Thefly rod casting stances and movements
- The stance
First, lay the pole at your feet andstand in an open area at least 20 meters away from both the front and the back.Act as if you were holding a brush in your dominant hand and stand with your dominantfoot just before the non-dominant foot.
Keep your upper arm relaxed, and your elbowsbent 90 degrees. Move your forearm, wrist, and hand horizontally forward, withthe imaginary brush at about your waist. Imagine that the paint drips withpaint and you try to paint the paint forward without spreading the paintoutwards.
To do this, gently move your forearmforward and keep the brush aside. If you move your wrist too early, the paintwill be sprayed everywhere. To keep the paint on the brush, you should minimizethe handle of the brush when moving the arm forward. As your forearm movesforward, you move your wrist forward at the last second and try to hurl all thepaint on the brush right in front of you.
As you move forward, move your bodyweight forward onto your forefoot. This entire stance is a flowing movement.
Now you reverse the process. Imaginethat the brush is saturated with color again. Slowly bring your forearm back,keeping your upper arm relaxed and relaxed, and let your forearm guide the restof your body. Slowly turn your shoulders back while holding the brush anglesteady, so the paint does not splash if you move your forearm past your body,back the brush again and try to hit the paint directly behind you.
- The movement
After learning about the stance, nextis to learn how to move either backward or forward and not spoil your stance. Youcan see that each time you move forward and backward, you take a short break atthe extremes while allowing your forearm to swing in conjunction with a wristgrip to drop the line directly in front of you and directly behind you.
Practice this movement only with thebody. If you feel you have mastered the movement, move your forearm from ahorizontal position at waist level at an angle of about 45 degrees, like athrower throwing the sidearm. Practice the movement again and move slowly untilthe movement is performed directly above the head.
Take frequent breaks, so your arm doesnot get tired, and your stance stays well.
