One of the things I found helpful when trying to sort out my own loops in this task was to make sure I maintained a good translation phase of the stroke. It was very easy to fall into the trap of only rotating during the cast on the off side. My solution was to ensure a good transfer of weight between my feet, moving my body in the direction of the cast.
I also raise my hand to shoulder level in this task. With the rod plane raised, the line speed can be reduced.
Cheers,
Graeme
Out playing with horizontal loops, I'm still not happy with my results, things feel awkward. But, I agree with you that using more translation is important. How much rotation do you use and is it the result of wrist rotation?
Back to my practice...
