Well after having to wait till I got back to Australia to have another go with my new WR300 you could understand that I wasn't going to allow some rain and cold weather to stop me.
Dragging Lee out with his new TTR as well as his new camera with super slow motion really paid off.
Here is the video footage from the two days on day two I was hitting 100 grams on 0.28mm and the way the WR300 was launching them really puts a smile on my face. :D

Enjoy :D :D

Keith ,
Glad that you liked the video , we really enjoyed putting the rods through a bit of a workout but I must stress that the first days casting with the WR reminded me that to get the most from it you need to get into a good possition with the left arm out wide and high . On the second session with it which are the close up shots I got closer to doing this the way I want.
Still have a bit of work to do so that it is second nature and that I don't rush the start.
I was casting the 100 gram in the close up shots and was really happy the way the rod tip allowed me to feel the lead possition so well.
looking forward to when I can put it to good effect in some more comps :D

Excelent clips indeed, the quality is superb :shock:
Nice clean hits as always guys 8) ,, and lee looks very comfortable with his TTR, is he casting it at full lenght? (14ft6) or is he casting off a reducer?? I just picked my one up yesterday (blank), a very stiff butt section but the tip seems quite forgiving...

Paddy ,
Lee is casting it as a full length 14'6" without the reduce and finding it quite long as is. I have cast it a few times and much prefer the shorter rods.
As a matter of fact i am hoping to get a shorter version of the TTR in the future - once I have paid off the holiday :shock:
Should be ready for 2010 :roll: :roll:

Hi Jeremy
Yes im not a fan of the longer rods as i just dont have the speed to turn them over as quick but the new TTR's are reinforced far more than normal to allow it to be cut back to a prefered lenght, a few of the UK lads have them cut back to just over 13ft, after examining my one it runs for nearly 20-inches up the butt, a great idea IMO...

Steve ,
The thing with the stepping is to realise that you have plenty of time to do it and to stake small steps. If you look at Lee's he takes even smaller steps than me.
I am working on that as I have a bad habit of taking a big final step that puts my centre of balance out and reduces my ability to hit the rod as hard as I can :D

Hey Jeremy,
Only getting to see this clips this evening.....fcuking unreal footage. I really like the new slow mo cam... Any details?
Looks like th new rods are going well for you.
I am currently throwing the 100g with a Zziplex 4500 and personally, I really like a softer tip with this lead weight as I can also feel the lead get into position better.
I'm still not past 200M, but I,m getting closer. :lol:
