I just thought I'd put a thread up, because as of last week I've only been using the Forsaken Whip, and the regular Whip-Up. Anyone got Whips or little tricks they got that have seen results?

Fat Man Whip.
Not sure if this is what it's called, but it's good for shifting fat bastards off you.
Use if you have the double underhooks but your opponent is keeping you flat on your back.
If you can reach your right arm under their leg (like the Electric Chair) you can use both arms and the Whip Up to get on your side. You kind of chop with both arms in the direction you want to take them as you Whip Up (I've seen it described as Thumbs Up Whip, where you make both hands into a "thumbs up" position, then drive with your thumbs in the direction of your whip).
It's quite powerful, and can easily set you up for the Electric Chair if you keep the arm under their leg once your on your side. If your worried about getting attacked (Darce's, Guillotines' etc) then pull the arm out, wrap up the double underhooks and start a Boa path.
Also, sometimes I'll Whip straight into the Electric Chair, or to my retarded side and try for the 5-0 Sweep. If they try to base back it'll usually put me back on my side ready to start Boa, or if I can use the momentum Dip Set/Electric Pendulum.
Whip to Deep Half is also an option.
P.S Just found a Video of the Thumbs Up Whip

For me, I use several options/variations. From day one of my training I have always attacked in threes... For example, when whipping up I very or alternate the following (provide we are discussing a static position of lock-down with double unders)
Electric pendulum, speed half and half and or boa... I truly believe repping the electric pendulum to speed half and half is MONEY but if you opponent plays tight then I'm all about boa to dog fight... If you can get deep enough then deep half out vs. Dog fight. It's a style thing really. Work the electric pend. To speed half and half though... You'll not regret putting the reps/time in ;)
My whip up sucks &^%! However People have a hard time passing my half guard. (Gi pants!) But i hate stalling. Gonna start working on the thumbs up whip up and boa cuz I get darced like a mother fucker.
Don, repping the Electric Pend. will help your whip-up tremendously. Also, don't forget your STOMPS... If you can't whip-up effectively yet the stomp should be first on your priority list. I teach all of my newer guys stomp to butterfly to Jean Jacque sweep to mounter knee-on. It's a MUST REP series ;)
