I understand what you are saying. I take 25 cast and averaged them. I feel this takes most of the error of the results. Of these 25 casts they all fell between 23 and 25 handle revolutions. That's not much deviation.
I have my distance marked off in my driveway also and did it that way too. Now I just sit down on the bench on my dock and enjoy mother nature. Sometimes I even catch a fish while doing my field testing.
