New ten second rule

[220Inside]

Setting the dices shouldn't take more than 3 seconds IMHO. Maybe 4 if you get short-sticked. Set, gripped and ready to shoot in 5 seconds. Aim, focus and breath - another 4 to four seconds, then dice in the air by 8 seconds unless there's a distraction at the other end of the table.

I think the art of quick setting into your preferred set is a vastly overlooked skill in the DI world, yet is one of the easiest to master, IMO. You don't even need to be at a table or in a formal practice session to practice quick setting and improving this aspect of your game.

I would like to chime in and say, if you can't find your numbers, you should probably be playing bubble craps. 10 seconds is more than enough, and 5 shouldn't be a problem for any shooter.
