Table Position

Everyone has a "natural throwing distance" - the distance that their body "wants" to toss the dice. For most people, the S-2 position (second position to right of the Stickman) is the "body mechanics preferred" position.

I have moved quite a few people to S-2 and their SRR's and on-axis performance has immediately jumped, along with many of the typical problems disappearing instantly.

The reason for this is that despite the math and physics, if you are throwing a distance that is shorter than your body wants to toss the bones, then you are REQUIRED to make an otherwise unnecessary correction to your toss to shorten it down to the distance you are imposing on yourself.

Helpful Tip on Shooting From Table End

Walt gave me some pointers about shooting from the end of the table.

I have been doing a lot of practice from that position, both underhand and overhand, with positive results
