    Spread sheets

    I guess that maybe there is no right or wrong way of making out a spread sheet but this is how I did it. I made 25 cells down and 8 columns because it seemed to fit on the page nicely. That makes 200 rolls per each side or 400 per page. I made each column a game; like baseball. If I throw 4 sevens or less; I win any more than that and I lose. I’ve done this now for over 5000 rolls. I’ve been wondering now how valuable the stats that I accumulated are because sometimes I have dreadful rolls that turn out to be numbers and occasionally rolls that I think look perfect turn out to be sevens. Sometimes the roll is so bad (rarely) the dice would hit the back wall and bounce out onto the floor. I don’t record anything for that. How would I know what to record when one or both dice are on the floor. To be honest; a lot of times the awful rolls far outnumber the good ones and yet after 5000 rolls; I ended up with a 6.25 SRR. While I feel that my rolls have improved drastically; I still went into a slump after my 5000 rolls and am now down to 6.17 SRR. I have been doing better lately.

    Our advice is to study the manual you were given in class–great information there. Spend some time working on your grip using some sort of gripper pad like we provide at the class, a book or other flat surface. You can do this while on the hold on the phone, watching TV, etc. Become one with the dice. Make sure your 3 fingers are straight across the dice with the middle fingered centered on the dice and that the thumb has the same amount of skin on each dice. Feel the seam where the dice come together to know you are centered. As Mr. Finesse always said, "the only time your have 100% over the dice is when the dice are in your hand. Once the dice roll off your finger tips, physics takes over the dice as they fly through the air. So get that grip down pat." Also come to a class weekend so we can look at your grip and throw and make sure you are not developing some bad habits.

    Hope to see you soon.

    I am wanting to attend another class but won’t be able to do that until 2020. It’s too far to travel just for an open house.
