\nHi all,<\/p>\n
\tI attended the Memphis seminar this spring. When I left I was throwing well. However my work schedule hasn\u2019t allowed me ample practice time. I\u2019m trying to get back into a practice routine. But, I find that I\u2019m opening my thumb from my grip on release, instead of the dice releasing through centrifugal force. I\u2019m not spreading my fingers, they are staying tight together and fingertips are even, just opening my thumb from the grip. Is there an exercise I can use to help this. If I think about it, I won\u2019t open my grip. But the idea i believe, is to not think about everything while we are throwing… I have a trip to Vegas on July 11th for a few days. Also, I will be attending the Vegas seminar for a refresher in August as well as a tuneup…. thanks in advance. Tug<\/p>\n

But wrong practice creates stronger bad habits to overcome. Looking to tweak my throw before my July trip.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on June 18, 2019, 12:00 pm<\/p>\n \tWe like to warm up with taking care to really think about what we are doing in each part of the throw from setting the dice to having the dice gently roll off our fintger tips.<\/p>\n \tBTW–this won’t be the only thing that will creep back into your throw. Why do you think the golf pros on the PGA tour have swing coaches and the best 300 hitters in baseball have swing coaches to look for problems develop. We are no different. <\/p>\n \tWe will look forward to seeing at the seminar in August and working with your during a tune up. Taking a tune up will give you a few ideas of what to work on during the Refresher course.<\/p>\n \tHope that helps.<\/p>\n \tSee you soon.<\/p>\n \n\tRose and Doc<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> The Gridmaker on June 20, 2019, 11:05 pm<\/p>\n \t I found myself doing this too (along with a few other problems) about a month after the class. I ended up buying an inexpensive video camera and watched my practice sessions. You would be surprised how much you catch yourself doing. \n\t The Gridmaker<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Tug on June 22, 2019, 12:55 am<\/p>\n \tThanks for the input.. I do have a video camera and thought about using it in practice and I may. Also noticed that thinking about the grip\/release on each throw, that I open my hand less often as Doc and Rose suggests.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on June 22, 2019, 11:32 am<\/p>\n \tRose and Doc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Tug on June 23, 2019, 1:28 am<\/p>\n \tI will use the camera. I am a widower, so no wife or girlfriend but I could use a tripod. I also have a 2nd camera I could use to video the landing and reaction of the dice, will just need another tripod.

\n\t I know this may sound like a generic answer , but I also went back to the basics during my practice sessions (using the gripper. reading my class notes, and trying to remember key points each instructor gave us at each station). I know sometimes its hard to get in practice sessions at home, but for me it really was the key.
\n\t Hope you get it figured out before your trip. Good luck and keep posting!<\/p>\n
\n\tlanding and their reaction after hitting the wall?
\n\tThanks in advance.<\/p>\n
