  • Bob Andreae on hand path



     

    Walter & Group:

    From Bob Andreae:

    Gordy:
    Casting horozontally allows an easier vizualization of rod tip path and hand path: 
    With two parallel white ropes on the ground for markers, between the ropes it becomes easier to see   the SLP and it becomes obvious that as the stroke
    progresses that the elbow must be moved in to touch the ribs by the halfway point
    of the stroke and moved out from the torso as the stroke is completed.  Rod flexion
    shortens the effective rod length at mid point, making a straight line rather than an arc and the elbow  movement allows the hand to follow the straight line of the rope.    You had me demonstrate that method at the Marathon seminar two years ago.

    Bob

    Yes.  Thanks for reminding me.
