Some questions about Delayed Rotation/ rotational hit

[Lasse Karlsson]

When is unloading happening?

Hi Lasse

Unloading happens some time (a question of ms) after maximum rotational speed has been achieved. It is even delayed if one uses a haul with proper timing.

May I suggest Torsten add a definition of impulse to the Glossary of Fly Casting terms.

It does not get the focus required,

Just seen this…absolutely agree.

Hi Merlin

Thanks, but that begs the question of what is proper timing?
And it also means we can't go by the amount of bend in the rod.

Lasse,
Can you explain what you mean by that claim that the loading (i.e. potential energy in the rod) is not directly proportional to the perpendicular tip deflection?

Hi Gordy

Same for the chord, the pull angle varies and the spring is non linear
