Practice and practice... maybe you need to cast vertically first and when you get competent then up the anti and try for greater distance.

Sometimes it is just trying too hard. For years and years I struggled casting overhead reels but then suddenly it became too easy.  I suspect that if you try a little less you may achieve a little more. Practice short and accurate before you go far. The more time you give yourself during the cast the more accuracy will improve.

Just as an aside. One day I was fishing at Tolaga Bay wharf. I was talking to guy who was wearing a really nice hat when a gust of wind took it off his head. I cast to it twice and missed. The third cast it was almost out of range. I did a nice easy lob and landed the sinker inside the hat. A careful retrieve was all that was required and a man and his hat were reunited.

He shook my hand and introduced himself to me. I modestly told him I was NZ's best fisherman. I think he believed me. I'm pretty sure if it was my $100 hat I would have clean missed it. Take it slowly to start with then build on distance
