could both casting and flipping be caused by the same thing?

Could I be doing both during my swing?

I am losing distance and can not figure why.

It has to be one of these or both.

Q: could both casting and flipping be caused by the same thing?

A: Yes . . . Uneducated Hands.

Could I be doing both during my swing?

Yes . . . Probably.

I am losing distance and can not figure why.

Low Lag Pressure (Acceleration Rate); large Release Interval (Full Sweep Release); and poor Impact Alignments.

It has to be one of these or both.

Casting and Flipping combine as Throwaway. The cure will be to learn to correctly Accumulate, Load, Store, Deliver and Release Power.
