5 MOST COMMON MISTAKES MADE BY DARTS PLAYERS! 🎯🚫

My five biggest mistakes. 1. Miss the triple 20 2. Miss the triple 20 3. Miss the triple 20 4. Miss the triple 17 5. Miss the double. Walking to soon to quick can result in a bounce out to the groin

[@davetimmons2757]

I will partially disagree with the 19's advice. I've had many times where I have struggled on the 20, switched to the 19 for a turn or 2, get a little confidence back, then be able to hit the 20 again. Sometimes you need to change your target, just to get the flow back (and some confidence). The other tips, bang on!

[@THO-BRO2000]

I always switch to 19's when the 20 isn't going so well. It's nothing mental for me personally. It's just a way to get some good recovery shots. You don't want to know the amount of times I've scored 82 or 78 after a 5 or a 1. Then the next throw I just start at the 20 again. And when the 19's are also not working for me I tend to switch to the 18's since this is easier for switching back.

You mean 81 or 77 😉

There's absolutely nothing wrong with switching to 19's. That is brutally incorrect advice. Ask John Part....or basically any pro alive.

[@Hzv-lc7eu]

True, you cant force one number if doesnt go, need to change number

[@ross9481]

Exactly! You need to be proficient at hitting other trebles besides the 20’s, switching for a few throws helps you score more than 7, 9, 21 or 26!

[@bradwaters3891]

Good video mate. Especially for me who couldn't hit the ground if I dropped a dart.

[@Redeyedye]

The Biggest mistake wasn't even mentioned.. But before I even talk about that.. I disagree with switching from 20 to 19 if you are having issues.. If the 19's are working you can always stay there. The Biggest problem most dart players have and I have not see this anywhere.. Is moving your Elbow while throwing darts.. if your elbow move to the either side or up or down will change where your dart will land on the board.. if you can keep it in the same place your aim will improve.. It is something I consentrate on and it makes a differences

[@dartvader7335]

I am you newest subscriber as of May 16th, 2020 at 11:46 PM EST. The T19 gives you more room for error in your release. Triple 20 is such a precise shot that, I shoot at T19's most of the time when I play 501. One exercise I use to top up my triple twenties is to shoot one hundred triple 20's everyday until my consistency outpaces my scoring on the 19s.

[@bjrnhagen2853]

100 tripple 20s takes about an hour..for me..but tripple 19 i struggle whit

[@VersusTim]

Hardly disagree with #4. I'm not a tall and well to powerful player, but yet i still play with quite light darts with 22gr. I need lots of power for the 20 and if i run out of power i simply go to 19, because it's easier to aim for that number in case of throwing power. So i can refocus and regain power with the 19... works well.

[@DartCounter]

Thanks for sharing mate!

[@CowSaysMooMoo]

hardly disagree? or do you mean heartily?

[@craigratio]

Switch to the 19’s with almost every dart when you’re playing someone overly confident. It absolutely offends their soul that you’d be doing that against them of all people. Try it, it works up until a certain level.

[@zacbroxson1223]

It works at the highest level. You see the top ranked PDC players do it

[@rexhermachuelos5865]

I just started darting and when I play, I could not even aim and miss alot and for the entire time, I literally do it based on luck whenever I hit the bullseye or hit some 60's but I might improve little by little, thanks for sharing the tips.

[@knowyourouts3466]

Great video partner. Especially the second one. Even worse I get mad if some people play to slow and I end up playing faster. Hard to be composed and focus on your own game but you are so right.

[@djp411]

My only advice when playing a much slower paced player, is to take your time heading to the line (pretend you just got to the dart pub and are just getting your darts together, etc) but when you get to the line, throw at your normal pace.... if you can make yourself slow down in between "heading to the line" enough to slow down the "slow" player, he will do what you normally do, and speed up his play, thereby playing into your game LOL !!

Mensur does #1 a lot. He also looks like he's 'hurling' himself across the oche.

[@nonamenorman9410]

Mensur does that with every dart, not just the last one. It doesn't apply to him as much for that reason, and it seems to work alright. Either way, he usually becomes a ballerina just after throwing, not while throwing.

[@alexmack6454]

don't agree with tip 4 about 19's and 20's. obviously you should get used to always hitting 20's but if for some reason you're just not hitting them and you want to make something happen and maybe heading down to 19's is a good bet. even if its only for one dart and then you go back to 20's with your last two after you've got the feeling of standing at the oche and throwing. that's why tip 5 is so important too as it plays into this. often 19's will take you onto a good finish (on 233 and you hit 7 19's for example). good counting and the knowledge of how to get yourself onto a familiar finish can take the pressure off having a bad day shooting at a particular big treble

I'd like to see a video of what to do when you fix these 5 mistakes and you still miss the 20. I feel like it must be something in my hand/release but I haven't figured it out yet.

Try working out which eye is your dominant eye. Plenty or quick easy vids on KZbin to find out. Other than that try different stances and positions on the oche. Good luck

[@Jagojoe]

T P Thanks. I did work this out and unfortunately my dominant eye is opposite my throwing arm. So if I put the dart in the center of my face I cannot see the dart board

[@THP999]

@@Jagojoe mine is also. Not to worry, learn to trust your dominant eye and let your arm take the dart there. May require a minor adjustment in your throw. I find i throw alot more darts exactly in the spot i want it to go ... ie top left corner of the treble 20. Im left handed

[@THP999]

@@Jagojoe also i now bring the dart back past my left eye instead of underneath it so my right dominant eye is not distracted... hope this helps somewhat... goodluck

[@outshotdarts]

Mistake 3 overpowering, I try not to compensate because I know that the first dart did not go as planned for some minor defect with my throw and I do agree NOT to make any adjustment as this will as your video shows got o far away from the intended target. Having said that if the flight is partially blocking the target area then I will try to aim slightly to the side so as not to hit the flight and cause a bounce out. If the flight is totally blocking the treble 20 then I will go for the treble 19, but only in that case.

