Re: Physics behind the SNAP CAST

 Walter...

I DO appreciate your doing that !

Not having the physics background you have I felt, intuitively, that that might be just part of the answer.  

                                                                                     Why ?

Because I went out and made a snap cast using my stiff broomstick rod.  Not a pretty result, but it did the trick.  Certainly no appreciable flexibility there and therefore no bounce back.  I did consider the possibility of hand/arm bounce back, but couldn't recognize it if it indeed occurred at all.

My B'day is on Nov. 22nd.  Hard to believe I'll be 80 !   (I still feel young.)

Best to you and family,

Gordy
