The
question is something I have taught for a long time.
When teaching the
haul it does not match the rod hand but the tip of the rod.
So to answer the
question the haul can start any time as long at the speed at the end of the haul
ends
at the RSP.
Second part of this question
If you
haul too soon you use up your haul travel of the line hand,
do nothing more
that pull line down the rod.
false loaded the rod.
Hauling
with a good back cast first so the line is with out slack.
You will add
the most line speed if you haul only when the rod is in recovery to
RSP
stopping at RSP. Any line speed you add at this time is true line
speed.
The early slow haul will remove slack but it is placing it below the
rod. In your hand..
So haul to match the rod tip. It it is a fast
action rod shorter hauls
If the rod is a slower deeper action taking
more time in recovery you can haul longer
If you have loaded the rod
deeply your haul can be longer
If you you have timed your haul late in
the cast your haul will be adding line speed during the recovery
I hope
this helps.

Al ....
My way of looking at it is that I get max efficiency with a haul which is made with application of power (pull with the line hand) as a "mirror image" of the application of power with the rod hand for distance casts.
For short casts, I sometimes use a short haul which is shorter than my casting stroke. Either way, my haul ends so close to the interval between the STOP of my hand and RSP of the rod that I honestly cannot tell how close to true RSP it is. Only the instruments can really tell this.
In a way, I suppose, my hauls do match the action of the rod tip.... never thought of it that way.
