RichardM;

Could not agree you more about being square. It is extremely important to be square at the start. Start square, finish square…and the dice will land square without exploding.

There are some days that I spend the practice time tweaking my throw just looking for what it is that I do that makes it feel so good at times and, it also lets me know what I am doing wrong.

If you purposely do things to your throw and it goes bad I try to remember those things so if the dice are acting that way at the table I know what is up.

I mean to learn you must try different things to see what works best for you.

One of the worst things we can do in practice is seeing the dice doing something we don’t like–like continuing to go left from SL1 as they land and we simply keep throwing with the same thing happening. All we are doing is getting the incorrect muscle memory and once ingrained in our throw this is something that is very hard to correct. Self critique is something we need to be doing in practice and in the casino as well. If you have a GTC person in your area (I live with one, Miss Alligator Rose) I can call her over in a heart beat and get the correction I need.

If you don’t have someone nearby you simply MUST self critique. And investing in another tune up or refresher course never hurts and is a great idea. Remember the great golfers on the PGA tour takes lessons and get critiques from professionals all the time–almost weekly. We should do the same as we are no different.
