Re: Tracking and Loop planes
Looking along the rod plane and excluding the loop leg plane is a meaningless exercise as you have no reference measure, that’s why you need your drone to check the outcome. Looking along the flat surface, in which I want to keep my rod is meaningless? Wow, I didn't see that coming and can't disagr...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
One thing I learnt on SL is, that when you offer whatever view or explanation (especially when it's new) about something, you may not have anyone respond or anyone like it, but if you are wrong someone or often many will like to tell you exactly this. 😊 Since no one disagrees with how I explained th...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
I think you are mixing things up a bit Bernd. Paul and everyone else is using an in line rod and loop plane as indicative of straight tracking, this is the reference plane. Birds Eye view is irrelevant in this case because the reference plane is not fixed in space, it can be judged from the rod but...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
Hi Graeme, I agree: Fair enough, you delivered the info in the text, which Paul needed. 👍 I was more focused on watching the movement (thus the drawing itself). For me, tracking errors occur when the tip path is not straight away from and towards the target, as seen from above or from the target its...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
Hi Paul, this: Straight Tracking for me is when the Casting Stroke is in one plane. That would generally put the loop in the same plane as the rod. There are many times when we don’t want the loop in the same plane as the rod, and that would usualy involve curved tracking. to me seems to be about ro...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
Only I wonder what he will remember how he received the improvement. Do you have to relearn how to walk, talk, ride a bike, brush your teeth, speak and drive every morning? Hi Vince, I asked, because I was listening, when you explained to see a difference between performance and learning, in that l...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
Paul, I agree, that every word is just what we make of it. That aside it might not be helpful to use words other than their most common definitions, I think. Since for me moving the rod along a flat surface is no more than an ideal, that remains not to be done in reality, I agree, when you say we mo...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
Hi Gary, the picture is an overlay of several pictures taken from a drone video. So it can't be idealized, but presenting reality. You are right though and the line end easily may pass below the tip position. Depends on speed, yes carry length and line path (which is result of many factors). It (the...

Re: Evaluating the Haul
Hi Walter, Thanks a lot, got it! 🙏🙏🙏👌 Good point about tension. But I think that goes both ways in hauling. We pull = increasing tension, we feed in = we decrease tension. In fact on a huge carry I don't feed in as fast as I do on a short carry, because otherwise I loose tension. That was quite a st...

Re: Tracking and Loop planes
Tracking for me relates to the path of the rod tip I understand your point of view. Can I ask how you’d define the following error please? IMG_0909.jpeg.jpg Hi Graeme, Your fine sketch doesn't show any tip path, so how would Paul know about the tracking here? 🤔 That aside, this sketch perfectly pre...
