Here is a nice example of an overhead cast. In the first picture you can see how long the drop(lenght of line from rod tip to the end of your line) is. If the drop is too short the rod won't bend(load) properly.
In the pictures below, notice the left hand at the bottom of the rod doing most of the power
work to realy bend(load) the rod. Right arm is kept straight as possible
and acts as a swivel point for the rod. All the power from the butt
section is transferred throught this swivel point to the rest of the
rod. If your arm drops it reduces the power being transferred and thus reducing the distance of the cast.
