You can hit the rod almost anytime the lead is heading back towards you and be reasonably safe, let the lead come higher than the rod and sooner or later your going to break the tip off a rod.
What that video doesnt tell you is that with that kind of overhead thump you need a powerful rod. You can even hit the rod while the lead is going away from you and still get power into the cast....but to do what you say (if I pick you up right) is heading for a broken rod.
