    THE GRIP

    We just returned from an Alaskan fishing trip. I was concerned about not being able to practice for 10 days.
    In the past I seemed to come back to the practice table as if I had been away for years not days. I decided that the only thing I could work on was my grip. I practiced on the drive to the airport ( although my better half did not enjoy this ), at the airport, on the plane, at the lodge. I remembered Mr Finness and Dom saying they would practice 4 hours per day. I remembered Doc, Rose , Goldfinger, and Mr. Burton showing me how to practice.
    Mr Finness attempting to drive it through my thick head to practice my grip.
    Some of the boat rides were in 4 ‘ seas and made it difficult to grip properly, but I tried. 😀
    Finally I returned to the practice table and It worked, I actually have had better practices since I returned than before I left. Maybe I’ll just practice my grip more often when i’m not on a trip, Thats what my instructors told me, maybe now I will listen. 😆

    Nice report Tommy. Yes the grip is all important. We always practice the grip. It is a large part of our throw–when the dice are in our hands it is the only time we have total control of the dice.

    When we head to your area in Northwest Louisiana we will be ready for the fish fry????

    Look forward to seeing you soon.

    We gave the fish away at the airport in Seattle, because our flight to DFW was cancelled.

    I BELIEVE so much I may change my name on the board to THE GRIPPER, but that might just sound like I grip to much. 🙂
    I also tried to practice the Heisman in the 3′ swells and that made everyone laugh, a lot.

    Tommy,

    Keep it up and you’ll be the one laughing…

    All the way to the cashier’s cage…! 😉

    Thanks for keeping us informed on how your practice is progressing…

    Grip, Grip, grip!

    It does look funny when we do this without the dice, but we laugh all the way to the bank as Timmer said!

    My only regret is that I didn’t see you do this and your lovely wife laughing at you! 😆
