Power application

 I see much more Tennis Elbow as too much power it use to SLAM the rod forward. I have suffered this a few years back trying to make the long cast I was not stopping as much as forcing the rod forward at a higher speed. This was on a 9 wt that I was using for stripers.

  From Bill Gammel now how fast you can move the rod but how fast you can move the rod in the last 5% of the cast.  He would show from here to here. Then stop.

  I teach the upper arm shoulder is the slow powerful muscles that get everything going. The forearm comes next to keep it moving in a straight line path. The wrist is the speed of the cast smallest muscles are also the fastest.

Inapropriate use of sudden power can yield a, "tennis elbow".

 

Interesting comment on our smallest muscles moving the fastest.

 

Also, it's hard to accelerate much when you start fast.
