For JC or anyone else that wants to wade in:

Are there different methods, schools, techniques, styles,... of casting?

I suppose obviously there are? Do they have names?

Do various "gurus" teach different "styles"? For example do Mel Krieger, JC, Joan Wulff, and whomever all teach a different casting stroke or do they agree on one style? That is, is there one that almost all experts agree is the style to use?

Which one [if there are differing ones] do you believe is the best?
For example, I had the opportunity to watch Joe Humphreys recently and was impressed with the short effortless strokes and double haul. I have seen other long stroke styles done by good casters.

I'm struggling with whether or not I'm asking this stuff clearly ...I hope you see what I'm getting at.

I pretty much learn by feel but... stimulated by JC's tips ,etc. I'd like to work on improving and would like to know I'm using the proper basic method or whatever you want to call it.
