ol Al....
AHAAAAA !!! You are correct about that.
The physics papers I've studied have all dealt with a simple cast with no line shoot. As soon as line is shot, a whole host of calculations change.......and as far as I know, none of the physicists have tackled those in print.
There, we get into stuff such as the amount of overhang being the barometer for the RATE OF TURNOVER of the head as being inversely proportional to the ultimate distance for the cast.....and much more ! (Jason Borger quoting Steve Rajeff in, "THE NATURE OF FLY CASTING", pp 240 - 241.)

Howdy Gordy,
All of this was neat to know BUT I shoot line in to my Cast.
Now the rod leg is moving at a rate of unknown speed in the direction of the cast.
The loop is not not just flying out at a X speed it is sliding along So the Fly leg is moving at a rate less that the Circluar amount of the Loop.
This is what provides the later turn over of the loop/fly. So now we have to go back and refigure the loop speed, rod leg and enter that in to something that would crack an atom.
I got to work to night to find Jim had aswered all the easy questions. That I had a chance at.
Thanks
