.To keep the rod tip from going back to far, slip the handle underneath a rubber band or the sleeve of your jacket. You won't need to do this forever, but it helps you get the feel of what a correct cast feels like.
Don't overdue your hauls. Lefty says they should only be five or six inches. It is timing that makes it work, not a lot of force.

Make sure of three things at least:
The rod has to be somewhat stiff like a fast action
You MUST stop the rod at the 1 O'clock position on the backcast, other wise those loops will really sag
make sure the hauls are well-timed and really sharp (a hard tug on the line)...

I'm getting more distance and speed, but I'm watching the line in front of me, and it's closed - sometimes to the point of tangling the tippet with the bottom of the loop.
