Re: serious casting problem

Try using pressure on your thumb to keep the butt close into the under side of your forearm. , and remember the rod and the forearm must work together.When you break your wrist, you lose up to 60% of the energy, hence the sloppy cast.The other more positive remedy is to use a strap to keep the rod and the forearm together. I use a velcro strap. which can be bought in DIY stores.Cut it into 18ins. lengths.Do also remember tthe 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock, casting - power arc. Go too far back and too far forward and you " opn" the loop, , which costs you distance and accuracy.
Hope this helps.

I would suggest (as any instructor would)., get yourself a lesson with an instructor. You won't regret it and your problem will be solved.
Good luck.
