Backcast To A Stop:  A short movement of the rod tip using the wrist to flick the rod tip to an abrupt stop straight above the caster’s head. 

The thumb of the rod hand should be pointing straight up upon completion. 

This is a sharp, crisp motion, using mostly the wrist and a little bit of the forearm, which ends in a straight line, vertical position as the rod tip is brought to a "punching" stop.
