    DICE GRIPS 

        

The preferred grip for you is the one that you feel the most comfortable with, has the least amount of friction and skin on the dice, and that produces the best results for you personally. 

You will need to practice as much as possible to produce the best results. Before you go to a casino for a session, practice on your practice box, or in the Hotel drawer just for a warm up to see how your throw is today, before the session. This will save you a lot of units and help save your bankroll!

There are numerous grips other than those shown on this page.  The 3-finger front grip is reputed to be one of the best grips to use.  Try this one, but experiment with some of the others shown here to find one that is comfortable for you, then stick with it.

The pressure applied to the dice should be as light as possible.  The more you practice a grip, the more you will get the "feel" for the dice.

This page IS NOT here to teach you how to grip the dice.  You can do some experimenting with different grips before taking the Dice Setting class.  During this class the Dice Coach will evaluate your set, grip and toss, and make appropriate recommendations.
