I agree.
But you have not answered my question, unless I can infer that by matching the haul to the stroke includes the timing of the STOP OF THE HAUL HAND.

Hi Gordy & Group,
Very appropriate question as I have been working on my distance and hauls.
First let me say that when teaching the haul an instructor should consider the level of the student and then decide how much detail the student will be able to handle.
Matching the haul to the stroke seems to be the least confusing.
A couple of questions on hauling:
1.) Do you think there is merit in making a sudden crisp STOP with the line hand at the conclusion of your haul when trying for maximum distance ?
The alternative is a deceleration (or decrease in the rod load), which will slow the line down thus decreasing the potential of the haul (line speed ?distance).
2.) Should you make that line hand stop at the exact time you make the stop with the rod hand ?
If you haul after the rod Stop you are pulling the line backwards and actually removing energy from the system! Counter-productive!
