Walter & Group :
This is part of a message from Randy Olsen :
In both cases, however, we must assume that tracking (a third thing affect SLP) in plane is spot on, but we probably don't want to go there in the context of this discussion.

We SHOULD discuss this.
As most of us look at SLP....it is a straight line path of the rod tip IN ALL PLANES.
Many look at, "tracking" as not deviating from right to left or vice versa. That description can go out the window when casting in a horizontal rod plane, because Rt. and L. become, "down and up." Still, it is a good concept. In any event, SLP is just that. No deviation in any plane or direction.
