Some guys find one way easier than the next so they stick to that.
Shorter guys with shorter arms have to really get the spin on to get a big cast net out and open so try to compare size to you when looking as well.
But you can most likely master any of them so look for what makes it easier for you and keep throwing it that way. During the winter months its really easy to catch bait so a big net is less important.
Thanks for the good advice. I will check out some videos and try and find the best technique which won't put too much strain on me. My goal usually is just to not do further damage, the pain I have come to accept.
I told my wife, if I didn't do something because it hurt I would never do anything so I try my best to remain at least occasionally active when I am able to.

As far as the chiropractor, I have been to many plus some specialists and I am afraid there isn't too awful much that can be done to help. Thanks for the thought though.
