Is it possible you weigh the first 30′ (minus the level tip) of those two lines?
That’ll mean more than the dimensions for telling you what’s going on.

A Pulling Stroke – for sake of simplicity- is where the elbow leads into the forward cast and the forward casting stroke is a downward chopping motion to an extremely abrupt stop ( see Paul Arden vids- Sexyloops- for an extreme version).
