Nothing comes to mind but you could try googling pendulum cast, layback cast, off the ground cast, etc.

(If you're googling, putting a tilde "~" before the word will search for variants, so ~cast should find cast, casts, casting, ...)

I think Neill Mackellows site has a slowed down video of a pendulum

You might also try to pick up a Neil McKellow video from somewhere. I also came across a John Holden video/animation a while back but I've no idea where. Try google again :)

I tried copying the video on Neil's site but I found it very hard to duplicate that jerky movement :lol:

You might find some stuff on http://www.ulstercastingclub.org

If nothing else, ask the lads there a few questions...there's a wealth of talent and experience between them and they're a helpful bunch....

Oh, forgot to add, you have to register to view the forums on UCC....

How many do you want? If you do a search for vid on the Jersey casting site........

there's some more on http://myfishcasting.org/pictures/

If it's played in Windows media player you can slow it down by pressing ctrl S. If it's a quicktime movie, you can play it step by step by using the left/right curser keys or you mouse.

By far and the way the best explaination I've seen are on John Holdens site:

there will be a new Irish casting club starting up soon for anyone who is interested, when everything has been finalized it will be announced on this site.

Good luck with that Paddy, hopefully the club will get plenty of interest.
