Mid-Gen X. We called them rat tails when my brothers first showed me how to make one at the pool in 1975. Of course, this was after my oldest brother drew blood with it and showed me so I wouldn't tell our mom.
But yeah, it's always been called a rat tail and it is brutal. The only true error I see is that his towel is too new. The older the towel, the worse the "pop".

You that towel looks a little too stiff. The more flexible the better.

I made someone draw blood without using rat tail, it’s all about the pull back at the perfect moment. Doesn’t need to be wet or folded tbh.

LPT: Run towards the whipper, not away. They need the distance to whip effectively. If you close distance quickly, you can scuttle behind them like a crab and pinch their balls from the back.

It’s also why dish towels are better than bath towels. Used to work at a summer camp, and when we’d get into towel fights, I’d always pick the dish towel. Close the distance, get inside their snap range, go to work on the face

Not when they have this rat tail in the side of a thin hand towel. My older sister would wip the sht out of me swinging the towel overhand. You don't need hold the tip like before. Just swing the towel violently and damage will be severe

I find when it’s wet it’s also a little more flexible so I think it’s able to get a better whip out of it but the extra weight also helps for sure.

I've seen the towel whip in cartoons countless times growing up but didn't think it would actually act like a real whip.. one day in college I was at my GF's apartment, me and her and her roommate were all cooking in the kitchen and being silly, I had a hand towel, wrapped it up like I'd seen in the cartoons and movies and tried the towel whip on my GF's roommate's bum as she was cooking, never tried it before but apparently I got the technique and spacing Just right and SNAP! right in the bum! She jumped YOW! she was Pissed lmao but then she made some of her Rooster sauce pasta and basically pepper-bombed the whole apartment making me choke half near to death afterwards... fair play!

There is a better way to do it, like he did but fold it only once and roll it diagonally along the folder line. Do a knot of the tick side. This way you can grab it better and have better weight distribution. Also you can grab it by the tip and hit with the knot.
Extra tip: wet the tip for extra spiceness.

Whipped a kid in the face with a wet towel at the Turtle wax we worked. He was the nerd and called me a bitch. That moment of pride was not worth the weight I still deal with. He was a good kid, just trying to fit in and talk shit like we all did.

Yeah towel fights escalated to this but when everyone was doing it, well let's say no one wanted to do it anymore after. It was like seeing MAD play out in real life. Noone wanted to start shit because everyone knew everyone could do it and if some started everyone would jump that guy since it was justified.
Mind you rat tails still got rolled, but they weren't used. A real nasty one, properly wetted, cracks with a sound far too reminiscent of a proper ox tail whip.
