\nWhile practicing, the dice are coming out and my knuckles are facing the target. I have been getting inconsistent results. Should my knuckles be facing the ceiling for my follow through? For this to happen, the throw requires a rotation in my wrist. Is this Ok?<\/p>\n

Not sure about what your describing when you say your knuckles are pointing at the ceiling. I try to keep the back of my hand parallel with my arm. No crook in the wrist. Imagine your arm in a cast, the major bones in your hand in line with the bones in your fore arm.<\/p>\n

\tAt the conclusion of my throw, the follow thru, my hand and arm have not changed from the beginning position. The back of my hand is pointing at the ceiling and I want the "bird" fingers knuckle pointing generally at the target.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I must not be lined up properly. When I pick up the dice my wrist is at an angle. On the follow thru, the "C" is pointing down?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If the back of your Hand is facing the ceiling and you’ve maintained the "C" all the way through it, the "C", will be facing the table top.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I will work on this. My follow should not go higher than my shoulder? Thanks for the feedback.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hi Striker:<\/p>\n

\tThe C grip that you start with should also finish facing down at the end of the throw. The follow through and ending should finish square. One way to check your finish is to leave your hand up at the end of the throw and check your lateral position. It is also good form to allow your arm to finish high (90 degrees) and don’t rush the arm back down. There should be no movement or flicking of the wrist at anytime in the process. This just adds unwanted energy and the dice will come off the wall in a random fashion.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thank Dice Pilot….I made the adjustment and my shot looks better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We like to hold our arm out straight–the Heisman look–and HOLD that position until the dice hit the table. By hold out release in practice we can look and make sure our release is straight. This seems to help us.<\/p>\n
