10 feet of T14 on a 7 or 8 wt single hander is pushing it IMHO!  Especially if the rod is a 7 wt rod.  Like Hook said, keep false casts to a minimum, and try not to let too much line out during the false cast as well.  Too much might break the rod!  Also, as Flytech suggested, 15 feet of T14 would be more difficult to cast than 10 feet of the same tip.  Good luck, and wear sunglasses or other form of eye protection!  :)

...and yes - you should tell the guys at the shop what type of rod you have so they give you the appropriate line recommendation!
