Nice FP from Gary today...

Yes it could very well be the Micro Wrist, mini Thrust, Powersnap phenomenon. Or it could be shocking the rod in a form of Pull-Back.

Ashly is down in KL at the moment but when she is back I will shoot some slow motion video with the Instructor rod. I meant to do it last week but I forgot the white rod!

I’m going to put a beer on it against Lasse that we see the S-shape of a forced unloading rod. Preferably a Bosnian Beer and not a Swedish Beer if I lose

Why? You may ask. I think the results are so dramatic that the line’s behaviour seems much more like pull-back (reversed torque) than a Powersnap. I’ve also seen the characteristic S-shape occur on a Stopless 170 backcast, where I know that I’m not using Pull-back to force the unload. So I think with this Torque Twist we are shocking the rod.

But it’s all beer and bubbles. I’ll make sure street casting is the first thing I do when Ashly returns. I’m very curious now! Jack sounds like quite a character by the way

Cheers, Paul

I'll put a beer against you that the s-shape isn't proof of a forces unloading of the rod

Didn't you use to have a page on the tourque twist? I used to teach it for advanced rollcasting in like 2004, and I sure didn't come up with the concept myself!

Probably. I can’t be expected to remember everything, Lasse. The number of times I’ve discovered something that I had previous discovered and subsequently forgotten is... well I’ve forgotten exactly how often this has happened. But quite a lot

But that’s not this point This is a different application being used for speed shots. It also extends distance for the PUALD shooting shot.

It’s not just a small difference. In this Snakehead game it opens doors.

Actually the twist I do with the delivery on dynamic rolls I think is a force application. But with the Snakehead shot, I think it’s pull-back. With the roll cast I am more inclined to rotate the elbow through the stroke. With Snakehead this would cause a tracking problem and I am twisting in place of the stop.

Same thing but different! Video is the answer

Cheers, Paul

Same but same, increasing tipspeed and subsequently line velocity

Looking forward to the videos!

What is this torque twist?
Is this rotating the rod around its axis or thrusting?

Cheers, Bart

Rotating the rod around its axis, sometimes while thrusting

Menno in Holland also told me he does this. He made the comparison with the grooves in a gun.
Not sure how he exactly explained it, but I didn't buy it. I might have been wrong
You guys believe in this concept? How does it help?

Cheers, Bart

It’s a form of forced unload.

And how does that help?

Cheers, Bart

Well if it is a form of forced unload, which is not certain yet, then it will result in a higher tip speed. And before you ask yes I have tried it in overhead distance but I can’t get the tip to track straight!

When Ash is back I’ll shoot some video.

Cheers, Paul
