Tips & Tricks[]

Pay attention to the trajectory of the CDs: Observe the trajectory of the CDs as they fall through the air and adjust your dropping technique accordingly.
Experiment with different dropping techniques: You could try dropping the CDs with different hand positions and techniques to see what works best for you. You might find that a wrist flick or a full arm throw is more effective at landing the CDs in the cups.
Use a steady hand: Try to keep your hand as steady as possible while dropping the CDs to improve your accuracy.
- Thumb and index finger grip: For a simple drop technique, you could hold the CD between your thumb and index finger, with your thumb on top and your index finger underneath. This grip will allow you to release the CD with a flick of your wrist.
- Full hand grip: You could also hold the CD in your hand with your fingers wrapped around it. This grip will give you more control over the CD and allow you to release it smoothly and accurately.
- Pinch grip: For a pinch grip, you could hold the CD between your thumb and index finger, with your thumb on one side and your index finger on the other. This grip will allow you to control the CD with precision and is well suited for a simple drop technique.

Take your time: Don't rush the process of dropping the CDs. Take your time to ensure that you are aiming accurately and releasing the CDs at the right moment.
