\nI screwed up and hit something before I was finished. So I will continue:<\/p>\n

\tUsing the mirror at the end of the table I am able to see my complete throw.For this exercise I do not look at the "target spot" but watch my arm exclusively. <\/p>\n

\tThe second place I place the mirror is across from me where the dealer would be standing. Again I can look at my arm from a different angle. <\/p>\n

\tThese two positions of the mirror really help.<\/p>\n

\tTry these two tips they really help.<\/p>\n

Hi!<\/p>\n

\tThe inexpensive level you are talking about is small enough (at least the one I got at ACE hardware is) to super glue onto a pair of brick dice. That is just another way to check level throughout your whole throwing motion. Now I don’t throw with those dice but I can watch my hand\/arm motion all the way through. I keep this on my practice table and every day when I start practice with the brick dice I check a couple of times to see that everything is level before my first throw.<\/p>\n

\tThe mirror idea is a great one for anyone who has not discovered this yet. I keep adding mirrors and now I can see myself throw dice at any angle in 360 degrees. Kind of like throwing at the carnival house of mirrors \ud83d\ude06 but it does help tremendously!<\/p>\n

\tGreat tips Doc! \ud83d\ude0e<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Scan, I did get your e-mail but did not have your e-mail address since it came through the GTC message board. <\/p>\n
