[GH] Comment by Ted Warren :
Seems like we make it difficult when make a compound sentence which is too complex and folks use various phrases & words. Dusty's statement could be simply " line launch occurs when the line overtakes the rod tip". Once agreeing on a basic statement or two, then follow up sentences can expand the ideas about deceleration, velocity, tension, direction, etc. one at a time.

[GH] That is oft a fault committed by me !
Using more words than needed to make a point is a common practice.
Some writers use long sentences which serve to dilute the impact of the message. A reader can miss the point.
Let's not give anyone the impression that the launch really does occur when the line overtakes the rod tip :
Ally showed that the launch may occur well before RSP where the line starts to overtake the rod tip.
Also, that the point of line launch relative to RSP is the result of multiple variables.
Lastly, that the exact point of line launch may be unimportant whereas the line launch direction is very important to the outcome.
>From our earlier message :
Ally Gowans wrote :
"Gordy’s definitions of line launch are very good. My only change is to remove any relationship to RSP. This is because line launch and RSP may be well apart or at other times they may be very close. The latter occurs especially with short lines.
Line launch is “the CAST”. RSP is just a state of the rod that has somehow been elevated to importance, in the same way that rod tip speed has."
I followed with :
"[GH] I agree that the separation or interval between the point of line launch and RSP can not be a constant or even derivable since it is the product of too many variables one of which (as you point out) is the length of line launched."
I could have shortened that to, "The interval between launch and RSP is a variable."
