He actually picked up the casting very well and progressed solidly to some distance over the hour I spent with him at the park whilst Mrs Homebrew and the dog walked the outer pahways. We also looked at he rollcast he might employ as we tweaked his technique.

Would love some time on the water with him sometime to get to the next level - another good due that you meet on the forum eh!

CD.

That's is a really kind and decent act @Carpe Diem. Hopefully hb357 will keep practicing at home, watching his back-cast to see how the faults there affect the forward cast and next time you see him he might pass the 'blind fold test'
