[GH] Recently, a question was sent to several MCI's which basically asked for the best time to start the forward cast with respect to the unfurling back cast loop. The responses included several different opinions. This brings me to ask these 11 questions;-
1. From a purely casting mechanics standpoint, is it most efficient to start the forward cast... :-
a. Just before the back cast loop has fully unrolled ?
b. Just after the back cast loop has fully unrolled ?
c. Exactly at the point where the back cast loop has straightened ?
2. How do you usually do it ?
3. What is likely to happen if the caster starts the forward cast way too early (when the back cast is only about 2/3rds unrolled) ?
4. What are some of the problems which may occur if you wait too long after the back cast loop has fully unfurled ?
5. Briefly explain how you would teach your beginning casting student to do it.
6. You have an intermediate level student. She is doing fairly well, but is having trouble with timing in that she can't judge the time to start her forward cast. She has arthritis and cannot turn to see her back cast. How would you approach that problem ?
7. Briefly describe some of the methods used by expert distance casters as they go from an unrolling back cast loop to their forward cast.
8. How would you describe CREEP ?
9. Do you think that a fully unrolled back cast loop has much rearward momentum ?
10. Many instructors have used the term, PRE-LOAD. What does this mean to you ?
11. Distance casters sometimes use the term, HANG TIME. What do you think this means ?
