Anyone tried this App?

Any use as a teaching aid?

I've had a play with it and am struggling to see how it helps.

Cheers

Hi Trev

Sorry, I'm on android :cool:

Would be interesting to try it, seems like it goes a bit along the same lines as the casting analyser from Bruce and Noel.

Cheers

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685

Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts ;)

Well, I didn't get on too well with it in the kitchen, but I've just taken it out with some rods and that worked out ok. I got good feedback mirroring with the rod in one hand and the iPhone in the other.

I think I rely on seeing the line and feeling the weight of the line which I don't get from the app.

That was with 40' of carry. I'll try longer lines tomorrow :)

Small things ............ :)

Trev, try it with the charger plugged into the I-phone, it will give you some swingweight

I thought you were joking at first ... but I see what you mean :)

I tried holding the phone and the rod in the same hand, but that didn't work too well :)
