At 30ft. From an open stance, I lift and rotate my shoulders around my core before engaging the distal elements of the kinetic chain including my legs. This is a natural progression from the triangle method.

Hi John In my view there are a few considerations. Individual joint linear and vertical velocities, angular velocity of specific segments, segment separation angles, normalised timings of each joint linear and angular velocities and muscle activity, are my important mechanisms. Absolute joint veloci...

Sorry John, I missed this, I was planning some fishing . Is this good or bad?

Hi John Rained off from fishing again here :evil: I am not sure what you mean by "any agreed-upon version of a definition". Does that refer to the biomechanical applicability of proximal to distal in general sport, just fly casting or is it a reference to something else. It came from a met...

As a principle, it’s been around a while “All motions with the strongest joynts performe. Lett the weaker second and perfect the same. The stronger joynt its motion first must end. Before the nixt to move in the least intend.” (Kinkaid, 1687 cited in Herring & Chapman, 1992). I see a lot of Euro...

Even if it follows the proximal to distal principle, if Euronymphing is casting then the pattern is so fuzzy as to have limited coaching utility. Given our agreement of Post 103, we could be following the principle but be teaching poor technique. The adage has been around for a while but what is the...

As I understand it, the body core is central to the kinetic chains in sports because it enables load transfers to and from the limbs. Our ability to self organise means that we develop compensatory patterns in the kinetic chain if the chain is disrupted that can lead to high loads on distal parts, o...

Hi John If catch rate was a function of casting proficiency, Euronymphers would blank ;) The adage has been around a long time: https://www.flyfisherman.com/editorial/simple-casting-stroke-fixes/384410#:~:text=Here's%20a%20key%20principle%20all,line%20needs%20a%20longer%20stroke.

Hi John

Success for me involves fish Bearing in mind the principle, what are your thoughts on the instructional adage “short line, short stroke”?

I agree with the idea of it being a principle John but there is a range of potential solutions, not a single answer. My kinetic chain cross body is not identical to overhead closed stance for instance.
