default Whip ropes

No matter what you do, there definitely ought to be a roller at the tip of the whip, otherwise there will be constant friction and the rope will very quickly by unfit for use. If you can not put a roller at the end of the whip, try the swivel pulley solution. Attach the swivel pulley to the top of the whip and lead the line through the pulley back to the fastening point at the base of the whip. Using a swivel pulley gives you the added advantage of reducing any "side to side" chaffing (because it will swivel), while having constant frictionless motion at the tip.
