The other day I was driving to work and I thought about how my early morning practice went. I am still new at the at the craps game. I took the seminar in May, therefore I’m a primer. With that said, I still make mistakes and there is still room for improvement. I work hard everyday on my throw. I know my mistakes and I make adjustments to correct them. One of the problems that I have at times is keeping my fingers together. I have read of people gluing and using elastic bands to keep them together. Doc at the seminar placed strips of paper between our fingers. That helped a lot. So with that thought of paper on my mind an idea hit me. I went to my garden supplies and pulled out a roll of 1/2" wide green Velcro. I use it to support my plants onto the bamboo sticks. I cut 2 strips of Velcro long enough to go around my fingers. I place one strip around the middle part and the other strip if needed around the lower part of my fingers. Use the lower strip only if you still have a severe separation. Place the strips wherever it feels comfortable. If you use the lower strip don’t let it interfere with your grip. The only drawback is when you start to grip the dice. You will not be able to pull the dice in if they separate a little. I have been using this method and it helped. While throwing for a while I take the Velcro off and the minute your fingers open you know it. Who ever tries this, let me know what you thought and if it helped.
