Not bad at all, but try taking a smaller step round as your feet look too open for you to put the power in, you need more speed in the hit, and you could do with getting the head around a bit earlier,, what sort of distance was it??

Yeah think tommy has a very good technique for the ground and pendulum cast.. I used to live not to far from him either.. if i only i fished rather than drink and chase loose american women

I would hate to try that myself, the only place it would be safe for me to attempt that would be in a very large field where I can't cause injury to anyone apart from the odd cow or sheep! :lol:
Anyone close enough to me would need to wear helmets!! :lol: :lol:

Your brave for even trying it Stevie, it's more than what I could do!
Practise makes perfect, at least your trying to improve your casting and get more distance.
