 Big
Foot
This
is, essentially a boot sole-on-a-stick. This wide thick, stiff leather
paddle on a turned-wood handle is a fast and effective fanny warmer
that "paints the barn red" with speed and efficiency.
Surprisingly, it is less severe than its narrower cousin,
the Little Foot.
Now
you have your choice of boot-sole, flexible harness leather, or
a two-layer slapper style.
The
uncommon boot sole leather that is standard for this item was chosen
so that you can retain control during warm-up, tapping or hittling
lightly until you are ready to turn up the heat. However, this leather
will not bend past a certain point without cracking.
If
your technique includes plenty of follow-through you may want to
order the more limber harness leather. It will sacrifice some control
at the “low end” but will allow you to swing freely without harming
the leather.
 The
Little Foot
This
is a narrower version of the Big Foot. Paradoxically, the
smaller size makes for a much sharper effect -- although over a
smaller area.
You
have the same leather choices and color options as for the Big
one. The heavier boot sole is more "thuddy"; the flexible
harness leather more sting-y. As with the larger one, the double-layer
slapper style mitigates the impact while creating more sound. (Good
at clubs; bad for hotels with thin walls.)
The
double layer mitigates the impact ... somewhat ... while
emitting a satisfying slapping sound that has onlookers turning
their heads. Also
see our two-layer Sensual Slapstick
and the
Traditional Slapper
if you like a sound-maker.
