Position the reel wherever you feel most comfortable with. I have tried the reel up and down and prefer the reel higher up on the butt. I have been beach casting for years and still cannot cast with the reel low. Keep at it mate and tight lines!
Did you try a longer drop? that on its own will slow you down,,, where are you based?? I / we ("Sportscast Ireland") are based in Wicklow, if you want a dig out id be more than happy to offer help. Cheers paddy
Wow Thats a very kind offer! Im Based in Dorset near the Famous Chesil Beach.. So I reckon with you in Ireland it might be a bit difficult. Thanks anyway.
I got a 14' Century CME and just couldnt get the timing right! kind of gave up on pendulum. I can cast my 12' FS so hard it creaks but cant slowmyself down with the bigger rod.
I now have a century CME with sliding reel seat and do practice down the butt. It feels a bit alien to me controling the real with my weak hand. I am aware its more powerful that way but i'm still a pendulum noob :-)
Its not more powerful its just more controllable. i have a Zziplex XTR groundcaster which i use for casting and i cant control it using the reel up. anyway nice smooth cast!

For a pendulem,start slow.the only speed comes right at the end.If you feel the sinker is too light,get sth heavier.For century,150gm-175gm is good

I havent yet got the hang of it down the butt.
