As we know, everything about the throw starts off with the grip.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0To me finger balance is essential in controlling the dice. Without it of course you have no throw with the end result being random at best. So I&#8217;m going to go out on the limb here with the following statement.

A possible result with an improperly\u00a0 gripped dice can develop poor muscle memory, which at times can be hard to correct especially for the new dice controllers. While trying to compensate and adjust the throw, this will not matter as long as your grip is off balance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0All of us that have taken this dice control journey with <strong>GTC <\/strong>have heard, if you throw is off:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <strong>\u00a0&#8220;Check Your Grip&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <strong>\u00a0This is so True !<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0So I found that if you put the hard work in, practice your ass off, it will payoff when you get to the casino.
