1/You hold the rod in your right hand, above the reel with the handles facing down if you hold the rod horizontally.
2/The light weight free length needs to be about the length of the rod when you lift the rod vertically.
3/The light weight would follow a swinging ark similar to if you were going to simulate a "coming over from the left throw"
4/ Using the index finger of the left hand and during the throw you pull down hard on the left hand at about 45 degrees on the line, whilst committing to the cast with the right hand only.
note:- you do not hold the line with the left hand. The index finger is merely over the line so you are pulling both on the lightweight and the reel whilst throwing, and it has to flow.
5/ You feather the reel with the left hand to avoid an obvious over-wind as by now the reel is spinning really fast and the lightweight fly's really slow.
I hope this helps you somewhat as throwing a scarborough is similar to learning to surf, it's not easy as an adult.
I can throw a small piece of floating bread with just a single hook about 40 metres.
Off Inyoni rocks I throw my 2 oz shad spoon underhand the same distance everybody else is throwing their whole sard.
Failing the above I could only show you personally what is possible with a scarborough. Guys like Alby Upton, Noel Skinner & my all time hero Malcolm Leal defy quantum physics when they launch a bait with a scarborough.
