No and I am by no means an expert on these things but I will have a

I agree with David, the same happened to me.
But as an aside, centrifugal force is fictitious.

If I had said the line was unreeling due the greater tension from
using heavier line brought about by constraining rotating objects
having a tendency to continue their motion in a straight line in
accordance with Newton's laws of motion, would it have helped any
more in the given situation? So I said centrifugal force and
everybody knew what I meant.
There there, I was just being cheeky .
