Re: What's wrong?
I was impatient and always starting my forward cast too soon. I caught a casting lesson on a TV show and the guy had a good suggestion. Remember the beginning of Bethoven's 5th. Bum-bum-bum-bummmmmm. As you start your backcast, do these notes and when you reach the end, begin youe forward cast. Like MMoose said, develop a rhythm. I also agree strongly with standing sideways, it really allows you to see the cast and all your loops. This and lots of off water practice has helped me alot. Keep at it.
