I use the wrist-twist method because I find that I am more accurate changing the path of the rod tip than I am applying too much power - plus, most of the banks I want a fly to swim up against are pretty tall and I got hung up A LOT and spooked a lot of fish trying to get a fly back when I was trying to curve cast by overpowering. I'm no pro at it, but it works well enough and isn't too difficult.

It makes no sense to me....the rod still moves in the same direction, so how does the fly line read your mind and determine that you want the last few feet of it to kink into a 90 degree bend?Gene
