Thanks again, Dom. I read the post to Stealthman about using the hard C grip.

The Diceman and I were heading to Bossier City and we got together for a practice session before we went. We both changed our grips to the hard C and changed our swing also.

We arrived in Bossier Sunday about 3 PM, rested for a while and went to check out the tables. Got our positions. Me SL1, Diceman SR 1. Up and down and all around. We bet the fire bet as our lottery ticket for 1 dollar. One CF hit 5 to the fire and one hit 4 to the fire. Left the table up a tad thanks to the firebet.

Monday, breakfast at 9:30. To the tables at 10:30. Good throws for a couple of hours. A little ahead. The throw is looking better and better, obviously getting used to it.

Now the stage is set. A full table. Diceman at SR 1. Me at SL 1 and Mr. B at SL 2 (a graduate of another school), however a really nice guy.

Diceman starts off with a really nice money making roll in the mid twenties. Then I get the dice and for the next 45 minutes I can do no wrong. I made 9 points ( 5 eights) but only 4 to the firebet. I start to colorup and Mr. B says, hey, what about my roll. So we stayed for another nice 20 something money maker.

The key to this whole story is the grip and swing. The dice landed soft, kissed the back wall and flat died. The Diceman and I have never thrown better. Especially with this consistency.

Again, thank you Dom. I think it has finally come together.

Doc
