Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi Mark, I think this was rather a poor argument from Paul, of course you need to learn loop control first. That's the same for commercial instruction and casting sport. Unfortunately often teached with the clock face, I'd favor an open stance, side cast first, so that you can observe the backcast y...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Yep Rickard
Well I've heard these silly arguments often enough, casting sport is not like fishing blah, blah .. mostly by people not involved into the sport.
Actually before I'd learn a zillion of presentation casts (and maybe performing them mediocre) I'd try too be good @ the basic overhead cast.

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi John, Might be off-topic here, That's very true, the rod is a flexible lever and we only throw the line, although on occasions I have thrown the rod as well. :blush: However the direct contact we have is with the rod only. We create movement in the body that is transferred to the rod through the ...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi John, exactly, we cast the line, not the rod. That's unlike other sports you have mentioned, a flexible level between you and the "projectile". Principles apply only partially, mechanics is quite different IMHO (as Merlin has pointed out in a different thread). Greetings, Torsten Hi Joh...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi, good question, I'm guessing Lefty meant SW gear (8-11) and normal WFs with something like a 40' head. Absolute distances make only sense with the context. For instance even world's best fly casters don't average 110' under controlled conditions (indoor, ED5) - see for instance the swedish study ...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi Paul, You have time to rebuild his stroke. You’ll get 10 lessons say and 80-100 hrs of training. .. I don’t know about cost/benefits but most of my students are SW anglers. That's something like 1k€ for these lessons? Sounds like a great business if you can sell it via remote teaching, so no trav...

Re: ICSF WC Flycasting Sweden 2024
Wow, 5K USD. Nils, in my opinion this concept is totally unattractive unless you're member of a sponsored team or rich and famous. Another blocker is in my opinion that you need to take a full week off, not that easy for working people. Maybe the complexity went out of control? For comparison, data ...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
Hi Paul, Merlin/Gordy were faster, alternatively you can derive it this way: PE= 1/2 * k * x^2 combined with Fs = -k * x (Hooke's Law) -> x = - Fs / k -> PE = 1/2 * Fs² / k and this means if we assume Fs (the load) is constant PE ~ 1 / k PE is inverse proportional to k Ah yes. Because PE= 1/2 k.x^2 ?
