Teaching yourself the pendulum.
Im looking for advice on teaching myself the pendulum cast from video or dvd. I don't have time for an instructor to show me as im working on and off all the time.
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
I am a natural sperm donar!
Hasn't it gone quiet 100,000, Why???

Trouble with self teaching is, you can spend an awful lot of time making mistakes and once you have the habit of doing it all wrong, that habit becomes very hard to brake.
A good instructor can teach you more in an hour, then you can teach yourself in 6 months or longer.Micky

Anyone know of a decent instructor within reasonable travelling distance of Montrose? Tried the fishcoach.org site but couldn't find anything.
