just got my first center pin set up together and have been practicing out in the yard with my dog. She helps me retrieve the float. Haha. I watched all the YouTube videos I could find and have been practicing the "short cast" and the "modified wallis" cast.

My question is, can you achieve greater distance with the original wallis over the modified wallis? It seems to me that with the original wallis the rod tip gets loaded a bit more than the modified wallis. After a couple hours in the yard yesterday I'm happy with accuracy and distance so far with the modified wallis cast though.
