Do you think that it is a gentic issue with these people, given that we naturally evolved to throw?

Hi John They do not fully comply with proximal to distal patterning when both Dan and Jeff demo distance technique and it is incorrect to assume they do. It is also incorrect to assume that they are required to "fully" comply with proximal to distal patterning. It may be an essential for a...

How do you equate the contribution of Jeff’s hips and shoulders compared to his arm movement to line speed? He defines distance casting as “whatever is longer for you” so that covers quite a range of recreational fishing distances. Good definition. Thanks John, I’ve looked at the video and know wha...

His cast goes 40’. Are we cool with this? (He’s not a competition caster)

Why would you teach a highly variable task by restraining someone?

For a recreational angler, can you...
