At times if you add more bounce it would be hard to see &amp; hear (smack) if your dice are landing flat. Hence all of that practice can go to waste. Depending where you purchased your receiving, if its the one that Dom sells, that one has the proper specifications for the GTC toss. If you can practice your shot mechanics with a \u00a0firmer table &amp; then have a change out table to match your casino of choice table conditions that would be the way to go. I have been thinking about this same situation while I\u2019m building my table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>High Arc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Cotton Lob on February 22, 2022, 7:34 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The basic table when I began practicing Craps in my house in 2015 was a $6.00 hollow door on clearance at Home Depot. I bought four, one roll of floor protection heavy paper and one can of spray glue. Heavy floor paper has good bounce to match say Freemont street. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">That was topped off with cheap Craps fabric that was six feet long. This setup allowed me to win the money for cost of my first trip in 2019 to Vegas for GT Class. \u00a0And then I won enough while not in class to take my wife the next month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">( I&#8217;m planning on purchasing a full size synthetic table fabric from the Craps table supply in Vegas and cutting it for a couple of hollow doors. The photos appear to match what is in the Casinos now.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">My barn and garage could easily handle a small Casino but the farm house enclosed porch can only handle a door on each end. When I first started I was throwing fourteen feet to practice from a stool into a cardboard paint bucket. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I now have a movable shooting station to practice stick left and right. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Dom has seen those pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">When Plymouth Rock opened for business I got a hold of sneaker inner sole material sheets that fit perfectly. I was able to repeat the numbers rolled at the house in the Casino. But these Casinos have been changing the fabric and bounce or length of the tables in the last two years. My proven dice set doesn&#8217;t hold up to these new table tops. You have to be creative. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Tables in Vegas and the East Coast that I have had terrific long rolls on using my original shooting technique and basic table top are seldom open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> I will miss the pirate house when it changes hands because there is only one playable table there maybe 10 feet and I had it to mostly to myself for three hours including toilet break my first visit. (And they gave me a free buffet when I finished.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">It was a cash cow and I only bought in with one hundred. Dealers made out $$.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"wpfa-368\" class=\"wpforo-attached-file\"><a class=\"wpforo-default-attachment\" href=\"\/\/crapsclub.goldentouchcraps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpforo\/default_attachments\/1645558459-floor-protection-paper.png\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"floor-protection-paper.png\"><i class=\"fas fa-paperclip\"><\/i>&nbsp;floor-protection-paper.png<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on February 22, 2022, 10:03 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Has anyone tried the sound proofing for wood floors ?

So what I am doing now is easier to understand because I have the years and Golden Touch Training with several instructors in class to allow me to adapt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I recently encouraged my wife to take the Golden Touch Class this past year because I felt everyone needs a good foundation when learning Craps. I trained with many of the instructors my wife would have and knew she would learn from the best. She really enjoyed her class and instructors. \u00a0It blew my mind when I first witnessed her practice on the porch using proper GTC form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">After class it&#8217;s up to you to do the home work and practice. \u00a0I have a hard surface similar to Golden Touch that I also work in with my practice. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I also make it a point to reread the books Dom put out. It&#8217;s easy to forget the fundamentals in our busy life.
