Tip
Tip: Watch the top leg of the loop: it should be straight
How to do it: Check that the top leg of the loop is straight; a curve shows the rod tip path is off
Mistake it fixes: Ignoring loop shape as a diagnostic
Why it works: The loop is a direct readout of tip path. A straight top leg means a straight tip path; a curve means the cast will lose energy and accuracy.
When it matters most: All casting
