A shot from a non-hinged weapon that is blocked, but the non-hinged weapon bends around the block to strike an
 
opponent. These shots are common from exceptionally small weapon cores, or very long weapons, and should not be
 
taken. This is not to be confused with your opponent pivoting or ‘wrapping’ a shot around your block using your weapon
 
as a fulcrum. Whipping only applies when the core of the weapon itself bends around a block, enabling a shot that would
 
have otherwise been stopped.

A reeve or Champion may deem a weapon unsafe for use even though it may meet the technical construction requirements.

Currently this is not addressed in the V8 Rulebook. There has been an official clarification regarding whipping found here: [Overly Flexible/Breakable Weapons]

Worded as follows:

A reeve or Champion may deem a weapon unsafe for use even though it may meet the technical construction requirements. Some examples of technically legal but unsafe weapons might be weapons with cores so flexible as to risk core failure or other safety issues during reasonable combat, weapons made with overly hard foam, weapons with excessive tape, or weapons with excessive mass.
