It worked in practice, and the particular bouncy table I practice on. In Vegas Refresher, I&#8217;ve been described to have a nice soft touch with the dice. I thought I was decent at the time. However, I didn&#8217;t take a Refresher to stay the same.<\/p>\n<p>\tThen came the actual class. Everything was about to change about my swing. <\/p>\n<p>\tMinute but noticeable changes were made to stance, grip, finger placement, set up, arm, and swing&#8230; In summary, everything about my swing changed. THEN, the action on the dice changed. Towards the end of the week, rotation on dice was present, the way they landed improved ( so I&#8217;ve been told) and dices were flying together better. I started to get the praise I lacked most of the weekend, towards the end of the last day. Not that I was fishing for praises, but really, wondering, &quot; am I getting better, at all? am I on the right track? how does this look?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tA KEY advice that I&#8217;ve heard is, &quot; Just LET IT GO&quot;. or, &quot; Let it go&quot;, or, &quot; don&#8217;t be afraid to throw it hard ( harder?)&quot; <br \/>\n\tIt&#8217;s a new concept to me, or one that I&#8217;m trying to refine and get better at.<\/p>\n<p>\tI believe how I initially threw the dice, was almost like babying the dice. That&#8217;s how soft they were able to be thrown. yes, hitting the back wall, more than most times&#8230; Someone said to me, don&#8217;t try to control the dice, you have to let it go. <\/p>\n<p>\tto paraphrase at least&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\tLet me know if any of you guys can relate, or understand what I&#8217;m talking about. My old swing, felt like a heavy pendulum, very soft with the dice. My new adjusted throw, better action on the dice, but I haven&#8217;t zeroed in yet on what I&#8217;m doing correctly, feeling-wise at least. alright, hope this makes sense.
