Ah, that may be it. I feel it 'notch' every once in a while, but I'm concentrating on the torch mostly. I wish I had more material to practice on. Also I don't really get to see what's behind the torch, but I always feel the rod 'collapse'. At other times I think that I have got a good root pass only to lower my torch hand and see a mess.
