Trip Report How Important is that Straight Back Backswing

Spread the love


Well to start with, the Atlantic City class was great! Lots of students and everyone was there to learn!

On our last morning before leaving, Rose and Doc were playing at the table with one of the Advanced Students. The dice had gone around a couple of times and the student whom I was standing beside turned to me with his back to the table and said "what’s wrong with my dice?" We were both playing stick right. I said well it’s really tiny but you are pulling the dice in on your backswing. The next time he took the dice his backswing was very straight and his throws were beautiful. Then after he made about his 18th roll after he had just made his point he rolled a seven and all our odds came down because we were strictly come betting. While we were waiting for a couple of new people buying in I said to him "I really like your long straight hair". He grinned and said thanks. So HG then made sure his backswing was really straight back and the roll lasted for a total of 38 rolls with both of us doing strictly come bets. During his long roll he rolled 2 seven’s and all our odds came down, but when the last seven came we only had 2 bets up so we made a good deal of money on his 38 roll! Thanks HG and thanks to our come betting!!!

We colored up and headed to the airport. Always fun to end a trip on the upside!!! Thanks HG! 🙂 🙂

It was a great weekend. It was great being part of team Rose. Unfortunately, we couldn’t deliver you the No 7’s bragging rights. Hahaha.

Spent most of my time with Rose and Doc. Both were great as all the instructors were. Looking forward to GTC’s next swing through Atlantic City.

This is such a great observation by Alligator Rose. When the backswing turns inside it is impossible to get the dice back to the square starting position.

Great shooting.

Your trip report continued….

Later that day I ran into HG, he was resting from his breakfast and shared the morning story. He wanted to know if he would be entered into the 30s roll club? We did a session together and he spotted me before he took off and I believe he made a small fortune on my roll. I also did another session with HG’s partner in crime TD (another advanced student). TD spotted me on another table gave me some pointer’s on landing zone. He match his bank roll and said "You did your job" patted me on the back. I am too focus to count my throws but when I hear "That was a good roll" I am satisfied.

NFF and Billy did an incredible job adjusting the "A" Shot with the advance students. I want to also give a shout-out to Doc (who also had a couple of good hands in the upper teens), the seasoned advance students HG and TD for coaching me (discreetly of course) in live play. Thanks MV (new advance student) for doing some micro-fiber research with me, (NFF :geek: coincidentally saw us doing our fieldwork )

I have to admit, "live play" is the real deal and this is where your bank-roll makes or breaks, and its nice to make with the some the best DCs trained by GTC with nerves of steel.

Yours truely,
Mr. PiP
