Step by Step Casting Guide

Are there any web sites that show a slowed down OTG and fishing pendulum casting sequence ?. I've looked at John Holdens but it doesn't really show how to progress from OTG to pendulum.

Cheers,

John Holden's videos on youtube are the best instructions I've seen, in fact the only instructions I've seen of any note. In essence, the pendulum cast is technically just an OTG cast with a larger casting arc added in (but obviously needs practice to execute).

practice practice practice.
I think it's all down to height,weight,posture... not to mention rod action and reel position.

Anyway...from OTG to Pendulum..you should try the 'south african'. It's basically a OTG with some body rotation. John Holden has a video of this aswell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHqVu3A48_s

Pendulums are simple enough.. it's just a airialised OTG. But it depends what type your doing.. I just try the 'fishing pendulum'. Basically a simple bare basic one..no bells and whistles. Lead out..lead back..turn and hit

Think most people get problems when turning through to hit it and they hit too early. I'm not a great caster by any means but that's how I see it. Getting the lead to swing is the easy part
