\nHello All,<\/p>\n
\tFor years I have been an avid craps player, I have played in LV, Tunica, MS Gulf Coast and at my locals here in Central MS. I have read several books and watched hundreds of videos on grips, techniques and sets, and I have found what I think is the safest set, but I recently purchased a gripper from GTC and at first it helped me to get a tighter grip on the dice, but here in the last two weeks +\/- my grip has improved but my throw\/toss has been a little lackluster to say the least. I have recently and repeatedly picked up a double pitch. My question is simple: AmI trying to hard or am I just having some bad days?<\/p>\n
\tP.S. I play 4-5 days a week 6-8hrs a day, when I’m home from work.<\/p>\n
\tAny help\/advice would be greatly appreciated…<\/p>\n
\tI am trying to work my schedule out to where I will be home in time to get the Shreveport class.<\/p>\n
Posted by:<\/strong> Stephen C on February 23, 2017, 4:28 am<\/p>\n \tNow for the best advice I can give. Take the class. You can read all Franks books and commit every word to memory and they won’t do you a damn bit of good without knowing how to apply, correctly, the principals espoused in them.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on February 24, 2017, 11:56 am<\/p>\n \tGlad to have you aboard and part of the GTC family. You have already received some excellent advice. Alligator Rose and I will add our 2 cents worth. A class is imperative and most important. Only here can you have some of the finest instructors take a look at your throw and help you on your journey to becoming the advantage player we know you can become. <\/p>\n \tWe do have 6 classes a year–5 left in 2017. Classes for the rest of this year are in Memphis (near) Tunica Mississippi, in Shreveport LA, in Vegas and in Atlantic City. Hopefully one of these will fit your schedule. The exact dates are posted on the GTC web site. Call Dom at 866 SET DICE and he can sign you up. Not only will you learn more than you ever realized, but the class is a lot of fun. <\/p>\n \tHope to see you soon.<\/p>\n \tRose and Doc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> MIDNIGHT on February 24, 2017, 4:52 pm<\/p>\n \tMidnight<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on February 24, 2017, 6:09 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> MikeS on February 26, 2017, 3:45 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> HardNine on March 1, 2017, 3:24 pm<\/p>\n \tMy recent forays have relied on that heavily when I’ve dug a little hole before figuring out the table and coming back with confidence.

\n\tGood Rolling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tRegarding above, yup, yup yup. This is a fun, but sometimes frustrating journey. In my time with our GTC family, I’ve learned and relearned key aspects, but most recently, I’ve gotten, with the help of many, how to better evaluate what I’m doing right\/wrong, how to adjust at the table, or perhaps when to walk away.<\/p>\n
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tFront fingers were a little bit off, causing one dice to rotate faster.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tI’m practicing at home with a gripper all the time. I should be lined up.<\/p>\n
\n\tI’m pretty good at seeing what is wrong a lot of the time, but I have times where I have no clue.
\n\tIf you’re not at class and there is no one to watch you, I don’t see a good way to correct a mistake that you cant identify.
\n\tProblem with that is you will keep practicing with something that is off which seems like a bad idea, and that’s why I’m always trying to analyze when something goes wrong. I want to learn from the mistake and correct it asap.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tPossibly the pressure from the front three fingers is uneven. I’m sure one or more of the instructors will chime in.<\/p>\n
