I though that i was the only one that cant get to grips with the springy ones.
last month my mate who has just started to tie asked me to show him how to
whip finish his fly,s but he had the springy type one and i for the life of me just
could not use it.i wonder just how many tiers have this problem.

Your hand whipping is excellent Gary, I wish I could handwhip like that or just handwhip for that matter. 'BUT' you can get a far smoother/even look to the head by useing a WF tool. Look for a cheap rotational one (matarelli lookalike or the real thing if you can afford it) not the springy kind as they are awkward, the rotational ones once you get the knack which does take a bit of patience and practice at first, you won't use anything else. Mine was £3 off ebay.