[@sebmahon8048]

I’ve only started playing darts in the last month and for me 19s are easier to hit than the twenties. I’m more consistent in hitting the triple 19 than what I am in hitting the triple 20. Of course I still will go for the triple 20 but going for 19s is a great way to get some confidence back if your darts keep falling in the 1s and 5s

[@MMmk1]

Why do you advise against 19s (vs 20s) if it's a common "trick" amongst the professionals?

[@des632]

Like Lee clegg if I've been rubbish with first 2 darts I always go for 19 with 3rd, more than not I'll get it , as a kid 19 was my favourite as I was short!!! Maybe being left handed helps? , My fav double is 16

[@acesunion691]

Something the app needs an outshot adviser. When we are at 241 for example, a calculated outshot should come up. That way we can get used to playing better darts. A shot calculator to show us the best way for a possible outshot. That simple. The mid game which is missing fro all apps. It's not the same hitting a big score and ending up 159 than hitting a score leaving 158. That small difference wins games sometimes, and that's what I'm looking for in an app.

[@dylanivey3707]

Anyone got any good ways of getting better at counting my darts. I struggle to decide what I wanna hit when I get down to a finish

[@Paltheus]

A good starting point is to not look at the board as singles, doubles and trebles but rather memorize all the numbers ---> (for 20s) 20, 40, 60, (for 19s) 19, 38, 57, (for 18s) 18, 36, 54, (for 17s) 17, 34, 51... and so on... On your last two darts, once you're comfortable with knowing you have to hit T13 (39) when you're at 71 to leave 32 for example, then you can start to memorize your combos down from 170, and after that 330-350. I also suggest you play the Bob's 27, and the 101double practice games.

[@benpander8015]

Thanks bro, where are you from

[@markrobinson7246]

every one has their own style. switching to the 19s is no problem. some times your eye is better on the bottom. doesn't matter were you throw though when your having a bad day. just don't let one bad game get to your head and move on

[@adellethompson9615]

Not really related to the video but I need some advice on what flights i should use with my darts. I'm currently using standards and while I can lay with them I feel there are flights that would better suit me and my throw and play style. i will list some information below regarding the kind of darts I've settled on using. The darts i am using currently are 18 gram and steel tipped. i likr a faster dart and the standards I am using now are quite slow. Any advice on the types of flights that would suit me would be very much appreciated (I thought here might be the best place to ask. I've tried other places and they just suggest using the standards but they're not working for me)

[@low-daddy]

Maybe try a slim or kite flight. Pear shape may work for you too. All these tend to be "faster" than a standard flight shape and will allow a straighter trajectory. Because of less surface area, accuracy is key. Smaller flights can be a lot less forgiving and will take a bit of practice getting used to them.

T19 is a good friend of mine :) I beat my friends just going for T19 when T20 becomes an issue, I have done that many time, so fair to say I hit more T19s than T20s.

[@Enpassantful]

That’s where I have been going wrong, I get to the board before the last dart lands.

[@Paltheus]

Switching to 19s is not a mistake in my opinion. The 19s are in the quadrant with the most points side by side on the board. If you are really botching your throws at least you're not hitting 26 (Bed and Breakfast) anymore. If you're a decent player and you hit some trebles in the 19 section it will also help you regain your confidence. What's the point of hammering in 5s and 1s if your throws a bit off? You will always need that 19 (and sometimes 17) cover shot, I don't care what anyone says.

[@timdolan4591]

I didn’t read all the comments…. Why at 405 you said you are screwed at 99 score? Why is this bad? Would you prefer a 5?

[@jzuidwijk]

It's a good video but i disagree with #4. Switching to the 19s can help you allot by refocus at the 20s again. Just ask any pro or top league player. You can overfocus and need to re-adjust you hand/eye coördination.

[@djbarraclough4038]

Well presented- I even laughed out loud twice- thank you for that! I have seen so many times the pros switching to the 19 - then switching back without any real issues... I suppose that is why they are the pros. As for me, I like practicing both but don't want to be relegated to switching because of a weak mental game. I can see the value of this advice.

[@barrywhite5502]

The pros shoot 10 times as much and have their accuracy down.

[@guardianmage8274]

nice Video, very good tips for beginners. I wanna add smth to the tip 3: if you are hitting the 5, switch to the 19. if ur hitting the 7 then, switch to 18 with the last. Practise these switchings around the whole board so u get a good feeling for this. Instead of trying to force the T20 after the 5, just aim in another direction helps alot to regain focus. If u are a fast player like me, u always want that one dart in the T20 so u can follow up with the same movement. If you can switch quickly, you can hold onto your pace and make as much points as possible :)

Totally disagree with tip #4, and the explanation he gives, the 19's can be a lot easier to hit, and hitting them well can devastate even a good player, the psychology of being beaten with 19's really rattles a lot of players. Besides , you absolutely need to be able to switch to any number.
