The MOST IMPORTANT aspect of Ron's technique is not necessarily distance -- it's that he uses FAR LESS EFFORT than the average angler uses.
Like so many other sports, when you're doing it RIGHT, it looks effortless.
Ron and Lefty Kreh can both cast for hours without the pain and suffering that goes along with poor technique. They have mastered the ability to let the rod do all the work...and that goes for shorter casts as well.
When I watched Lefty at work, I noticed he would cast to where he taught the fish were holding; he wasn't trying to dump all the fly line on every cast, yet on many casts all the line flew through the guides...and he did it for hours on end.
