Re: Tracking and Loop planes

Because a loop that is not vertically stacked has tracking errors resulting from gravity. Paul, Having watched a fair number of distance experts casting the MED 5 none of them had the fly-leg and rod-leg both moving in vertical plane. There was always significant deviation. Also none had the rod mo...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

However yes I do believe it costs distance. What you think is the cause for loosing distance, when the rod-leg points off to the side due to moving the rod in after the shoot is launched? About the wind I have a different view. Add a lot of tail wind and you see very few, who can handle the wind in...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

I don't think language gets in the way in general. But fly casting instructors every now and then used commonly defined words in a pretty different way ending up in some confusion after figuring the common use. Arc, constant acceleration, power application, plane and more come to my mind. Also simpl...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

There are remote tribes all over the world solving complex problems such as spear throwing and firing arrows to take down prey that probably do not have a word in their language for geometry. How did they learn these skills? Yes, and there were humans building pyramids without having cranes or any ...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

Paul, Steve always was in the absolute top range. Watch how he pulls the rod hand in at the end. And that's even noticable from this poor perspective. https://youtu.be/VdUQJhUrnCk?si=HRDECzhtb4EfhU0M Little better angle of view: https://youtu.be/xCxEodG3Y9M?si=rpfz1MUhVJ1R_70P Are you saying this is...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

We often said: To pull the rod off to the side after main launch direction is set, is no problem. We agreed on this for distance casts, too (as far as I remember). By "we" I mean a general consense on SL. Where was I when you were having these discussions? I am pretty sure to remember Las...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

Knowing that “surface” also has a specific meaning in Euclidean Geometry will be something new to many people. That's new to me, too. I yet thought the word surface is not saying anything about it's shape, size or material. Exactly why I added flat. A flat surface is clear to me. What is that speci...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

I can't remember anyone to have disagreed with that not being a problem. The double negative in this statement is confusing, but I am saying it's not a problem to do it if it's intentional and the reasons for doing it are appropriate. Again, what is the intent of the action? If the end result is de...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes

What “it” didn’t happen Bernd? Hi Vince, I can't read your minds. You refered to "it" yourself. Same for the "drift" in the horizontal cast. I just spent 40 minutes in the field, it doesn't happen to me. I thought it was clear, what we are talking about. Otherwise I don't know w...
