"Pull"....not, "push"

Walter & Group :

 

 

Gordy,

Next time you go out to cast try this; think of the stroke, in both directions, as a pull - not a push -and see if the acceleration, or lack of it, isn't more apparent. It might take a few strokes to get the mind set of pulling before you can focus on the acceleration, but try it and let me know if it works for you.

Yes.  Makes a big difference.  We've been teaching this concept for some time, now.  Start with a "pull", get into a good rod load, THEN use the angular change of the butt section of the rod (casting arc) as you go in to your, "power snap."

 

You have brought up a good point, here !
