practice makes it the best...try casting infront of you left and right(watchout for a lil chin music aka piercings)...or a single spey cast and swing down too them....if ur fishing close water like the dogpound u need too use the river for ur backcasting room if the banks are lined with obstructions(bushes trees cliffs etc.) cast up or down stream with a slight angle too present the fly rather than across the river facing the other banks making ur back cast go in teh bushes.......the best way i found is too practice my casting stroke under the conditions i wish too cast in(wander from traditional 10 and 2 stuff and experament)...its all about the love and challenge of flycasting dude i will get frustrated and tangle and whatnot but everyone gets that, if u or anyone else chosses too fish flies another way thats great...it may be more effective or easier it may not. butnothing beat casting a flyrod and lineliek u have probably become aware since u started too transition...its tricky..kinda like ur question, take care dude and good luck too ya
