A double pitch problem is usually caused by one, two or all of these factors:
1. Fingers not square across the dice in the front
2. landing to hard on the table surface
3. griping the dice to hard

Number 1
To correct number one there are a couple of tricks:
I am going to assume you are using the 3-finger front grip; drop your fingers all the way to the table top and square them with the bottom of the table. Then keep them in that position and bring your fingers up to the top of the dice. You can even setup a little mirror on an angle on your throwing top to see if your fingers are square. Un- square fingers will cause the dice to lag one behind the other, and the bounce will be different, thus causing a double pitch.

Number 2
Your landing has to be soft or one will bounce more than the other, again causing a double pitch. Pretend you are landing your dice in a circle of sand and you want them to just hit that sand without moving it. You could even put a little saucer of sand and then try to throw into it and see if you move the sand too much.

Number 3
You have to grip the dice ever so lightly, almost so that if a small gust of wind came by they would drop from your fingers. Again, a tight grip will cause the dice to lag and again causing a double pitch.
