[shaun]

Cant help you with the casting but if you clearing a football pitch and ahalf lenth ways it would be 150 - 195 yards i think. best get a big tape measure or one of thoose 1 meter wheel thingys

[Tonyc]

I would reckon thats about 150m. Measure your stride and pace it out if you want to know

[will powell]

standard footy pitch is around 100yds long,give or take a yard or so, good start for distance chucking mate

Off the ground is the right way to begin before you learn the pendulum,once you mastered OTG,the pendulum is so much easier as you have allready learnt how to position your arms,legs etc,if you go down to nesa meets you will see some fantastic casting OTG and pendulum and nothing is any bother to the lads down there,loads of help and advice

Its about 8 quid for daycasting,or you can become a member an extra fiver,just turn up before about 8.30 as they shut the gates before 9,some lads get there earlier to help set the court up,bit nervous my first time on the oche,but to be honest there all decent lads and there is no pressure on the day and you will see some of the best casters in the North east crack off,maybe even slip and fall,but the craic is mint,......Will....am i on commission yet
