Walter & Group.......
We've added many Study Group members over the past couple of years. We are now 139 members, strong.
New teaching ideas are floating about along with our time tested ones. Let's see if we can add to our teaching, "BAG OF TRICKS".
I'd like to start this with lists from many of you of the various casting faults you see at any level......just a simple list, not comments or solutions at all.
Then I'll take each one seperately and we'll try to come up with as many teaching tricks and methods to handle it.
I'll start with the one I most often see with early casters:-
AN OUT OF CONTROL WRIST : The caster makes a back cast aimed back and down due to excessive movement of the wrist. This results in a very wide loop which often strikes the ground behind him. Striking the ground robs the cast of power, and the wide loop acts as a form of slack which must be taken up before his forward stroke becomes effective, thus shortening his needed rod arc and tip travel for his forward cast.
Let's have some ways of handling this one.
