\nI need some insight on how to correct double pitching. I am double pitching around 10% of my throws. I randomly check my fingers when I grip the dice to make sure they are aligned and my grip is loose. I went for a live session today and all my 7’s were double pitches. I had 3 really bad hands and 1 decent (compared to my other 3) of 12 rolls, hitting a few of my come bets. If i can reduce this double pitching, my rolls could be epic. Thanks<\/p>\n

It is most likely a grip issue. Most of our issues are grip related. Make sure your thumb pressure is equal on both dice.<\/p>\n

Exactly what NFF said.<\/p>\n

\tTo add one more thing, we say that a double pitch 7 is a good 7 because you are throwing the dice on axis if you are using the hardway set which I hope you are. What you don’t want to see is 6\/1<\/p>\n

Thank you NFF and Dom. I will pay more attention to my thumb. After every few rolls, I always look at my three fingers to make sure they are straight but not as often at my thumb. Of course I am using the hardway set. \ud83d\ude42 I know they are "good 7’s", they just come too often for my liking. I will throw 3-4 (good 7’s) in a row and it’s been killing my SRR in the early going of logging my rolls with my new knowledge and when I am at the casino, it has made my rolls too short in length.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To confirm what has already been said, Rose and Doc can say that having that thumb centered is important. Over time we have found that we can sometimes get in a bit of a hurry and the thumb is not centered on the dice with the same amount of skin on each dice. We notice this is happening when we see a wobble as the dice are in the the air heading to the back wall. <\/p>\n

\tA simple adjustment like this can make all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n

I wanted to update…..<\/p>\n

\tWow!! So as soon as I came home from work, I went to my practice table and picked up the dice and looked at my thumb position. I moved it oh so slightly to the left and threw the dice. It felt good…. My first throw was 9 – the pesky 6\/1 showed up on a bad weak toss. My second toss, I threw 24 times before I double pitched. That is 33 rolls with only double pitching once. I love it. I wanted to toss more to see if I could keep it up but I need to make dinner. \ud83d\ude42 Looks like I will be deleting my first 500 rolls and starting over with this new found knowledge of my thumb. Thanks to everyone!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Double D—that is why this board is so helpful to everyone. The members of the GTC family are so very generous in helping others on this board.<\/p>\n
