Walter & Group...
[GH] Jim,
As you may know, some have given thought to including the forming of a tailing loop by means of an imperfect haul. ( A haul not well matched to the casting stroke.)
Whether or not this becomes a requirement, I teach it when mentoring Master candidates.

[GH] Aitor Coteron sends us these important video's in light of Jim Valle's comment :
Hi Gordy,
I've just read this on the last group's message:
"or example what happens if a sudden and/or early haul is applied to a vertical rod (like the typical backcast position for a new caster) or to a drifted or layback position of a more advanced caster) ??? … something to think about! "
Well, here is what happens:
Thanks,
Aitor

[GH] A great deal to think about as I review those videos of the primary effect of the haul when isolated from the casting stroke.
The dramatic effect on rod load / rod bend helps with an understanding of how an ill timed haul can yield acceleration sufficient to bend the rod followed by unbending during the stroke to form a concave rod tip path, line wave, and a tail.
The finding of less of an effect on line speed, flies in the face of "conventional wisdom" which is that the more important function of the haul is an increase in line speed.
Of course, the haul when not taken in isolation from the casting stroke; rather added to it,undoubtedly contributes to line speed for then we have the combination of, "swing & spring".... the "swing" representing the stroke and the "spring" the bend and subsequent straightening of the rod.
