Hey Everyone!
I am having some issues with my throws, not sure why, but wanted to see if anyone could give some advice. My dice are not together, one die is constantly infront of the other. I understand its probably a thumb issue with my grip. Is there any type of exercise I can do to correct this.
Thanks in advance!

Finisher has some good thoughts – the toothpick trick is to put a toothpick between your index and middle – and middle and ring fingers – pickup the dice and try throwing them keeping the toothpicks in place.
Also look at your middle finger and make sure that is perfectly centered. You also need to make sure your fingers are straight across the front. Think about getting the gripper to help keeping your fingers straight
let us know

I would suggest looking at your three fingers in a mirror on your throwing table to check your three fingers. They should be evenly straight across. Most of us have uneven fingers, so it takes practice to get the feel of lowering or raising one or two fingers. Until you’ve had a lot of practice, it will feel strange.
Check that your thumb is evenly on the die. Do this by gripping the dice, and with your hand on the rig, look down from above. All white pips should be even, as should the amount of the red or blue or whatever color showing. This ensures even pressure.
You can also practice gripping the dice correctly, pick them up, and let them drop down on the table. They should land evenly. If they don’t, try relaxing your fingers just a bit after you pick them up.
Make sure you have a pendulum swing, even rthythm back and forth. Watch in a mirror. Do not do ka-ching, too fast forward toss.
Practicing all the above will give more even pressure, so the dice will fall together on the receiving station.
Hope this helps. Let us know.
