I made a game up but it's more so for beginners... Around the clock but you only progress to the next number if you get it within the first two darts. If you hit it with the third dart you remain on that number, if you miss it with all three darts you go back a number

One of my favorite drills which helped raise my average from 60 to 67 is to start at 121 and if I finish in 6 darts I move to 122 and so on. If I don't finish in 6 darts, I go to 120 and have to finish in 6 darts to get back to 121.

So I watched this last night and it made me think about my throw as a below 45 avg and only a handful of 180s in my life. My first 3 darts were a 180 today. So thanks for that
@dylan_prodigy2 ай бұрын
one thing that helped me MASSIVLY is practicing with shoes on. I ALWAYS wear the same shoes because in a game like darts you need to be very precise, if your going from practicing with no shoes to playing in inch high shoes you will constantly go above the treble. no, you might not think its a big difference. but in a game like darts, IT IS! so get your shoes on!
@aussiesakman24 күн бұрын
Legend! I decided, on my own, to concentrate on grouping about a week ago. After 4 years, about 200 very random hours, I hit my first 180! This is great advice and will recommend your video to anyone starting out or struggling. Where were you 4 years ago? Lol

One tip I'd give is to mark the board with pen/chalk/whiteboard rather than with automatic scorers. It'll help with your counting within the game. Pay attention to how good players take out scores also.

@andyalker2852 ай бұрын
I remeber when I first started playing I just played finishing games with my dad. I learned to finish before I could score, once you know which ways to go finishing the scoring will come over time, once you know you can finish you’ll save a lot on the average instead of wasting darts going the wrong ways

been watching a while but thought i'd say that im enjoying the vids george, im probably a mid 50s average myself but my setup is awful, ive got no scolia (not that its needed, but would be ideal for the games and scoring etc) no fixed oche, not a huge fan of my darts even tho ive not lost a leg in the league yet somehow, ive got no light on my board. its tragic but im too stubborn to splash the money on a good setup haha

Honestly i would reccommend AGAINST a scolia, pure due to the fact that you'd practice your calculation skills aswell. You'd be training your setup shots and creating more chances to win if you go the right ways.
