Any tips to improve cube handling in matches?

It is a new year resolution to try and improve my cube handling.

I was hoping that maybe some of the expert readers here would have a few tips –

According to the overall stats from ExtremeGammon my checker play is 1998 but my cube handling is a pathetic 1741.

I only play matches – usually 3, 5 or 7 points

While the trend in my checker play is upwards the trend in the cube play is downwards!

Looking at the details that ExtremeGammon provides – of my total errors the cube ones are as follows:

Wrong double – 4.18% Missed double – 10.22% Wrong Drops – 1.34% Wrong Takes – 5.35%

A few questions

a) would I be right to assume that for the good players on this forum there would be a much closer level of skill between their checker and cube play?

b) What would be likely reasons for my checker play to be improving over time and my cube play getting worse?

c) Would I be right to concentrate first on trying to find out why I didn’t spot those doubles that according to ExtremeGammon I missed?

d) Any general tips for improving cube handling?

All the best for 2010.
